>It’s what we a here for isn’t it?

Is it? To critique and find things wrong with charts? I don’t see that as a stated purpose of this sub. That’s not why we are here, maybe it’s why you are here.

Jesus. Can we pick more nits than that? This sub can be obnoxious sometimes. All people want to do is shoot holes in other peoples OC.

It’s not on there.

Yeah, you didn’t read the study. Not like you’re going to.

Nor did you even at the very least read/comprehend the part that I posted in my comment. That would have been more than enough to stop your from typing what you did.

The Veil of Darkness study also shows that just by being black, someone is more likely to be pulled over by police. This suggests to me that a persons race alone, is a factor which influence how much contact one has with the law.

> The Stanford team decided to repeat the analysis using the much larger dataset that they had gathered. First, they narrowed the range of variables they had to analyze by choosing a specific time of day -- around 7 p.m. -- when the probable causes for a stop were more or less constant. Next, they took advantage of the fact that, in the months before and after daylight saving time each year, the sky gets a little darker or lighter, day by day. Because they had such a massive database, the researchers were able to find 113,000 traffic stops, from all of the locations in their database, that occurred on those days, before or after clocks sprang forward or fell back, when the sky was growing darker or lighter at around 7 p.m. local time.

>This dataset provided a statistically valid sample with two important variables -- the race of the driver being stopped, and the darkness of the sky at around 7 p.m. The analysis left no doubt that the darker it got, the less likely it became that a black driver would be stopped. The reverse was true when the sky was lighter.

Anything people don’t like nowadays is propaganda or fake news. The premise that circle size based on population vs GDP being propaganda is absurd

Why is using one vs the other for circle size, propaganda?

I 100% agree! I too dislike arrogant people/leaders who try to incite violence.

You could have said that days ago instead asking a bunch of weird question, getting accurate answers then asking more weird questions, and wasting my time and your time. Next time just get to the point.

And we also agree that the government should not stick their nose into what people should and shouldn’t learn....right?

You asked “who” makes the decisions. I gave you an answer to THAT question. You didn’t ask who SHOULD. You’re arguing with air.

We agree. This is big government telling people in Georgia they aren’t going to learn about racial cleansing in their state. Obviously I disagree with that the DOE should be doing this.

These entire last few days, you keep arguing about nothing. You have something to say, say it. But phrasing it on the form of a question, then getting direct black and white answers and arguing with a straw man makes you seem incredibly disingenuous.

Get it off your chest, whatever it is.

I guess since I live in Georgia, my concern is Georgia. I don’t like whataboutism, I don’t think it’s helpful.

Here is the data on Tulsa. I did this a while back. It was 50/50 which is much better than Georgia, but it makes sense. Tulsa is one of, if not the most, infamous massacres of black folks in American history. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1182f8q/oc_i_asked_georgians_us_if_they_learned_in_school/j9f82x4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

It’s weird that you have had multiple times on social media where friends said “why weren’t we taught...” I’ve not experienced that before.

Anyway, it’s not on the curriculum, per a teacher who is also on the thread I link to.

This is Reddit. It’s not a given these are adults “decades later”. Current teachers also responded saying it’s not in the curriculum. I link to the thread in my top comment.

The department of education does. Do you want the literal names of the people? Not sure what you’re trying to understand or if you are asking a series of rhetorical questions.

Whomever makes up the curriculum...I.e. State and local governments.

Yeah. For sure. These are huge local events in history. The expectation isn’t that everyone should be taught this, but people who reside in each state should be taught some of the biggest events, that shape the history of that state.

No, not every event. But the big ones should be for sure. Thanks for the question.

Similar question someone asked about Tulsa, a while back. I didn’t ask, I just tabulated the responses. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/nrc7vm/oc_reddit_members_on_an_oklahoma_subreddit_were/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

>Do students in Oregon get taught that their state was founded with the law that Black people were banned from moving to the state?

I haven’t asked them. But if anyone wants to take on the project I’d love to know. I did tabulate responses when someone asked students in Oklahoma about Tulsa. I’ll dig that up and post it in this thread.

It’s specific enough to not be remembered for a student in Oregon or Connecticut to not be taught. In Georgia it’s a very significant part of the local history.

It was highlighted on a national scale as well in the mid 80’s when Oprah came to Forsyth and ran an episode about the history of Forsyth county.

Description / Comments:

A couple of years ago, I asked folks in the Georgia (U.S.) sub the following question. Were you taught in school about what happened i Forsyth County in 1912? Out of the replies I was able to get a clear answer on, only 11% of respondents learned anything about the racial cleansing.

Note: this is a small sample size. I don't know the demographics, counties, etc of respondents. It's should not be mistaken as a scientific and statistically significant survey. It's simply a question I posted to Reddit with a tabulation of responses. There were 144 responses, only 55 provided a direct enough answer to tabulate.

For those interested in today's demographics of Forsyth County, here they are:

White alone, 74.6%

Black or African American alone,4.9%

American Indian and Alaska Native alone, 0.5%

Asian alone, 17.9%

Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone,0.1%

Two or More Races, 2.0%

Hispanic or Latino, 9.8%

White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, 65.9%

How is it distorted? That literally one of the factors at play here. The title doesn’t imply it’s the students choice or not.

The dots should be bigger. Much bigger. If you do nothing else do that. The fonts should be bigger.

Also, you can definitely label the states, if you want to. Use two letter abbreviations. And where it gets cluttered, manually move them around using the line that will still point to the dot for ease in associating them with the right dot.

If you don’t want to label all of them, label a few outliers you know the audience would key in on.
