We have a lot of blacks in America, yes.

I've never seen a security guard at Barnes and Nobles, though. Either I'm not looking hard enough or they only exist in certain areas

>>9649902
Huntington Beach CA here. Security guards in every B&N, they're usually black though, which is a bit paradoxical.

>>9649913
I had this explained to me once, they will steal anything and everything from a building if it can be sold, but if they work for the company it falls under the "that's my shit" category. Therefore whatever they protect is kept under a very watchful eye.

>>9649902
There are darkies in my country but I don't need a guy with a gun watching me while I buy Infinite Jest.

>>9649913
Have you never seen the news?

If a white B&N security guard tried to lay hands on an innocent African American teen they would by law be required to change their name from Barnes & Noble to "The KKK Book Club 1488"

>>9649902
There's always one in the two stores near me, but I live in an extraordinarily rich and white area. From my experiences in private schools in the area, rich white kids of elite families love to rebel by committing petty crimes like smoking weed and shoplifting, so I'm not surprised.

>checkout at B&N

In Canada we have security guards at grocery stores. People will load up a cart with hundreds of dollars worth of groceries and just push it out the door.

There are coffee table art books that cost like 150 dollars that you can hide under a decent winter jacket

The philosophy section is one shelf, and it's extremely depressing.

I hope that they have the rest of the philosophers hidden away in that 'fiction' section where they keep Ayn Rand and Dostoevsky, and it's just my fault for not looking hard enough.

Although they really need more good fucking Christian /lit/. Do they even have Aquinas and Augustine there?

Every single time. But all memes asides I'm genuinely sad at what B&N has become. Just five years ago it was a nice place to sit and read with little distraction. I have fond memories of my mom and I sitting in the cafe, me slurping a frappucino and reading manga while she thumbed through decorating magazines. Now it's just yet another filthy bed of consumerist nonsense. If there's anyone in the store that even reads book they're almost always a pseud.

Because, first and foremost, genetic predisposition means squat when it comes to behavioral outcomes. Far more important aspects are how you were brought up and how structured the environment you were raised in. Second, because scientific proof comes from evidence, not from people that discovered things related to those claims. His racial deterministic ramblings never were back up by the scientific community at large and he himself never presented any satisfactory evidence to his claims.
As far as I can see it, those were simply ravings of an old coot and should be treated at such.

I genuinely despise people like you. You have no idea what you're talking about, but you'll ramble on in circles for hours just because you refuse to accept that your entire ideology might be wrong. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that blacks are, on average, less intelligent than white people. We have all the data and statistical evidence that we need. Sadly, we can do no further research into this topic, or even talk about it, because anyone that does will be politically executed. And no, before you come out and say it, accepting facts does not make me a racist.

I have more of an idea than you, that I know for sure. Also, what you call "ramblings" is your bullshit being called on for what it is. If it goes for hours, you got only yourself to blame for lacking any sort of conclusive evidence to present it. Prove better, faggot.

It also doesn't take a genius to see that that claim holds no water whatsoever. And maybe not, but taking shoddy science with no conclusive evidence and no general acceptance in the scientific community to somehow justify bigoted opinions, does.
