It really depends on their mass. Very low mass objects can come together without being structurally torn apart by tidal forces that are stronger than the tensile strength of the objects.

intetesting come back. Unfortunately the overwhelming evidence by legitimate studies do not agree with you. I disagree with much of what you say. You included a lot of stereotypes in your arguments. I agree with some of your statistics but you fail to delve into how and why the conditions you quote came about. Your anecdotal evidence is no more correct as to what you call my anecdotal evidence.
If I understand your stance, you are an asian that lives in the deep south, in a less than affluent neighborhood. Despite this, you've managed to make it out. For some reason youve decided to buy into the mainstream rationalization. I dont understand why, but thats your perogative.
I am a middle class white male who grew up in a blue collar environment. I proved myself adequately in this neighborhood before moving on. I have lived in or among minorities all my life.

@jondspen we can start with Jim Crow. You say it ended in 1964 with the voting rights act. Not really
overt Jim Crow died, but institutional racism persists up to today.
Lets start with criminal justice. There are two types of justice in this country. One for whites, one for people of color. For the same crime, minorities get up to 20x longer prison sentences than whites. Whites are the dominant race perpetuating mass shootings. Yet they are, so far in most instances taken alive. But let a person of color get pulled over for a traffic stop and they are in constant fear of being beaten and abused during arrest, shot without real overt action, or are assumed to have a weapon whether they do or not. Minorities are stopped without substantial reason more than are whites by at least 75x more frequent.
Whites feel no compunction about telling a derogatory joke about a minority or a woman with them standing right there in hearing range. Because of power dynamics the recipient is unable to retort. A minority will recieve a physical threat, a women will be labeled a cunt or worse if they complain creating a hostile workplace for her.
Applications for loans and services is another area of white privilege. Whites will quite often given a more cursory evaluation on their loan or job application, while a woman or minority will have to endure increased scrutiny in the form of additional background searching, increased questioning, and increased scrutiny. Women and minorities are often paid substantially less for the same job as white males.
Everyday, the mainstream white culture sends silent messages to women and minorities. The perpetuation of unfavorable stereotypes is not only common, but extremely prevalent among whites. This often occurs in media depictions, overt looks, media roles, or expectation setting that tell them they are less valuable and less a person by whites, particularly by white males. Parents of minority have to warn their children growing up about the capriciousness and vengefulness of white males.
Environmental justice. Minorities having been pushed into lower income real estate and jobs. Obstacles and hurdles established to make sure they cannot rise out of their circumstances. Republican legislatures blocking access to health care and birth control for a population that needs it the most.
This barely scratches the surface of what white privilege and what white male privilege is. It is well documented and a fact. There is an incredible amount of research into this issue. All consistent and pointing in the same direction. Its not hard to find if you look. The statistics do not lie. They are scientifically carried out studies, set up to control for inherent biases and doubled checked for correct ...

@MsAl. I do this project every year for my science classes. Sometimes as small as a necklace, sometimes as big as a football field. The breakdowns I gave you are the major divisions of geologic time. Each of them are subdivided as well. Heres my suggestion.
Red - formatiom of planet to creation of crust and oceans. (13.2 - 9.0 billio yrs ago)
Blue-green for beginning of life
One white bead at end of this period for snowball earth (2500 milliom to 630 million or 2.5 billion to 0.63 billion)
Blue - Life predominantly in oceans (end this section in black as life dominated in swamps and this is where we get all our oil and gas) - 360 million to 630 million with the black beads going from 360 million to 240 million)
Green - age of dinosaurs. 240 million to 63 million
Brown - age of mammals and birds ( end this on in a pink the rise of humankind 63 million to human 2 to 3 million years ago.).
Heres a technical site has more information than you'll ever need.

@MsAl. I do this project every year for my science classes. Sometimes as small as a necklace, sometimes as big as a football field. The breakdowns I gave you are the major divisions of geologic time. Each of them are subdivided as well. Heres my suggestion.
Red - formatiom of planet to creation of crust and oceans. (13.2 - 9.0 billio yrs ago)
Blue-green for beginning of life
One white bead at end of this period for snowball earth (2500 milliom to 630 million or 2.5 billion to 0.63 billion)
Blue - Life predominantly in oceans (end this section in black as life dominated in swamps and this is where we get all our oil and gas) - 360 million to 630 million with the black beads going from 360 million to 240 million)
Green - age of dinosaurs. 240 million to 63 million
Brown - age of mammals and birds ( end this on in a pink the rise of humankind 63 million to human 2 to 3 million years ago.).
Heres a technical site has more information than you'll ever need.

@Trajan61. I agree, on this point we will probably never agree. Thats what civil discourse is about. I appreciate your exchanges today.
I unfortunately see Trump as the biggest overt racist since Farrakhan or David Duke.

@icolan I think he's referring to population growth due to migration from the south. He has a right to question the impact, but he is wrong in his conclusions as to how immigration is impacting jobs in this country. We arent losing jobs to southern immigrants as they by and large take the jobs most Americans do not want. In fact most of they imigres make better citizens than many of our natural born citizens.

@Trajan61 No, these people represent leaders to a contigency of the American population. They have influence with their following. To ignore them is to open yourself up to being blindsided at some time down the line.
Sharpton is an ardent supporter of black rights, and he is a powerful influence in the black community. By meeting with Sharpton, Obama could formulate the response that the Administration needed the black community to hear. A measured response as opposed to a radical message.
Im not sure of your deference to Eric Holder. He is fairly moderate.
Obama immediately distanced himself and crticized Rev. Wright when Wright's statements came out. I will give you this. Obama probably looked the other way on more then one occasion, as Wright's statements were probably weren't his first. He found a pastor whose most of the time was not controversisl. Once he became president it was no longer possible to ignore. He did his due diligence.
Farrakhan is also an influential black leader. It is better to keep the snake where you can keep an eye on its behavior, then to turn your back, ignore, and get bit later on. All leaders have an obligation to listen to different factions in the nation. Doesn't mean they buy the rhetoric, or agree with it. It just means they are smart enough to keep potential problem in their sites.
They also have an obligation to call out a groups behavior when it is not in the best interest of the country. Obama did that, he just did it in a measured and erudite way. I know it turned off many as he came off elitist, but he wasnt. He's a lawyer and realized that words matter. He knew he had to select his verbage exactly to avoid giving the potential for being misunderstood or misquoted. His sin was bering too careful and not letting his emotions come our until the end of his term.

@Trajan61. That is incorrect. At worst Obama was too timid in speaking to racist events. He tried to walk a neutral line for 3/4 of his two terms. He agonizingly avoided bring race into the dialogue when it was obvious that racism was involved. Because he was the first black president, he knew the precariousness of his role. As the first black president he knew the world and the nation were looking at him under a microscope. He was setting the legacy for future minorities who have presidential aspirations.
In the last quarter of his term.realizing that his term was winding down, he came out of his shell and stood up against the institutional racism driving the country. If anything he was too timid. The dominsnt culture hates to be held accountable for their poor and borish behavior. Its painful, and they hate to have their behavior thriwn back at them.

t1nick replies on Jan 20, 2019:
Many of the claims of racism are true. Long standing policies or behaviors that were racist were left unchallenged because the balance of power made it dangerous to individusls to speak up.
In the present environment, the balance of power has shifted due to demographics. It is now a safer environment to protest and call out racism where it exists. The dominant society hates to be called on its improper behavior, especially if they had been able to get away with it for decades with impunity. Accountability is always an uncomfortable thing. So, "everything is labeled racism today", may be true, but it just might that they always were and still remain so.
Caveat, false accusations will occur just because the law of probabilities suggest they should. Don't be seduced by these occurances. They are exceptions in the greater trend. Exceptions do not make the rule, they are just that, only exceptions.

Trump's Grandfather emigrated to the US from Germany in the 19th Century, they had a belief, similar to part of Nazi doctrine, that they had superior genes. So the fascism would come in part from that belief although the Nazi's adopted that rather than perhaps invented or initiated it.

@Renickulous. You cannot have it both ways. You cannot in effect offer to let women have control over their own bodies, but yet deny them the right to abortion. That is contradictory. Can't have cake and eat it to so to speak.
Second, let me carify my stance. I am not a medical doctor, but have taught Biology fir many years. I am used to arguing against those that claim humanness begins at conception. This is how I understand the argument.
A fertilized oocyte doesn't specifically exhibit human like characteristics until after the blastocyte stage. Prior to this the fertilized cell is capable of becoming almost any species if new genetic material is introduced. At this stage the cell is pliable and not defined. Naturally it carries the genetic material from both parents, but can be altered or exchanged for that of another species. It after the blastocyte stage that science recognizes the foetus as human.
On a moral stance. Which is worse. A life that never is attains awareneds or abstract thought, being cut short before conscience awareness occurs. Or seeing an unwanted pregnacy to proceed. The child being born into a world that cannot provide for them or does not want them. 60 years of growing up under these conditions often makes for dysfunction individuals due to social and economic circumstances they are born too. You can blame the Christians and Republicans for passing policies that control the womens body, but ignore the child after its birth. Both groups are hypocritical.

Its not necessarily by their own making. Everyone makes poor choices. But sometimes society makes choices for people. Historical trauma (Blacks and Natives for instance) is real and debilitating.
There are segments of any population that are lazy. These become the poster standard for those who want to find fault and withhold social and economic justice
Taken in their totality, most in each group are hard working and industrious. They just want to make a living like anybody else. They raise their children to be productive and contributors.

Step out of your protective sound chamber and circle of like minded filters and go investigate an inner city neighbothood of urban poor. or an Indian reservation in South Dakota.
If you havent reviewed my bio, take alook. I have worked with margonalized peoples for 30 years and have seen the impact of your white privilege from the inside.

@sfvpool. You are making .many false assumptions. Many of those less fortunate are not less fortunate by their own doing. There are many people that come into this life in despiration. Not their choice, born to it. But the idea of meriticracy for certain segments of our society is a myth.
The circumstances that allow individuals to raise themselves up by their boot straps does not exist. They are burdened with poverty, live in circustances that actively work to keep them from upeard mobility.
One of the evolutionary adaptations that allowed humans to survive a brutal and challenging beginning was the development of a sophisticated ability to communicate abstract ideas and culture and society. The bonding together by all members was necessary for the groups survival. That relationship and responsibility has not disappeared just because our numbers have significantly increased. Society is still an integral aspect of our species.
Your response has the hallmarks of white priveledge and discrimination against others of less opportunity, which unfortunately are made up principally of people of color. Their situation was created and perpetuated by colonial suppression, and furthered by white privilege controlling access to resources and power. Your outright refusal to support others in this society is just sad. Please do some research on social dynamics in this society before you make such specious assumptions and assertions.

Do you feel any patriotic or civil duty to assist those less fortunate and not able to have a employer that offers healthcare, or earns a substandard wage. Humans are social organisms that survived due to a certain fealty to their community (USA.in our case).
