I've seen most of these before, but read through them all in a single sitting today.

Knowing this information is the real "social studies"

That’s the kind of social studies you DON’T want hands-on experience lmao

Thanks, I've read some of those before but not others.

There was also an amazing one I read by a former soldier describing his (and other soldiers') contact with blacks in the services. Wish I'd saved it.

Never read that one, any hints about its source to help find it? Love these.

I remember two specific stories from it:

* Affirmative action in the officer corps. A black army officer was promoted beyond his ability and posted to Iraq, others ended up having to do his work for him. Eventually they let their displeasure be known. He was dependent on a sleep apnea device, so he borrowed a hammer, the device mysteriously broke, and he used it as an excuse to transfer back home.

* Rape by black units. He explores the meaning of the phrase "running a train" and mentions that this doesn't seem to be a thing among any other ethnicity. He mentions that several members of some elite group (rangers?) independently told him of a coverup involving black servicemen raping civilians. He wasn't able to find any official documentation confirming it.

And some other points

* Lack of academic interest. He never saw any examples of blacks actually wanting to pursue academic subjects like mathematics or languages, whites and other races often did.

* Self segregation. Different races tended to self segregate in the army, blacks the most strongly so.

* Poor morale. Black units have a history of buckling under pressure and can't be trusted in key positions.

They're all at a blocked (wtf?) domain called American Renaissance

I have one criticism of "What I learned in Kindergarten"

It's an otherwise excellent article and full of interesting facts, but I fear the author suffers from her bias as a woman. She describes one incident as horrifying but I'm sure most males can confirm it is, in fact, hilarious:

One particularly clever boy thought it would be funny to urinate in the soap dispenser

Holy shit, thank you! This is the mother load!

After enjoying this reread again I was going to ask if anyone had the peace corps story, in ever expected to get the entire anthology!

Fantastic links.

Thank you.

Just a couple of years ago, I was so ignorant of so many, many things.
