Kia ora!
My name is Robbie and I'm another white man behind a desk and we are live at
BATS Theatre in Wellington!
Yes!
That's right, it's BATS theatre in Wellington, with an audience so left wing, it's more red
and green than fucking Christmas.
Today, we're talking about renting.
That annoying part of life that you just have to put up with for a few years in your twenties,
while you're a student.
And also when you're in your thirties and you work full time, and also your forties,
your fifties, your sixties, and on and on until you die.
Because you're never going to buy a house.
Now, before I move on, I can tell that some of you don't think that I'm
talking to you specifically.
So I'll say it again: if you are my age, give or take a few years, then you will not
buy a house, at any point in this country, at any point in your life, okay?
Banks have told you that you will, because they want your money, and political parties
have told you that you will, because they want you to vote for them, but unfortunately,
they're full of shit.
You will not buy a house.
Do you have any idea how expensive houses are?
And do you have any idea how little money you have?
According to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand, if you're earning an average
wage and you want to save up for a deposit on a lower-quartile house in Auckland, on
your own, it could take you up to thirty-two years.
That's right, thirty-two years of saying "I'll get the next round," and then immediately leaving,
just to save enough money to start a mortgage.
And then you have to pay off that mortgage, at a rate of seven hundred dollars a week.
I can count on my hand the number of times I've spent seven hundred dollars in one
go, and now you have to pay that every week for thirty years.
Even if your parents own a house, and you've managed to kill off all of your siblings, that might --
someone has --
that might still not be enough, because your parents' house is probably earmarked to fund their
retirement.
The money they get for it isn't going to you so you can buy your own home — it's
going to a Norwegian cruise company, so your parents can visit the fjords and participate
in traditional Viking group sex rituals.
And, I know it's upsetting to think about your mum and your dad, rolling around in a
room full of naked scandinavians, all just going to town on each other and refusing to give
you a deposit for a house.
But that's just how it is.
The only way you'll ever be able to buy a house is if we all work really hard, right
now, to fix the economy.
And then your kids lend you some money to buy a house.
Because, for millenials, and I cannot stress this enough, it is too late.
So get used to your new future: collecting your super on Tuesday, going down the road
to sink some crafties with your mates on Wednesday, and on Thursday, getting your grandkids to
help you tidy the place up before your property manager Tracey comes round for a flat inspection.
And for that future to be even marginally bearable, some really big changes are needed.
Because our tenancy policy wasn't that great in the first place, and now that more and
more people are renting for longer and longer, the flaws in our policy are becoming painfully
clear.
A single bathroom in a four bedroom flat was bad enough, but now imagine that every room
has a couple in it, and all eight people have the bladder control of an eighty year old,
because guess what: you're all poor and eighty years old and still flatting because
you will never buy a house.
So!
What does the government have to offer us millennials who'll be renting forever?
Well, a housing warrant of fitness that sets standards for warmth and dryness is a good
starting point.
In 2009, the National government introduced a funding programme called "Warm Up New
Zealand: Heat Smart", (I do not know where the emphasis goes in that), and a University of Otago
study tracking the programme found that people who had their houses properly insulated had
lower rates of hospitalisation and mortality.
That's right, when the government helped landlords insulate their houses, the people
who lived in them died less, and the government saved nearly a billion dollars in health costs,
which means that shitty flats are costing taxpayers.
But we can't just set standards for rentals, we also need to take the burden of enforcing
those standards off tenants.
Because currently, if a landlord doesn't fix a problem, it's up to renters, who might
be single mothers working two jobs, to take it to the tenancy tribunal, and single-handedly
fight for justice, like Russell Crowe in Gladiator.
But at least Russell Crowe didn't have to feed a family at the same time!
They'd all luckily been killed by the Romans, so stroke of luck there.
And the potential stress of facing the tenancy tribunal has a massive chilling effect, so
lots of people just put up with unhealthy properties, which is stressful, or they move
out—which is also extremely stressful.
Not to mention that at any point in this process, your landlord can serve you with a no-reason eviction
with ninety days notice, and replace you with someone who doesn't complain.
All this policy isn't evil, it's just crap.
Because it's based on the idea that renting is just a phase.
But for our generation, renting is a lifelong reality.
We need clear, strict standards for rentals, and an auditing authority that can hold people
to those standards, and advocate on behalf of tenants.
Imagine how nice it would be if you didn't have to fight to stop your house from killing
you, but what if it turns out we should expect from our homes than simply refraining from
murder?
What if, for example, after you paid rent each week, you still had enough money to feed
your children, go on car-trip-based holidays, or, every so often, treat
yourself to a fancy bottle of wine? As long as it's, obviously, still under fifteen
dollars.
Obviously right now, those goals are just the fanciful pipe dreams of the wealthy elite.
For the June 2017 year, about one in five renting households spent forty percent or
more of their household income on rent and other housing costs, and it gets way worse
if you're old, because superannuation is only enough to live on if you already own
a house.
After tax, an old person living on their own currently gets $400.87
of super a week.
And according to TradeMe's Rental Price Index, the national median rent for a small
house is $390 per week — which means that that old person
is giving ninety-seven percent of their super directly to their landlord.
It also means they have to fund the rest of their week on ten dollars, which is less than
the price of a single ticket to a slightly racist Judi Dench film, and my grandparents
need those.
If we're going to be renting forever, we need to have enough money left over each week
to pay for a vaguely pleasant life, which means we have to increase incomes.
And we know how to do that. We up the minimum wage, increase human capital, strengthen unions,
while boosting worker mobility and sustaining labor demand, yadda yadda yadda, easy-peasy
lemon squeezey.
The real trick is to make sure that rents don't go up at the same rate as incomes.
And because rent controls have an annoying tendency of actually making things worse for
most people, the only real way to stabilise rents is to increase the supply of housing.
But be warned, everyone, okay? To talk about increasing housing
supply in cities is to utter the incredibly-obvious-idea-that-shall-not-be-named:
density. Okay?
Now, "people who live in leafy Auckland suburbs"—or "rich whites"—they don't like the idea
of higher density housing, and to be fair, higher density housing might increase their
chances of living next to normal people, which I know they find upsetting.
These NIMBYs have visions of towering concrete slums sprouting up in the beautiful, charming
neighbourhoods that they worked so hard to price poor people out of.
But as it turns out, people who are pushing for higher density housing also don't want
towering concrete slums.
In fact, people who live in towering concrete slums don't even want towering concrete
slums.
So let's all just shut up about the towering concrete slums.
In practice, most of the time higher density just means fewer sprawling nine-bedroom mansions,
and more townhouses.
So a good first step to increasing city housing would be to create a property class for the
medium-density properties you'd like to see, and then just incentivise the fuck out of
them through zoning decisions, and tax breaks, and international investment rules.
And to avoid those aforementioned towering concrete slums, make sure that the new construction
is a mixture of market properties, cheaper properties, and build-to-rent properties.
Because when supply catches up to demand, and more professional landlords enter the
market, a lot of really good shit starts falling into place.
Life for amateur landlords gets easier, because there's an industry standard to copy, and
the standards of rental properties get better, as landlords work to attract long term tenants,
trying to reduce costly vacancies.
And longer-term leases mean new standards and legislation about how comfortable tenants
can get.
Because you should be able to have pets, and paint the kitchen, and do up the garden, and yes, put
a nail into the wall, Tracey, okay? It's not the end of the world for a nail to be in the wall, okay?
*Applause.*
Look...
Thanks for the support, guys.
Renting will continue to suck as long as you feel like you're just living in your landlord's
AirBnB for a year.
You should be able to make your rental your home, and feel some sense of ownership over
it.
You should be able to raise a family there if you want, and not worry about your kids
having to move schools all the time.
Because once again: we are going to be renting forever.
Even if we fix the housing market within twenty years—which is a big if—it'll be too
late for millennials to get on the property ladder.
The housing crisis isn't fucking over everyone for a few decades, it's fucking over one
generation permanently.
So to make it up to us, the least you can do is make renting really bloody good.
And I know some of you are thinking, "Hey Robbie, this all sounds great, but even if
renting becomes really great, in renting rather than owning, aren't we still funnelling
our wealth to a landed gentry who become increasingly wealthy off the backs of poor people?
I mean, what's the difference between that and full-blown feudalism?" And to that!
To that, I would say: at least you can put a nail in the wall now!
At least you can put a nail in the wall.
Thank you.

Trump Ruined This Woman's Life, But She Still Supports Him! - Duration: 5:57.
IN JANUARY, A WOMAN WHO VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP HAD HER
HUSBAND REPORTED.
SHE DID NOT SUPPORT HER HUSBAND, BUT ICE OFFICIALS DID EVEN
THOUGH HE CAME INTO THE COUNTRY AS A MINOR AND HAD NEVER
BROKEN ANY LAWS, WAS A PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY.
CINDY GARCIA WAS VERY UPSET WHEN HER HUSBAND JORGE WAS DEPORTED
AND CNN WANTED TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH HER, GET A LITTLE UPDATE
FROM HER AND SEE HOW SHE IS CURRENTLY FEELING ABOUT THE
WHOLE SITUATION.
IS SHE UPSET AT THE PRESIDENT THAT SHE VOTED FOR AND
SUPPORTED?
TAKE A LOOK.
WE WERE DOWN IN MEXICO FOR 2 1/2 MONTHS IN APRIL AND WE
WERE GLAD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GO AND SEE HIM.
HOW IS HE DOING?
HE LOST 30 POUNDS.
HE LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HE DID LOOKING LIVING HERE IN
THE US.
THE MEXICO LIFE HAS TAKEN A TOLL ON HIM.
SO HE HAS BEEN IN MEXICO SINCE JANUARY AS SHE MENTIONS.
HE HAS LOST WEIGHT, IT IS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR HIM BUT
WHAT I FOUND INTERESTING WAS WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE,
HER REACTION TO THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF AND WHETHER OR NOT
SHE HAS TURNED HER BACK ON HIM.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD BE FURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THE
GOVERNMENT HAS DONE, MAYBE EXPRESS THEIR IRE TOWARD
THE PRESIDENT BUT I READ YOU ARE NOT MAD AT THE GOVERNMENT,
YOU UNDERSTAND THE LAWS.
CAN YOU ASK LANE THAT'S ME A LITTLE BIT?
YES, I AM NOT UPSET AT OUR GOVERNMENT DUE TO THE FACT
THAT I AM A US CITIZEN AND THAT OUR LAWS COME 1ST.
OUR LAWS ARE JUST BROKEN AND NEED TO BE FIXED BUT I
CANNOT BE MAD AT TRUMP FOR DOING HIS JOB BECAUSE THAT IS HIS
JOB TO PROTECT US AS US CITIZENS AND CRIMINALS.
THE ONLY THING IS MY HUSBAND WAS NOT A CRIMINAL AND THOSE ARE THE
LAWS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THEY ARE BROKEN FOR THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE, WERE BROUGHT AS CHILDREN, DOING THE
RIGHT THING AND HAVE NEVER COMMITTED A CRIME, WE NEED TO
FIX A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP FOR THEM, FOR THE CRIMINALS WHO
HAVE COME HERE ILLEGALLY, THEY NEED TO GO BACK.
ANA, ARE YOU SURE THAT SHE DIDN'T REPORT HER OWN HUSBAND?
I DON'T KNOW, FIRST, LET'S GET AN IMPORTANT POINT OF THE WAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY CNN THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO
COVER THAT WOMAN'S FACE WITH A ROSEANNE GRAPHIC.
WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?
THAT WAS RIDICULOUS.
THEY BECOME A SELF-PARODY.
EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE SCREEN IS GOING TO BE COVERED BY
OLIVER GRAPHICS.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE A LESSEE WHAT IS ON THE SCREEN.
IF YOU WANT A GRAPHIC, FINE BUT DON'T COVER A QUARTER
OF HER FACE WITH THAT.
LET'S MOVE ON'S ACTUAL SUBSTANCE OF THE STORY.
TRIM CAN DO ANYTHING TO HIS SUPPORTERS AND THEY WILL
STILL SUPPORT HIM.
THEY WILL SOMEHOW DO WHATEVER
MENTAL GYMNASTICS ARE NECESSARY TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING HIM.
TRUMP IS THE PERSON WHO TOOK THOSE PROTECTIONS AWAY FROM
DREAMERS.
HE IS THE ONE WHO DID THAT.
I AGREE WITH HER THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE ACTION ON A
CONGRESSIONAL LEVEL IN REGARD TO HER IMMIGRATION POLICY BUT
ALSO LISTEN TO HER WORDING, THE RHETORIC THERE, WHEN IT
COMES TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO CAME INTO THE COUNTRY.
IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE CRIMINALS WHO CAME INTO THE COUNTRY
ILLEGALLY, SHE PAINTS THIS PICTURE THAT I KEEP SEEING
ON THE RIGHT ABOUT IMMIGRANTS COMING IN, THEY ARE ALL
CRIMINALS, IF THEY WERE MINORS THAT THEY DIDN'T COME IN AS
MINORS AND THEY WERE CRIMINALS WHO ALL NEED TO BE
DEPORTED, THEY ARE NOT ALL CRIMINALS.
A LOT OF THEM CAME HERE BECAUSE THEY DESPERATELY NEEDED
OPPORTUNITIES OR THEY ARE TRYING TO FLEE VIOLENCE IN THEIR OWN
COUNTRIES AND THEY HAVE BEEN PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY
WHO HAVE REPORTED ABOUT THE TAXES THAT THEY DO PAY WHETHER
IT IS SALES TAXES, SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES WHICH THEY NEVER
GET TO REAP THE BENEFITS OF AN THEY ARE NOT CRIMINALS,
JUST SIMPLY CROSSING THE BORDER, I GET IT THAT YOU ARE
BREAKING THE LAW, BUT THEY ARE NOT ALL MS 13
GANG MEMBERS BECAUSE THEY CAME INTO THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.
A LOT OF THEM CAME INTO THE COUNTRY LOOKING FOR BETTER
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEMSELVES AND FAMILY.
BY THE WAY, HAVE YOU EVER CROSS THE STREET WHEN THERE
WASN'T A GREEN SIGN AND A WALK SIGN?
IF YOU DID, YOU ARE CRIMINAL THAT IS TECHNICALLY
BREAKING THE LAW.
YOU CAN GO AROUND SAYING YOU BROKE THE LAW BUT I SURE
HOPE YOU'VE NEVER STEPPED ON THE STREET WHEN IT WASN'T A
LIGHT BECAUSE OF SO YOU ARE A CRIMINAL.
WE TO GET YOU ARE THE COUNTRY BEFORE WE FIGURE OUT WHAT
IS GOING ON.
I HAVE OF COURSE NOW LOST ALL SYMPATHY FOR HER.
THE PROPAGANDA WORKS SO WELL THAT SHE IS ALMOST THINKING
THE PRESIDENT FOR DEPORTING HER OWN HUSBAND.
SHE SAYS LOOK, HE WAS NOT A CRIMINAL BUT TRUMP SAID HE
WAS GOING TO DO DEPORT PEOPLE AND HE CALLED
MOST OF THEM CRIMINALS AND RAPISTS.
IN THE CONSERVATIVE
MIND, IT'S NOT ME, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
EVEN IF THEY ARE MY OWN RACE, DOESN'T MATTER.
EVEN IF THEY ARE IN THE SAME EXACT SITUATION AS MY HUSBAND
IS IN, I DON'T CARE.
OH NO, IT HAPPENED TO ME.
EVEN THEN, SHE IS LIKE I DON'T GET IT, HE IS NOT A CRIMINAL.
WE HAVE TO FIX THIS LAW.
WE HAD IT FIXED.
OBAMA SAID THAT THE DREAMERS COULD STAY, THAT YOUR
HUSBAND COULD STAY AND THEN TRUMP CHANGED IT.
HE IS THE ONE WHO DECIDED TO KICK OUT YOUR HUSBAND BUT
SHE IS LIKE NO, THE LAWS ARE BROKEN BUT TRUMP IS DOING
THE RIGHT THING, HE HAS TO GET THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY,
THE CRIMINALS, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE CRIMINALS BUT DOES
NOT COMPUTE, MY HUSBAND IS NOT A CRIMINAL BUT I LOVE TRUMP.
THEN GO MARRY TRUMP.
IT IS DEPRESSING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH HIS
POLICIES NEGATIVELY IMPACT MEMBERS OF HIS BASE, THEY WILL
CONTINUE SUPPORTING HIM NO MATTER WHAT AND WHAT HE
SAID WHILE HE WAS CAMPAIGNING FOR PRESIDENT WAS ACCURATE.
HE COULD SHOOT SOMEONE ON FIFTH AVENUE AND PEOPLE WILL
STILL SUPPORT HIM.

Study Shows The Deep Racism Of Republicans - Duration: 10:30.
HARVARD RESEARCHERS LOOKED INTO THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN JUDGES WHO ARE APPOINTED BY DEMOCRATS VERSUS
REPUBLICANS AND HOW THAT IMPACTS THEIR SENTENCING DECISIONS.
ARE THERE DIFFERENCES AND IF SO, WHAT ARE THEY?
THE RESEARCHERS FOUND
THE FOLLOWING:
THEY FOUND THAT REPUBLICAN APPOINTED JUDGES ARE LIKELY TO
BE HARSHER ON BLACK CRIMINALS WHEN IT COMES TO SENTENCING
AND ARE MORE LENIENT WHEN IT COMES TO FEMALES WHEN IT
COMES TO SENTENCING.
I HAVE TO BE HONEST, I WAS SURPRISED BY THE FEMALE
CONVICTS IN THIS CASE.
I AM A LITTLE IFFY ON THAT PART OF IT BECAUSE WHILE THE DATA
MIGHT PROVE THAT TO BE TRUE, I DO THINK THAT GIVING JUDGES MORE
DISCRETION IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOU START DOING MANDATORY
MINIMUMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, OFTENTIMES THOSE MANDATORY
MINIMUMS ARE INFLUENCED BY THE PRIVATE PRISON INDUSTRY AND
THOSE WHO WANT TO IMPRISON PEOPLE FOR LONGER PERIODS
OF TIME BECAUSE THERE IS A PROFIT MOTIVE BEHIND THAT
SO I DO LIKE JUDGES HAVING MORE DISCRETION BUT ACCORDING TO THE
DATA IN THIS STUDY, THERE ARE DOWNSIDES TO THAT IN SOME CASES.
I THINK THAT IS A REALLY TOUGH QUESTION, ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU DIVE INTO THE DATA HERE.
1ST, LET'S BE FAIR TO REPUBLICAN JUDGES IN A COUPLE OF
DIFFERENT WAYS.
IF YOU ARE A WOMAN, WELL, YOU WANT TO DRAW A REPUBLICAN
JUDGE, THEY ARE GOING TO BE MORE LENIENT ON US IN A POINTED OUT.
IT'S NOT REALLY FAIR TO MEN, BUT REPUBLICAN JUDGES ARE NOT
THE ONLY ONES THAT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AFRICAN-AMERICAN
DEFENDANTS.
THEY JUST DO IT MORE, SO ON AVERAGE, AFRICAN-AMERICAN
DEFENDANTS GET 4.8 MORE MONTHS FOR THE SAME CRIMES THAT
WHITE DEFENDANTS DO, SO YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT WHITE
PRIVILEGES OR MY NOT EXPERIENCING IN YOUR LIFE,
BUT THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE PHRASE OF WHITE
PRIVILEGE IS THAT YOU NEVER SEE IT IF YOU ARE WHITE.
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT YOU GOT FIVE MONTHS IN PRISON LESS
THAN A BLACK I DID FOR THE SAME CRIME SO AS YOU ARE SITTING
IN PRISON, YOU DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE WHITE PRIVILEGE.
YOU DON'T HAVE YOU READ YOU'RE NOT RIGID ON A POWER, YOU
ARE SITTING IN A JAIL CELL.
WE DON'T KNOW IS YOU GOT FIVE MONTHS LESS THAN A BLACK
MAN FIRST THE SAME THING.
PEOPLE FIND IT OFFENSIVE OR AT LEAST DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT OR
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WHOLE NOTION OF WHITE PRIVILEGE IS BECAUSE
IT IS BASICALLY ACCEPTING THAT YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCING
CERTAIN THINGS AND SO IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCING THINGS THEN
IT IS HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND IT SO IF YOU ARE GETTING A
SHORTER PRISON SENTENCE YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THAT.
I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO A WHOLE DISCUSSION ABOUT WHY PRIVILEGE
AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT DO PEOPLE WHO
DON'T WALL AND THEY WILL GET TRIGGERED BY IT BUT LET'S GET
GOING WITH THE FACTS THOUGH THIS IS MY INTERPRETATION OF IT BASED
ON OBVIOUS MATH HERE BUT DEMOCRATIC JUDGES, THEY GIVE
ABOUT TWO MONTHS MORE TO BLACK DEPENDENT DEFENDANTS THAN WHITE
DEFENDANTS AS WELL BUT REPUBLICANS GAVE EVEN MORE
SENTENCING, LONGER SENTENCES TO BLACK THAN DEMOCRATS DO.
ALSO THIS IS A SMALL DISTINCTION AND TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS
WORTH BUT WE ARE SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT JUDGES
APPOINTED BY REPUBLICANS VERSUS JUDGES APPOINTED BY DEMOCRATS.
WE ALL KNOW IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT A REPUBLICAN WILL
APPOINT A REPUBLICAN JUDGE AND DEMOCRATS WILL DO THE SAME
BUT THAT IS A STILL AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.
I HEAR YOU BUT PEOPLE HANG THEIR HATS ON THOSE
SEMANTICS AND IT'S NONSENSE.
REPUBLICANS VUTE IN REPUBLICAN WAYS.
GORSUCH SAYS THERE ARE NO REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT
JUDGES BUT THEN VOTES WITH THE REPUBLICANS EVERY TIME.
OF COURSE THERE ARE.
SOMETIMES THEY ARE EVEN ELECTED AND THEY ARE IN A POLITICAL
PARTY.
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT JUDGES FROM STATES THAT ARE HISTORICALLY
MORE RACIST SO WAY, HOW DO YOU DETERMINE IF ESTATE IS A RACIST?
THEY HAD AN INTERESTING PROXY FOR THAT.
WHAT IS THE POLLING ON WHETHER YOU THINK INTERRACIAL
MARRIAGE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
IF YOU LIVE IN A STATE WHERE THERE IS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE
OF PEOPLE WHO THINK INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE IS UNACCEPTABLE OR
SHOULD BE ILLEGAL, THE SOUTH, BUT NOT JUST THE SOUTH.
IF YOU LIVE IN A STATE LIKE THAT THEN BLACK DEFENDANTS ARE
TREATED EVEN MORE HARSH THAN WHITE DEFENDANTS SO YES, IT IS
CULTURAL IN SOME WAYS SO WHEN PEOPLE SAY WE ARE PROUD OF OUR
HERITAGE, THERE ARE GOOD THINGS TO BE PROUD OF EVERYWHERE
INCLUDING IN THE SOUTH BUT THERE ARE ALSO BAD PARTS SO IN THIS
CASE THAT CULTURE OF RACISM SEEPS DOWN AND IT DOESN'T MEAN
EVERYONE IN THE STATE IS OR EVERY REPUBLICAN JUDGES BUT ON
AVERAGE, IT DOES SEEM DOWN SO THAT BLACK PEOPLE GET MORE
PRISON TIME THAN WHITE PEOPLE FOR THE SAME CRIMES.
AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO REALLY EMPHASIZE THAT.
SO HOW WAS THE STUDY DONE, WHAT WAS THE METHODOLOGY?
AS I MENTIONED IT WAS DONE BY TWO HARVARD RESEARCHERS AND
ALMA COHEN AND CRYSTAL YANG ARE THE RESEARCHERS WHO DID THAT.
GO TO GRAPHIC 38.
HERE'S THE METHODOLOGY.
ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY THIS PARTICULAR STUDY IS GETTING SO
MUCH ATTENTION IS BECAUSE OF ITS LENGTH AND BECAUSE OF HOW
EXTENSIVE IT WAS AND SO PEOPLE WHO STUDY CRIMINAL JUSTICE
ARE LOOKING AT THIS AS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT DATA.
THIS IS NOT A POLITICALLY MOTIVATED FLAWED STUDY,
THIS IS A PEER-REVIEWED STUDY THAT AGAIN WAS DONE OVER A
LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND OF COURSE, THEY MADE SURE TO
LOOK AT PEOPLE WHO WERE CHARGED AND CONVICTED OF THE SAME
CRIME IN ORDER TO COMPARE THESE DISPARITIES.
ANOTHER FINDING THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING WAS THAT
BLACK JUDGES TREAT MALE AND FEMALE
OFFENDERS MORE FAIRLY.
IT TURNS OUT IF YOU ARE A BLACK REPUBLICAN YOU MIGHT LIKE
LOWER TAXES BUT YOU DON'T NECESSARILY THINK BLACK
PEOPLE ARE DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU ARE BLACK.
BY THE WAY, IT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE BUT IT TURNS OUT ON
AVERAGE FOR JUDGES IT IS THE CASE.
THEY LOOKED AT HALF A MILLION DEFENDANTS.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT STUDY.
I ACTUALLY THINK THEY WENT OVER THE TOP AND TRYING TO POINT
OUT HOW FAIR AND NONJUDGMENTAL THEY WERE TAUGHT IN ONE
CASE THEY TALKED ABOUT, THEY SAID LOOK, WE ARE NOT
JUDGING WHETHER THIS IS A RIGHT OR WRONG THING.
WHAT YOU MEAN?
BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING LENGTH AND LENGTHIER SENTENCES
THAN WHITE PEOPLE FOR THE SAME CRIME.
YOU CAN JUDGE THAT, THAT IS A BAD THING.
IT IS LIKE BENDING OVER BACKWARDS, RIGHT WING,
MAYBE IT IS AN OKAY THING TO BE RACIST AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE.
LET ME READ YOU THE EXACT QUOTE BECAUSE LET'S REPRESENT
THEM ACCURATELY.
THEY SAID THE FOLLOWING:
THAT IS WHAT THEY SAID.
YES, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO DENIGRATE THEM, THEY DID AN
AMAZING STUDY BUT THAT QUOTE IS SAYING MAYBE IT IS OKAY FOR
REPUBLICANS TO SEND SENTENCE OF BLACK PEOPLE TO LONGER
TERMS THAN WHITE PEOPLE.
TODAY THINK THAT?
I HOPE NOT BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE RIGHT-WING
ATTACKS EVERYONE ENDLESSLY.
THIS IS MY SPECULATION SO TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH.
MY READ IS THAT THEY DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO THINK THAT THIS
RESEARCH WAS DONE WITH POLITICAL MOTIVATIONS.
THEY WANTED TO FIND ACCURATE DATA AND MAKE SURE THAT IT
IS CLEAR THAT IT IS ACCURATE DATA THAT IS NOT
POLITICALLY MOTIVATED BECAUSE THEY KNOW THIS IS A
SENSITIVE TOPIC THAT THEY WILL PROBABLY GET ATTACKEDÖ
AND I'M SURE THAT A LOT OF THE RIGHT WING WILL GO, GOD THEY
SAID THAT BECAUSE I THINK LIKE PEOPLE SHOULD GET HIGHER
SENTENCING FOR THE SAME CRIMES AS BLACK PEOPLE, BECAUSE
THEY'RE MORE DANGEROUS THAT YOU THINK THEY WILL SAY THAT?
THEY WILL SAY THAT IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF THIS VIDEO.
AND THE NEW YORK TIMES BENT OVER BACKWARDS AND SAYS IT WAS
1999 AND 2013 AND SINCE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS PUSHED
FOR SENTENCING REFORM.
SOME OF THAT IS A TINY BIT TRUE.
DO YOU THINK THAT HAS AFFECTED ALL OF THE JUDGES IN THE
COUNTRY ALREADY.
RAND PAUL SAYS HE WANTS HIM SENTENCING REFORM.
NEVERMIND EVERYBODY, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY ARE DOING IT.
TO BE FAIR TO THEM, THE JUDGES AREN'T GOING AROUND SAYING
I HATE BLACK PEOPLE, I AM RACIST, I'M GOING TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE BLACK PERSON GETS MORE TIME AND I HATE
GUYS AND I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THE GUY GETS MORE TIME.
NO, IT IS SUBCONSCIOUS BIAS.
IT IS IMPLICIT BIAS, THAT
IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU AND THEY LOOKED A HALF
1 MILLION CASES, IT IS CLEARLY THERE.

Australian shoppers to be blocked from Amazon's US site - Duration: 2:29.
Amazon to block Australian shoppers from its US websites By senior business correspondent Peter Ryan Online retail giant Amazon will block Australian consumers from its global sites to counter new laws to force it to collect the good and services tax on transactions
From July 1 when the new GST regulations begin, Australian consumers shopping on Amazon international sites will be redirected to the local Australian site
In a statement issued to the ABC, Amazon said it regretted the move and the inconvenience to customers accustomed to visiting Amazon's global online stores
"We have had to assess the workability of the legislation as a global business with multiple international sites," a spokeswoman said
Under the new GST collection laws beginning on July 1, online retailers like Amazon will be forced to apply the 10 per cent GST to goods purchased on international sites and shipped to Australia
The GST collection requirement came after years of intense lobbying from local retailers in Australia such as Harvey Norman, Myer, JB Hi-Fi and David Jones, who have seen their traditional bricks and mortar sales suffer from online competitors

Kennen sich schon länger: Viola & Michi neues BiP-Traumpaar? - Duration: 2:45.
Neue Liebeschance für Viola Kraus (27)? In der heutigen Episode von Bachelor in Paradise musste die ehemalige Der Bachelor-Teilnehmerin eine herbe Abfuhr erdulden
Nach einem weiteren romantischen Date mit Sebastian Fobe (32) wird dem Ex-Bachelorette-Star alles zu viel und er distanziert sich von der Beauty
Doch sie bleibt nicht lange allein. Neuzugang Michael Bauer (27) lädt Viola direkt zum Dinner ein
Tatsächlich kennen und mögen die beiden sich sogar schon länger. Könnten sie also das neue Traumpaar im Paradies werden? "Michi und ich kennen uns
Wir haben uns kennengelernt auf einer Misswahl. Also wenn man so tiefe Augenblicke hat, ist da schon so ein bisschen Kribbeln – zumindest auf meiner Seite", stellt Viola in der Sendung schnell klar
Zudem flirtet sie während ihrer Verabredung heftig mit dem 27-Jährigen. Auch er hat einiges aus der gemeinsamen Vergangenheit zu berichten: "Danach haben wir uns auch ein paar Mal getroffen, aber weitergegangen ist es nie
" Gefallen hat Viola jedenfalls auch in Thailand an Michi gefunden und das bleibt nicht unentdeckt von dem Single: "Ich seh schon, dass sie mich ein bisschen verknallt anguckt
Und ich glaube schon, dass bei ihr da ein bisschen mehr da ist." Trotzdem sorge er sich um die bestehende Freundschaft, die er gefährdet sieht, sollten sie sich näher kommen
Noch ist also alles offen. Alle Infos zu 'Bachelor in Paradise' im Special bei RTL
