Like these guys?

Looting businesses on Lake St was an equal opportunity crime. We all tend to “see” what confirms our biases.

Show me the statistics.


Show me the numbers.


What are the statistics? Everybody loves stats - like MPD is x% "white" and white cops kill blacks and that is the whole story. Well what percentage of the looters were white? You pluck a few out. Does that mean, in your opinion, that most of the looters were white?


Wasn't it you who pointed out that for ever 100K arrest for violent crime, 4 whites are killed, and 3 blacks are killed?


So...where is this systemic oppression/killing of blacks by cops...that was the impetus for all the rioting?

All he had to say was “no, I am not a white supremacist. I believe all people, regardless of race/ethnicity/religion are created equal.” He won’t because this is not what he believes. You’ve read his posts. You know exactly what I’m getting at here.

It’s an asinine question and you know it.

As asinine as believing that the white race is superior to other races?

Comments like this ruin the board. If you can't bring a constructive argument, better to remain silent.

It’s as asinine as any other ideological purity question. It’s purpose is to create a perception about the person being questioned. You don’t like that poster’s ideas, and you know under the TOS you can’t come out and call him a white supremicist, so you try to taint him with the question. Frankly, McCarthyism is beneath you, or at least it should be.

It not an asinine question. It’s more an objective statement. If a poster is always making comments like: “you know how I feel about those people” it’s quite obvious to most.
