1. I'm not a universalist, but I do believe in the necessity and efficacy of speaking truthfully. Not THE truth. Just truthfully. It's also why humility is important. So you don't overestimate your own perception of the world (hint: I ALWAYS allow for the possibility that I'm wrong, but I make a decision and act, regardless).
2. You're an idiot if you think that one race is more susceptible to learned helplessness, poverty and drug abuse. The distinction did not come FROM their race. It came from the government who subsidizes their misery and uses its "assistance" to "teach" them that they're victims BY their race. It's no coincidence that you can clearly map correlation between which communities are subsidized by the government more and which suffer more by measurable metrics.
You can also see, if you look, where the white community is doing its best to catch up with fatherless homes and drug abuse. The only thing that they have going for them is they're in the country so no one gives a shit in the city when white people kill themselves in despair.
3. I didn't imply that you're racist. I explicitly said I disagreed with your idea. Just like I'm stating now that I disagree with you. Unless you care to explain to me how humanity's free will does NOT put the individual as the locus for decision making. I'll wait.
Oh, and I don't think you're racist (no, really). And you're not a race-a-phobe. You're just race averse, and selectively. Your feelings better, now?
4. Let me be more direct if Rip will allow it: stop being a cunt. If you want to challenge my position, do so. If you don't agree, that's fine. But stop putting fucking words in my mouth.
On another note, I attended my town hall meeting on an emergency ordinance to make people wear face masks. It failed 3-4, and instead they passed a resolution to nay nay everyone who didn't want to wear masks and encourage it. Which was absolutely 100% a political move so that they could be seen doing something without actually doing anything. It was also pretty awesome, because the only person who didn't fuck with, touch constantly, remove repeated, uncover their nose, and was "properly fit" and of a decent material had enough facial hair under it to make the whole thing a moot point. If I actually contract the WuFlu... it will be because I caught it there.
And speaking of... Charleston passed an emergency ordinance requiring face masks in the city that they could not enforce, and it even says they will not enforce it with the Police. They will use their new Not Police to un-oppressively strongly suggest and re-educate those within the sacred boundaries of their city to Do the Right Thing and Flatten the Curve (again... I guess? NO CURVES!). There's so many new cases in the state that DOZENS of beds may be needed for the hospitalizations and we'll have to pile the SEVERAL bodies in the streets again, maybe.
