Well I completely missed your point then. As I said before, it's not exactly easy to understand what you are saying as your thoughts are poorly organized.

I don't feel the same way. Though that would have as much merit as dissing your posts and propping my own.

Why don't you educate yourself and look for the information rather than asking me to throw it at you. It isn't my place to educate you. Quit being stupid.

I'd love to see you in an actual debate. It'd be hilarious to see the following transpire:
"Bill Cosby actually said something that supports my argument and refutes yours."
"What'd he say?"
"You don't even know? You're stupid!"
"..."

Yes, I agree; however, I think that it is quite evident that there is a crisis among the black community. It is more prevalent than other cultures. Also, I think it's quite ironic how you bash me earlier for making a comparison between ethnic groups, yet you are doing the same thing here. Well done.

You were asking me to look at another group of people and regard their situation as far worse as if it alleviates the issue at hand. It doesn't establish any sort of point at all. What were you trying to say? "The Native Americans are committing mass murder?" If you were, there aren't as many Native Americans as Blacks. No, really, what was your point? My comparison had merit, yours was a straw man.

Did I say the rap music was the exact cause? No, I only said it contributes to the problem. LEARN TO READ!

I'm saying it doesn't contribute, genius. Specifically because it isn't proven conclusively.
Quote:
Of course there is a reason. Tell me how my reasoning is flawed.
|
I have been.
Quote:
I see nothing wrong with my reasoning.
|
That's not saying a lot.
Quote:
You are misinterpreting everything I say, and I suggest you slow down and read.

Refuting. Re-fut-ing.
Quote:
I never said rap was the only reason.
|
Wasn't what I was calling you out on.
Quote:
I said it is a possibility that it contributes to the problem, considering that's what gangsta rap music is all about, and it's such an issue in the black community. To blame everything exclusively on rap music would be idiocy. Again, quit putting words in my mouth.
|
You could do that or... you could not blame it at all? There's an idea.
Quote:
And other races don't? That's the point I was trying to make by relating them to Native Americans. By your logic, women should be equally compensated for dealing with the same "old prejudices" which have existed for thousands of years. Quit grasping for straws.

About that whole putting words in someone's mouth. There's plenty of racism for all, but blacks are the issue at hand here. Don't get mad at me for sticking to the issue. "It happens to other races, too!" doesn't work because we're not talking about other races, are we? You want to draw comparisons, but you suck at making any comparison that isn't, at best, a distraction.
Those other races have other cultural and historical differences and have responded differently, they've all faced and adapted to these things at varying degrees. You want to go down that road? Be my guest. The way things are going I'll ignore and/or disagree with you every step of the way.

Ah, the old bigot retort. If I am a racist, does that make Bill Cosby a racist? You know nothing about me so don't even go there. There is an issue in the black community today, according to the statistics I have presented. You are in denial and do a good job at shunning the truth. I never said murder rates were high only because of blacks. Show me where I said that, you will be unsuccessful. Just because my first few posts on the subject were ill-explained isn't an excuse to tell me that I am a racist. I do not believe blacks are solely to blame for the high murder rates; however, I do believe they are a contributing factor.
|
It's the perception I have of you based off what you're talking about. And, it looks like I'm right. By the way, Bill Cosby? That's self-hatred or disappointment, not racism. Big difference!
Quote:
The statistics cannot be ignored, quit being a coward and admit it.
|
Ah, those non-existent ones for media influence. Right, sure.
Quote:
Which is precisely why I said it may be a contributing factor and it is concerning. I said, "maybe", keyword there. Again, learn to read. As I have said before, I am not the only person who believes this way, and I linked you to an article where Bill Cosby feels the same way.
|
And when I retorted, you began treating it as if it were a bit more than "maybe." You fucking fail, man.
Quote:
Obviously, you just suck at interpreting what I say.

Prove it.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
