It's a yes or no question, not one that requires any metacommentary about your english[sic] usage.
Quote:Again, you've got the idea of divisiveness entirely backwards in exactly the way that alt right nutjobs have been propagandizing it.True or false? The PC Left identifies groups which are victimized, and those which are victimizers, and seeks to protect one group from the other?
Quote:IQ scores, SAT scores, and income are all facts, and their correlation is well-known. I gathered those facts, presented them, and began a discussion of how best to proceed with the intent of drawing together that income gap.Quote:Again, you are conflating fact-gathering with intent. That some people use certain facts to support bad intent doesn't mean the facts should be avoided, or that they don't matter.You gathered no facts. You gathered a bunch of white supremacist nonsense and then bullshitted me and yourself about it for pages. America -is- in deep trouble on this one...hey..guess how we got here..............
You are also conflating moral equivalency with equivalency of outcome. All people deserve equal opportunity, equal privileges and equal responsibility. This is crucial in a multi-cultural society-- if there are little black geniuses who will never be discovered because of lack of opportunity to develop and demonstrate those gifts, then America's in deep fucking trouble-- because China, being more homogeneous, will have no problem at all in identifying future greats and bringing them to their points of greatest contribution.
Dude, when actual facts are "white supremacist nonsense," then you are refusing to see the world through glasses tinged with your idealistic world view. This does not, however, help anyone-- it just serves as another impediment against getting at the underlying problems and finding ways to minimize them or to turn them around.
