That's an interesting interpretation of what I actually said:
Now, you can incorrectly ascertain from what I just said that I'm implying that you're a racist. Given your other positions, I can't believe that's true, but you open yourself up to misunderstanding when you use a term racists frequently use to attack those who expose them as racists.

It's not an assumption. It's a culmination of viewpoints he previously stated, among which:
it is true that young black men are the most criminally minded combination of sex,skin colour and age in the USA
In all this talk about blanket generalizations, this one stands out because of the obvious implication that black males are 'criminally-minded'. It ignores the reality of social and economic factors which are the catalyst for criminal behavior. It's a page right out of the white racist handbook. Lock your doors, there are criminally-minded young black males around.
Quote:Your entire foundation for believing that La Ban is a racist is shaky at best, and indicative of someone that is hyper sensitive to topics of race.
You should actually read the thread before you respond to it.
