Ok I am done, this isn't the site for me. Not hanging around for the "Blacks are what's wrong with America" thing. I've tried but it's always the same thing over and over. Enough is enough.

I don't know what you've been reading on this site, but this is the first racist post I've seen.
 
I'm trying to wrap my mind around this post coming from the man who was raised by a black woman. It seems as if you wish there were no black people in America

Assuming these are facts... I don't care enough to look tbh... can facts be racist? The tone of the email might be racist, the reason they're being used could be racist idk... But, facts are facts and stats are stats whether we like what they present to us or not.

I don't think it's racist to only put forth the data on one race. But I do think it would be interesting to see the data on others for comparison.

One of my textbooks in college was titled "How to Lie with Statistics." So, trust me, statistics are NOT facts! They're a way to convince people to believe what you want them to believe.

Here's a statistic you've probably heard -- Women who smoke should not go on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) for menopause, because they are three times more likely to get cancer.

It's true. It's also still less than a 1% chance of getting cancer. Statistics aren't facts. They're a way of marketing a belief.

I have no horse in this race and couldn't really care less, but that's why I said "assuming" they are facts lol. I don't know if they are or not; I didn't look it up. But I will say that not all stats are fabricated. That may be true in some cases, but there are legitimate statistics out there and they exist because there is a truth behind them.

Oh trust me, she was veiling nothing. I have known her for years, and every breath she takes seems to be to deride Democrats. And she is pretty right when she sees The BLM as solidly Democrat.

Actually, BLM is NOT Democrats. They aren't liberal. They were protesting the DNC when in town. What they are is anarchists.

Now I know Hillary is courting them, but everyone courts Native Americans too until after the elections. Then both sides go back to ignoring them. Kind of what the Republicans do with those who would vote only on the issue of pro-life. They'll get the vote, but it's not like anyone plans on changing anything after the elections.
 
Just for the sake of this discussion I will give a hypothetical statistic.... what if I said two out of three chefs prefer McCormick spices. What if I only ask Three Chefs?. What if two of those chefs own stock in McCormick?
 
Willie-T said:
I think that was that the average income would go up by $20,000. (a year, I guess) And that might be because of those left having to work a few more hours a week? I dunno. She does find some strange things to send us. LOL

Probably meaning the lower paying jobs would not be counted and higher paying jobs would then become more countable.....Raising average income by that amount.

Do you trust The American Cancer Society or the American Medical Association? It's their statistic. It's not fabricated. It serves a purpose.

Honestly Willie, that email is pretty racist. I'm not thrilled with everything I've seen from BLM, but lumping a whole race of people into one group like that isn't right. I know you didn't write the email, this is just my opinion.

Yup. This is supposed to be a "Christian" web site composed of adherents of the Prince of Peace who said to love everyone. But ever since I came into this forum, just about every political comment made by the majority of the right wingers here has been filled with hatred towards Democrats, liberals, and towards minorities.


WWJD ?
 
This post seems kind of petty to me... I guess you should have added the hot sauce and Newport sales would plummet

Hot sauce, malt liquor, menthol cigarettes. It would be mass pandemonium.

Right, because you have your blinders on to make sure that's all you see. Now... read the rest and learn.
 
Everyone should just come to my church, we have people from over
40 different nationalities, every colour and shade from pasty white to real black. Lol

Though due to summer sun, even the pasties are looking tanned at the moment.

See all those flags at the front, they represent the different nationalities.

That email seems fairly accurate as far as crime rates, prisons, gang affiliations, and poverty rates.
