my problem is you are calling him names, disregarding his points

2021-01-15 14:46:11 UTC  

Once again, I never called him names.

2021-01-15 14:46:14 UTC  

you are not wrong

2021-01-15 14:46:17 UTC  

It's not actually. I can find some stats that back up what I'm saying if you want

2021-01-15 14:46:34 UTC  

I’m sure you can find all the cherrypicked out of context numbers you want

2021-01-15 14:46:37 UTC  

There are plenty

2021-01-15 14:46:40 UTC  

See that means you disregard folks who are qualified for the program for who aren’t based on their skin colour, that’s systematic racism and hypocritical to the objective you’re trying to achieve

2021-01-15 14:46:49 UTC  

But you are ignoring my points

2021-01-15 14:46:57 UTC  

The whole body of statistical knowledge is not very flattering to the point you are trying to make though

2021-01-15 14:47:04 UTC  

What

2021-01-15 14:47:14 UTC  

Well, hell. Welcome to America. lol

2021-01-15 14:47:20 UTC  

I couldn't care less that's just how the data presents itself

2021-01-15 14:47:29 UTC  

Statistics really are the lowest form of evidence

2021-01-15 14:47:33 UTC  

If you take a wholistic approach to statistical analysis you will have stronger arguments

2021-01-15 14:47:34 UTC  

How?

2021-01-15 14:47:47 UTC  

If you take a cherry-picking approach then they will be built upon a house of cards

2021-01-15 14:47:56 UTC  

they call that the texas shapshooter apparently... that is when you cherry pick data to suit your argument or find a pattern to fit a presumption

2021-01-15 14:47:57 UTC  

How am I cherry picking?

2021-01-15 14:47:57 UTC  

That’s the way the cookie crumbles bro

2021-01-15 14:47:57 UTC  

They’re some of the easiest data to manipulate

2021-01-15 14:48:26 UTC  

And that is why I ignore his "points." But again, I never called him names. lol

2021-01-15 14:48:35 UTC  

It’s very easy to find or make statistics that back up any claim you care to make

2021-01-15 14:48:37 UTC  

I haven’t called you names either

2021-01-15 14:48:42 UTC  

Simply having a discussion

2021-01-15 14:48:46 UTC  

lol

2021-01-15 14:49:01 UTC  

I find it funny how the country that has the most immigrations is called systematically racist and is derided for shit

2021-01-15 14:49:01 UTC  

To be clear, your point in bringing this up is probably trying to prove that stats regarding blacks net worth, high school graduation, college attendence, etc are manipulated because...

2021-01-15 14:49:14 UTC  

The moment where we can no longer have civil discourse is the moment our country is doomed

2021-01-15 14:49:17 UTC  

Explain to me how any of my points are built on a house if cards

2021-01-15 14:49:22 UTC  

It is our civic duty to keep it alive

2021-01-15 14:49:26 UTC  

Agreed

2021-01-15 14:49:30 UTC  

@The Briteeeeeeesh! most African Americans don’t graduate from prestigious schools because they didn’t deserve to go there in the first place

2021-01-15 14:49:40 UTC  

I wouldn't argue with @Sentinel Creed , he can literally make a leftie disagree with themselves

2021-01-15 14:49:41 UTC  

Tbh I have no clue what the argument is, I just don’t like people who rely solely on statistics as evidence

2021-01-15 14:49:46 UTC  

I didn't say that either. lol

2021-01-15 14:49:46 UTC  

As in they were chosen for ethnicity and not their marks

2021-01-15 14:49:59 UTC  

And it comes back to the whole point that they could’ve performed much better in different schools

2021-01-15 14:50:05 UTC  

And said stats would be much different

2021-01-15 14:50:05 UTC  

I pride myself on it @Dante 😉

2021-01-15 14:50:05 UTC  

If you charge at a police officer with a knife, the outcome is going to be the same regardless of your skin color. That's not systemic racism

2021-01-15 14:50:16 UTC  

What other evidence is there that is as unbiased as numbers
