That's nothing that raising the minimum wage won't fix... quit talking about race! :roll: This is sarcastic in tone... to be clear.

Mental correlations drawn between different things. But that's another topic in it's entirety, and I'm unprepared to add anything more to this one. Se...

We seem to be in the minority. :wink:

I'm having a bit of trouble here understanding what "the truth" and "the truth besides the truth" are doing here. They could be left out completely, o...

I've been accused of much, but that one does not happen very often at all. Perhaps after reading through page seven and eight to get a feel for what w...

Page seven and eight Harry. seems to understand those words just fine. His defense here is a nice surprise. I'll discuss with you whatever you like so...

Why do we grant the dichotomy to begin with? Are those the only two types of reasoning, and are they mutually exclusive?

The symptom of much deeper problems... after he's treated(and hopefully eradicated by anti-viral meds) the problems will remain. Those attempting to b...

Are there parallels between the sock story of two methods and top-down vs. bottom-up methods of reasoning? That's the 'sense' I had from the very begi...

I was thinking that method 2 could be a result of figuring out that method 1 had unsatisfactory results; an adjustment based upon findings.

Trial and error...

Living with certain health issues is still living. Clearly those alone were not enough to kill the people. When such people contract Covid19 and die, ...

Take a bit of time and careful attention, if you want to learn about the argument I find most convincing against the God of Abraham, and look at Epicu...

Nodding...

Brilliant. If I use stats, I'm cherry picking. If I do not use stats, my position is not well grounded.

That which has an effect/affect.

This is a good question. There is no adequate, simple, universally true answer that comes to my mind aside from personal experience. Given the matter ...

Could you expand upon this?

I've only been directly personally involved and/or engaged in politics with those elected for doing so at the county level during a gubernatorial camp...

Without ever having invoked or used stats... Weird sense of "cherry picking".

I am still wrapping my head around that and the post I pulled it from....

:up: This 'race traitor' notion underwrites some of the vigilante paramilitary motivations against peaceful white protestors. Earlier I briefly touche...

Looks like incoherence and/or self contradiction that can only be overcome by invoking some para-consistent logic, denying bivalence, or excluded midd...

On page seven I offered an argument that now seems quite relevant. Could you please revisit and directly address that argument in it's entirety upon y...

Indeed, but the exceptions are too few and far between to worry about.

Compare to... The benefit of being white in America is the immunity and/or exemption from being injured because one is not white Not the same. Bugger ...

Evidently we work from different criterions for what exactly counts as nonsense. That sentence is perfectly fine. If you think otherwise, then more po...

:up:

I accept, appreciate, and value this. Now I do not 'feel' that it was all for naught. I'm glad I could help you to better understand what some people(...

Mea culpa. Add "white" on the end. Interesting that you arrived at all these possible translations without ever hitting on that one! If you've been re...

Can't say that I blame you. Weird like me. I used to abhor politics. I thought that all politicians lie and will say whatever they need to say to get ...

To be clear:My publicly expressed considerations in this thread are not exhaustive of my overall consideration(s) regarding American racism and it's m...

What's unclear about that?

...

Not at all... Talking about white privilege opens the door for otherwise unknowing and/or unaware(but perfectly capable) white people to much better u...

I missed this. Would have rather spent my time on this than what I have today. :smile: That's a very good question. I appreciate the attention it took...

How many times does it need to be said before you understand? The benefit of being white in America is the immunity and/or exemption from being injure...

You do realize that one can know the biological shortcomings of race as a purported biological category, yet still proceed to meaningfully categorize ...

I didn't take that personally. Why would I? In fact, it is by virtue of knowing that I am not racist, in addition to knowing that there are many histo...

Again... For the umpteenth time, do yourself a favor and at least get it right to start with before you begin critiquing it. Perhaps then you'll be ab...

Sorry it took a while. I wanted to reply earlier, but it slipped my mind... I would readily agree that complicity and collaboration are certainly diff...

Prior to proper(valid) critique comes understanding that which is being critiqued. Thus far, you have not even managed to get the basics of my positio...

No. I have not. As I said... refusal to pay careful attention to what has been written.

It's not about me. It's about the reductio ad absurdum that your criterion inevitably leads to. If we grant your definition/conception/criterion/notio...

I've already answered that question as well... again, on page seven(I think). Perhaps eight...

So, it seems that we've reached a point were we can all clearly see what some of the underlying problems are here with the objections to white privile...

My argument was given back on page seven, I think. I've given several since. I do not believe you. Use my words, and I'll gladly respond in kind.

This is so common... Funny thing... All my black friends, family members and loved ones throughout my entire life have called themselves "black". "Afr...

I simply showed the inherent inadequacy of the notion you're working from, as it was stated... verbatim...
