...and why does he need so many?

You’ve really got a point there, except... once she made that comment, I’d be out. It is odd that he kept talking to her for so long. I felt like he was kind of trolling her to see how awful a thing he could get her to say. Not a very nice impulse.

Maybe our time is up soon anyway.

This.

I hope she said who it was and they have to deal with some shit.

I teach comp and honestly, I think the pathos in this case is in the facts rather than the wording. It would be very odd to say something like “while it got dark out.”

Ok... then I don’t think I am followed and have these powers of which you speak! Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something crappy. :D Thank you!

I don’t know what greying trolls means. Is there somewhere I can read up on it?

No. Just stop. If they are ok being called that, fine, but it’s a slur that shouldn’t be used by someone who claims to agitate for equality.

I really want to like this but ‘retards.’

You gd right about that. Even worse when govt agencies interfere with the voting process!

Thank you! I don’t really know how starring works or how to ‘unstar’ something. I saw I had some weird -1 marks next to posts but I really don’t understand the implications. Some of my posts seem to have disappeared but I haven’t been blocked from posting or anything like that, as far as I know. And taking them down…

If no one remembers these awards, one hopes that might logically persuade people not to make such awards.

As I wrote in a post that seems to have disappeared, I have already said that you are clearly intelligent. I also said that I was not disparaging the Bureau of Labor Statistics because they organize data by a variety of demographic metrics, including race. Your decision to represent your ideas solely with their racial…

I didn’t accuse that organization of racism. I clarified this in my last post. I am genuinely sorry that you are angry. I wish you would at least consider the possibility that black people are not inferior to other ‘races’ and that maybe power structures can be flawed sometimes.

When they decide to rely only on race, we will indeed have a problem.

I do not think you are stupid. I’ve already said that you are clearly intelligent.

More facts: official definitions that I did not make up. Everything you say that involves ‘a group of people’ - which your choice of statistics specifically identifies as ‘black’ people - is based on the beliefs outlined below.

Those stats are based on the erroneous assumptions that a) grouping by ‘race’ is more significant than grouping by other metrics, and b) that all members of those ‘races’ came in on an equal footing with each other, and with the other ‘races.’

Thank you for your kind words. I think my time was not entirely wasted because I did learn from the discussion.
