Lottery accused of 'systemic racism' after massive Powerball payout

So, a game that is based completely on random number is racist.... When are lefties going to stop using the race card?

 

I read somewhere that "math is racist". So maybe it's something to do with that? I can't explain it.

 

Its a voluntary tax for people that are bad at math. I remember when they were pushing the lottery saying that it would provide more funding for schools.

 

I'll once again ask my liberal friends on this a board a question that I've asked many times: Name something that isn't racist and never will be.

 

Me

 

You're not a thing, you're a human. That aside... If you are a white person then yes, you are racist according to leftests. If you're a minority then you are correct as according to the left minorities cannot ever be racist.

 

The planet Jupiter. Not aware of anything racist about it

Oh wait Ju--piter. Crap - it's antisemitic

Never mind

 

Its all in how you play. Buying one ticket increases you're chances infinitely (from 0 to greater than 0), but buying more than one ticket increases your chances by an immeasurably small amount (from tiny to still tiny). But then again, I doubt anyone is stuck in poverty from spending a dollar a week on the lottery...

 

I am black Filipino. I can't be racist apparently. So neener neener. And aren't people things?

 

Lucky you!

And no, people aren't things. Things are inanimate.

 

If you play Lotto you might as well put your money in envelope and mail it to your state capital as a donation.

Anyone that doesn't understand the odds are overwhelmingly stacked against you is horrible at simple math

 

so what do they want to do, ban black people from playing the lottery? charge them higher prices for tickets?

 

Idiot on both sides that believe big lies

 

So are many people (gasp)

 

Me and my dog!

 

That story is missing something. It isn't complete, but considering the source is Faux News, it makes perfect sense why it triggers some.

 

This reminds me... I have met a racist dog. Some black person did something to the dog and now she always growls at all black people. She is racist. The owner is very embarassed about it.

 

That is absolutely stupid. You have a choice, a lump sum cash payout or equal payments of 25 annually. It was worth an estimated $2.2 billion with would mean about 65% to 70% would go directly to the recipient or recipients in a lump sum.

 

Nope, sorry.

 

Well, that could also be said at any sit in poker, blackjack, craps, and any other gambling game. The House always wins.

 

That would be why gambling is foolish. "You" might want a little $20 scratch off ticket today but you probably pissed away $50 that week chasing after it.

About the only thing more foolish than gambling is trying to call gambling somehow racist

 

Ahh yes, mathematics is racist. Not many people know this, but Pythagoras only wanted to know his theorem to create triangular chains for his black slaves in a more efficient manner.

Of course lotteries market in low income areas. Nobody in the wealthy areas is dumb enough to buy one.

 

How about instead of using your racist suggestion we instead start calling out these stupid people that are calling everything imaginable racist? Stop condoning it by making obvious attempts at deflection by trying to portray people that do call it out as racist? ....you know...like you just did.

 

I am asking the racist that said that, I am not saying that, learn to read....

it's like the idiots that want to ban menthol cigarettes cause they say more black people smoke them

 

A supernova.

(But only before it forms a black hole).
