    When you're so good at your job that you're paid millions of dollars to do it, chances are a little political protest isn't going to cost your job.

    Of many things as are we all.

    However, From our exchanges it is clear that you hold bigoted racial/ethnic beliefs. You have also implied "personal experience" as a basis for your hatreds.



    And sometimes its a cheroot.




    "alibis". I'm not surprised you don't think you are ignorant about your bigotries. Occam's razor indeed.

    I don't hate anyone.

    I think the problem here is that you are ignorant about racism. You have this cartoon image of racists whereas actual racists are among the nicest most tolerant people you could ask for.

    Sure, the hypothesis that Blacks are inferior explains their poor showing throughout history. Your alibis are all more complicated.

    So we prefer the simpler hypothesis.

    sure, I'm ignorant about racism. If I have a cartoon image of racists, yours is a delusional one.

    I completely understand your preference for simple minded hypotheses. They fit so nicely on bumperstickers and don't require much thought or knowledge.

    How many racists are your friends?


    The simplest explanation that fits all the facts is the one that Occam prefers. Take it up with him if it fails to satisfy you. Einstein discovered relativity that inertial and gravitational mass were the same. Quantum mechanics came from the realization that particles and waves where the same phenomenon

    Your problem is a dogmatic insistence on "racial equality" and all facts must be tortured to support this dogma.

    Desegregation affirmative action was enacted fifty years ago and educational inequality is completely intact. The simplest explanation is blacks just aren't smart enough. Your explanation is " microaggressions."

    All of my friends are bigots of one kind or another but none are racists. I hate racists.



    Gotta luv the obfuscation.

    You do like to pack at least two fallacies into every response.

    Racism is binary - either you are are you aren't. that's simple.

    Occam's razor merely states that the quickest way to an answer is to discard superfulous information and considerations.

    In this particular instance, you seem to think that no other social, economic or political factors need to be considered because blacks are simply genetically inferior. Not surprisingly I have come to expect this kind of intellectually dishonesty all racists as they attempt to justify their hatreds, fears and insecurities.
