Maybe the biggest racists today are frickin' idiots.
I despise racism with every fiber of my being (sorry, Dad, but that was one part of you I did not love), and I am slow to attribute it to being low on the IQ scale.

(38,437 posts)... between your response to me and that of BootinUp? I mean other than the 21 hour delay and the fact that BootinUp was not acting like a childish jackass.
It's a rhetorical question, and your opinion is meaningless to me, so I'll answer it for you.
Nothing. Well, except the fact the BootinUp actually made a rational observation using statistical vernacular and you were screaming in all caps.
So, I guess what I'm saying is this: You were late for the party, you added nothing, and you behaved like a toddler demanding attention NOW!!!!!1111one Congrats.

(153,138 posts)do you understand than an anecdote does not meet the evidence required for a theory to be casually dismissed??? Try not doing that - it sounds VERY idiotic.

(38,437 posts)1) My mention of my father.
2) BootinUp pointing out the possibility of that my dad was an outlier.
3) And me conceding the point to BootinUp.
Nearly a day later, you come blasting in, screaming and demanding attention for a point that was already settled. You should feel small and humbled by such a silly display.
Please -- have the last word. I am not longer responding to you on this subject.
