"Why is racism in 1961 so impossible for you to believe??"

Why is a third-hand hearsay rumor adequate evidence? Dwight said he heard from a guy who said he heard from a guy who said Yeager said it. What's the chance of distortion/elaboration along that hearsay pathway?

OK, so he's a white guy in 1962, so third hand accusations of racism automatically are proof enough?

Can I presume that you are thereby implicitly conceding that there IS no other evidence that this was what Yeager had actually said?
