    I can see why you guys are in the dark ages.
    Not all White People were sick evil people in the 1960's who became less evil over time; they were good people in a sick system that became gradually less sick over time. Getting checked about racism is not an assault on your virtue, it's a reminder of the roles you play often without ever seeing them, understanding them or caring about them. Racism is not about you and it never was, and it doesn't help the discussion to take it that way and ignore that it still exist today.

    It's a tool science uses, but it's not science. Try again.

    Nothing in sociology is a science, matters. I'm sure they want to represent it as such, but it's not.


    And there's that silly 'lie' meme again when all you could possibly mean is you disagree but cannot articulate why.

    You confuse a news headline for what the prof actually says.

    You think polling is science? Then tell us what the null hypothesis is, assuming you know what that means.

    And there's that silly 'prove' meme when you've articulated no argument at all.

    Think you did, state your argument in syllogistic form. Logic, another tool of science.
