- I don’t think I have all the answers. I did not suggest so. Calling out false methodology to an argument that was obviously given with ill intent is not elitist or intellectual hubris on my part. It’s demanding accountability. When you publish incorrect or misleading things falsely couched in science and/or mathematical methodology you open yourself to scrutiny and accountability.
- If you’re going to claim a right to remain ignorant and sneer down your nose at the very maths you used incorrectly, you shouldn’t use the tools of the educated. It’s dangerous. You should prepare yourself to be thoroughly rebuffed and discredited. That’s what happened here.
- Focus is not an act of ignoring an issue or ignorance. It’s just focus. I do not view Biden and Harris as saviors to the black race or any of us, but my comment was not focused on them. Dragging them into the equation is just your lazy attempt to obfuscate the point at hand and shift accountability away from your words.
- I read several of your articles after I published my comment last night. It’s clear you’re not stupid. But you are ignorant and a very passive emotional thinker. That tendency is blinding you to critical thinking; it deserves a call out. Your thinking has become rigid and cemented in false narratives.
- What you’ve done here is look for loose data that seemingly supports a position you already hold because on an emotional level it makes you more comfortable rather than doing the work of closely scrutinizing data and letting it tell the story it’s going to tell regardless of how you feel about it.
- Fear based thinking is not really thinking at all. It harms both yourself and others.
- In this day and age, with the wide availability of resources, ignorance regardless of one’s childhood education is a choice. Learning and responsibility to learn does not end with the end of childhood. It’s your choice whether you remain ignorant or not. But be prepared for the consequences if that is your choice.
