I'll help you out; as far as I can tell, pointing out statistical realities that explain why racism has nothing to do with, say, the black population in prison is where shit like that comes from on this board. Using data to explain why racism isn't a sufficient explanation for a phenomenon isn't racist, but according to a lot of the usual suspects on this board, it is. The leftists on this board aren't nearly as far-gone as a lot of the leftists out there, of course.

consider that how you say something often carries more weight than what you actually say.

So what I say isn't racist, but people are just erroneously perceiving it as racist because I might be disproving their claims in a mean way?

that's not what im saying.

if you post statistics showing incarceration rates of a certain race and then act gleeful about it, i can see why people would consider that racist.

im not saying that's what you've done, im trying to give an example of how context and attitude can affect the interpretation/reception of a statement. maybe people take issue with things like that?
