White Ignorance at the Core of Racial Tensions

I know a couple of doctors and a dentist, but no lawyers.

Otherwise, they have pretty average careers.

No, different from blacks around here.

If the blacks had just had some liberals to help them they may have made it all the way to the nearest slum.

WTF are you talking about? The objective is to provide a little empirical evidence that might convince some casual observer that the information you share provides something besides proof that youre a babbling fool.

I think you identify more with the Detroit bunch, have more in common.

I talked to the man whose son is a lawyer this morning , first time I have seen him in a while. And no, that is not common. I don't know any white people whose kids are lawyers.

And, as far as hurting my feelings, good luck in the contest.

Don't forget, you are a moron.

Hehehe, so you've really got nuthin' at all. I might've known.

ZJ, among the things you think you know, but you don't, is the meaning of 'anecdotal.'

Really? How strange I have a cousin who is not only a lawyer but he only recently retired as Chief Justice of one of Canada's Provincial Supreme Courts.

Why don't you Google Earth or whatever you use 7682 Caber Rd. Browns Summit NC and see if that is a black man's anecdotal house.

If that one is anecdotal you can go west on Hwy 150 to the first house on the left past Doggett Rd. and see if that black man's house is anecdotal.


Compounds might be more appropriate since they also own the guest houses, barns, and shops.

BTW, the Caber Rd. guy built on the remains of the shack he grew up in.

He owns an office supply distribution company.

Makes how things went in your case so much more obvious.

Talk about willful ignorance. If I say you don't know what anecdotal means, shouldn't you look it up, just to be safe?

It doesn't just mean you made up your example, though sometimes people do. It means you are endowing personal examples with too-broad significance. Your knowledge of a tiny sample does not tell us what is true of the population in general.

You mean to tell us that one swallow doth not a summer make? Who knew.
