    You are really latching onto that. The point that I was trying to make earlier was that you don’t have the numbers to indicate the breakout of black people that agree versus disagree with the author’s sentiments. I don’t reasonably have that either. If a supermajority of black people like their broken ghetto culture, then I don’t believe that they have grounds to complain about their current conditions nor should they get any special treatment.

      Yeah, weird how I am latching on to your hypocrisy. I don’t care about your point when you won’t even acknowledge it.

            Because I said that they ought to do something whereas your said that they all believe a certain thing. They are not the same.

                  Uh-huh. Just like you “wager” than I’m Gen-Z even though it took you multiple comments to go from saying I definitely am Gen-Z to saying you “wager” it but that’s not actually a real wager.

                  You are one of the most dishonest people I’ve ever talked to. Along with being a racist.

                    You are correct that I doubled-down on you being Gen-Z because it would be easy for you to correct if I was wrong. No outside parties are needed, so I took the gamble. A gamble or wager does not need to involve money. Definition #2 of wager is “used to express certainty”. That’s all it means. Also, you can gamble anything including simply staking your current understanding of an issue to give it up if wrong. Your lack of worldly knowledge is part of why I think you are close to if not Gen-Z.

                    At the moment, I don’t feel dishonest, just gaslighted since you are trying to fish for ways to peg me as a hypocrite as a deflection, but it is a red herring in order to avoid the true issues.

                    How will race issues ever be resolved if anyone with good ideas of how to resolve them is dubbed a racist or a self-hater. You are using the “that’s racist” mantra in order to create a wall instead of a dialog.
