Forgive me Takeda, but that is a bit of a double standard - don't you think?
You stated that a conclusion drawn from an inferrence drawn from another inferrence is somehow laudable - when the results state that "whites" - aka non-blacks - are racist.
Yet when I show a clear, logical line from the researcher to the administration and a proposed purpose behind the results presented - I somehow am doing " a lot of mental gymnastics"?
Fact: Obama's poll numbers are continuing to decline.
Fact: Many Democratic pundits are openly critical of his campaign and his chances of winning.
Fact: "Research" claiming that a significant portion of "white" America is racist is released by a left leaning researcher with a connection to Team Obama.
Fact: Such "research" is then publicly held up by multiple left leaning media outlets.
Conclusion????
Draw your own - I did and stand by mine. At the least, my conclusion is supported by a lot more fact and a lot less "mental gymnastics" than the conclusions presented in the research paper by Seth Stevens-Davidowitz.
