Meh, not so much, Ernie. Yanno the old saying....there are liars, goddamned liars and statisticians.
A bad survey can be worse than useless, and designing a good one is an art form.
Sure, you can cherry pick statistics and force them to prove a point, but when an author states that blacks are far more apt to be convicted of violent crime than whites, it's a fact. Facts have no motive or bias.
I get all pissed off at race pimps like Jackson and Sharpton and I will jump on any bandwagon that shows them in a negative light, but to call me racist because I resent them is ludicrous.
My resentment is that they pervert the message of Reverend King and stir up unrest. The unrest keeps racism alive, thus ensuring a place for the Sharptons and Jacksons.
