What the actual fuck? 1) Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information, try again. 2) This comment thread is bringing out all the racists on HN.

> I used the person's own source to display the cherry-picked nature of their data, try again.

Or you know, you could use a reliable source of information to counter their argument instead of using the same crap to try (and fail) to prove a point..


I empathize with being mad at this subthread, but, respectfully, I think you're aiming at the wrong guy. Because, rhetorically, "you aren't even supported by your own source" is pretty powerful.

Also keep in mind that troglodytes like the racist in the room exist to waste the time of decent people. Doing actual research to beat on them means that they win.


If this was a good faith argument, I would agree 100%. More likely, would be me finding a reliable source, then the original poster arguing about the reliability of that source and it going back and forth. This way, we can show them that their own (admittedly horrible) source disagrees with the assumption.


> such as lack of basic infrastructure related to health and education

Fight the welfare state and toss black moms into prison because they lied to send their kid to a better school (IIRC, 5 years. for lying about her address). Meanwhile rich white people are photoshopping their kids faces onto athletes.

Fund schools with property taxes. Oh look, those mcmansion filled suburbs have better schools.

Fight bussing (thanks Biden). Criticize the south for resisting integration while NY has the most segregated schools in the country.

Extol the virtues of the great charter schools and lottery systems, while the rest of the kids are stuck in shit.


==Criticize the south for resisting integration while NY has the most segregated schools in the country.==

Different actions can be criticized for different reasons. A quick google search shows that nobody is ignoring the segregation in NY schools [1]. In fact, how did you find out about it if it is being ignored?
