Does he have a book out or something? I've been seeing him around a lot lately.

But 57 is higher than 46?

I was thinking he meant 17 vs. 16,
but your reading does seem more comprehensive.

Graphs without exhaustive categories, argh!

Well, saying there is some discrimination against black people doesn't seem like denying racism to me...

True. I think this was mostly fun
for it's odd comparison with the belief
in ghosts, and to my mind, Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar sells it.

Reminds me of a video clip I saw once, about a guy in South America who didn't believe in electricity. He climbed a power pole and touched a transformer- and was lucky to have survived.

But what if he never did that?

Oh, man, did they post it on YouTube? ;)

I looked. Couldn't find it. It was pretty bad though.

My point, of course, was since white people don't experience racism they tend not to believe it is still a thing, especially since not all of it is as overt as dudes in white hoods burning crosses
