Description

Racist: showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another.

I will be using the reasons stated in my previous debate on this topic.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

But, again, if there were, and they voted for you, wouldn’t they still be biased?

-->
@Speedrace

There are literally no conservatives that vote on this site.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

And conservatives don’t?

-->
@Dr.Franklin

Well, why can't a black person work for a racist?

-->
@dustryder

That article does nothing. He is not racist. If he was, why would Ben Carson accept?

-->
@Dr.Franklin

The point of that particular article is to highlight a particularly common usage of the underlying fallacy. However the underlying fallacy stays the same and is applicable in this case.

"The underlying fallacy is that one single point of data, this one "friend," completely overrides any other bits of evidence we have to assess someone's views. This is simply not valid reasoning."

-->
@dustryder

That does nothing. It's not a friend, its appointing a serious member of Trumps cabin.

If Trump is racist, why would he hire a black person in his cabinet.(Ben Carson)

-->
@Speedrace

most liberals on this site that vote have inherent bias

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

Oh, so now all liberals are “dumb voter”s?

-->
@Speedrace

Everyone on this site that votes is liberal.

-->
@dustryder

Pinkfreud isnt my goto gy when it comes to voting critique.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

And is Ramshutu also a "dumb voter?" And if you're right, then why isn't everyone else on this website flocking to vote for you?

-->
@dustryder

Precisely!

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right
@Speedrace

I think a rematch on the same topic would've been interesting to see actually. In the sense of how you are both able to improve, develop and refine your arguments after receiving the feedback from Ramshutu and Pinkfreud from the previous debate

-->
@Speedrace

Pinkfreud is a dumb voter. Votes don't exactly prove who was right. Most of your points have nothing to do with race. The one who is closed-minded is the one who doesn't even research the meaning behind stuff.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

Yet I'm the one with all the votes, so who's close-minded now? If you win a debate on that subject then I'll switch to your side. How about that?

Boat was the instigator in Speed's previous debate on this topic, so it would probably just be a repeat or extension of the same points.

-->
@Alec

Speedrace has no logic whatsoever in most of his points, so I will pass. I don't debate with closed-minded people.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

Interested in debating this with speedrace?
