    Just fucking stop the racism.

    It’s not my job to write your reality denying nonsense for you.

    If your one and only recourse is to call black people violent dogs, you’re the one whose logical thinking is broken.

    STOP with the racist crap.

      At no point in my reply did I mention race, I said the argument of “X is a minority, yet causes the majority of fatalities, therefore X is dangerous” is a bad argument. That is the whole of my point.

      Two possibilities exist: Either you think it’s a good argument argument, or you don’t.

      Which is it? Do you think the argument “X is a minority yet causes the majority of fatalities, therefore X is dangerous” is a good argument?

        I think you’re a closet racist who won’t give up comparing black people to violent dogs even when asked not to, and that you like to hide behind generalities.

        Three possibilities exist:

        1. that you accidentally made a racist argument comparing black UK citizens to violent dogs, and you didn’t realise, in which case on hearing that it might be offensive to compare black US citizens to violent dogs, you would obviously have realised, apologised and backtracked by now. These are the actions of someone who didn’t mean to offend.
        2. that you deliberately made a racist argument and you aren’t prepared to back down even when it’s pointed out to you. This is exactly how you’re behaving. For days now.

        I thought it was option 1 at first. It isn’t.

        The way you’re behaving reveals to me that it was your intent all along to make this false equivalence because you thought it was a cool own-the-libs arguing position. If that really isn’t you, I beg of you, take a step back and reconsider how you’re communicating.
