Okay then, just for old times' sake - let's try it once more. I assume you're referring to this mangled question:

The question was simple enough, why is it the prison population of whites and asians are the same, yet blacks are 6x higher, he just blames it on racist whitey.

Ah, so this is the question now - well, make your mind up, and get the facts right too. The prison population of white and asians is not the same: the former is massively larger than the latter. You should be talking about the prisoner numbers as a percentage of the total population. But anyway, let's move on to "he just blames it on racist whitey." Where? Where exactly did I use the exact words "the 5.6x times difference between the white and black prisoner percentage figures is due to white racism[/i]? Previous to my comment in this post, I've not made a commitment one way or another, and even now I only believe that part of the difference is due to racism.

Edit 2:

Does all this tension from you Brits have anything to do with that little tea party we threw several years ago?

If so, I am sorry. Happy Independence Day anyways.

Hey, if you don't us blaming you for it all, then I'm game! The real issue is that thegecko's a chav in denial and I'm just having immense smug fun making random comments at him.
