White's make up roughly 63% of the US population, and males make up the overwhelming majority of fans of the NFL. What do you expect? Also, why does it matter?

And you'd be right, but then you got into the idea of consensus, then took it a step further, assigning an implied belief structure to that group, and spoke to it pejoratively. I'm not going to let you run from this. Let's talk about precisely what you were getting at here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I poked fun at the mostly white guys that post here playing the popular cowboy video game on a Friday night. The board melted down because my remark was so pejorative and painful. If you want to ascribe that I hate white folks like some people here want to, please lay out your evidence. Unless you think the video game jibe was hate speech. If you do, we won't make much progress. Edited November 19, 2018 by BeginnersMind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, I'll help you: "This is the kind of consensus we need in politics." Speak to that. I said the board was mostly white and right-leaning. Someone said something like that the board was white and common sense. I noted that we both agreed the board was mostly white and praised our ability to find common ground in spite of our disagreement over the difference of "right-leaning" vs "common sense." Isn't this a spectacular discussion? Are you one of those who are eager to find the source of the people who fund my posts here? Even my overlords are bored by this. But I am getting rich by it.

Does that include Republican gerrymandering? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
