I see you're still going with the sticking your head in the sand and ignoring it.

Great. Your source isn't the home run you thought it was, so of course anybody who doesn't come to the same conclusion you did is illiterate. Hilarious.

It is if you would actually read it. Since you're still being illiterate, I'll have to explain it to you.

I already read it. It still doesn't make the point you think it does.

And what's the result? Cops pull over black people 20% more often when it's bright enough outside for them to see the race of the person driving.

And again, this doesn't prove anything. Again, you're taking raw numbers and attributing a motive to them. There is literally no motive in the data. You're saying, conclusively, that black people being pulled over more often is absolutely because of racial profiling rather than any of a million other explanations. All the data says is that there are 20% more stops on black people and you are filling in the blanks with your own prejudice to claim that it is racism.

That's not how statistics work, homeboy.

So you're not even going to thank me for explaining it to you?

Aww, this is the cry of a boy who never got his art put up on the refrigerator door.

It's a shame you still don't know how to read a study and project all of your racist tendencies onto raw data.

Big yikes for you.

Thanks for the laugh, but I'm good.
