My position was that I am not adversely affected by the media.

Whites are killed at three times the rate of Blacks, but Blacks are a sixth of the population. So Blacks are killed at twice the rate of Whites when you factor in the relative sizes of their populations. The following is from the Washington Post which has been keeping a database of police shootings since 2015. Black Americans are killed at a much higher rate than White Americans Although half of the people shot and killed by police are White, Black Americans are shot at a disproportionate rate. They account for less than 13 percent of the U.S. population, but are killed by police at more than twice the rate of White Americans. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/

I said a similar thing to you but you said I was being delusional.

He got tired of trying to see another point of view.

Not for Pioneer

I have discussions to exchange ideas.I am not trying to convince or convert

Look up the definition of logic. In order to properly discuss something you have to agree on terms and definitions. You don't really have to agree but if you define your terms your assumptions, then state your conclusion. Then we can discuss whether your reasoning is logical.

When I was a preteen. I used to do logic puzzles. The structure is as follows. You make a statement, then your assumptions. Then your conclusion. So if you follow the assumptions to heir logical conclusion your statement is logically true but it maybe false overall. Men are taller than women. Serena is taller than me so she must be a man. Logically that statement is true. And it is verifiable, but it is also false. So in arguments if the assumptions are not always true or the reasoning is faulty, the conclusion will be wrong. I personally don't feel there are facts that you are easily verifiable, however that argument is about he scientific method which I am not prepared to either argue or discuss.

Whatever you can think of can be said to exist even if it's only in your mind. So for some children and even some adults Santa Claus existed. However it is not a fact it is an opinion. Since facts are subject to falsification, whereas opinions are not. Due to them not being factual even if they are based on facts. There's a difference between a theory a theorem and a hypothesis. Although I could be mistaken.

Racism is bad business. Ask any Prostitute being a racist is bad for business. White people were safe going to Harlem to buy drugs. I think one of the Kennedy's overdosed in Harlem in the 70's

No yours works fine.

Constructs are ways of understanding the world. The construct of race should be abandoned because it is destructive and equality and fairness should be applied.

Since it is filtered through your personal experience I consider that as being personal. I should have said physical instead of active.

I guess for me I feel more engaged creating the experience then reading about it.
