So if a student wants to go to stanford for computer science but is not competitive for admissions, they “suffer” because other kids who are better qualified are getting in and they are not? That’s fucking stupid.

We can have the discussion without recourse to stupid accusations of racism, but as long as you’re determined to make this fallacious accusation any time someone disagrees with your preferred adverse impacts, you’re going to get called dumb over and over.

The lottery system is intended to have a racial impact. They’re not doing it to dumb down the school. They are doing it to achieve racial goals and they are adversely impacting a politically weak minority to do it. I can outright declare that is racist. Things that help blacks can be racist too.

And what do you mean “so-called” merit based? Is the shsat racist? Because noone pushing for the elimination of the shsat claims that the test itself is racist.

And yet accusations of racism against me are not fallacious or dumb. This is your tribalism talking.

Lets compare the arguments for iiandyiiii racism versus my racism in that thread. The attitude seems to be that if there is some way to explain away racism from members of your tribe, then its stupid to call out that racism. But if there is any way you can characterize my posts as racist then my racism is so obvious that the argument doesn’t even have to be made.

What do you think is the basis for calling me a racist?

Do you even have any black relatives? If you do, how would i know that if you weren’t using them as rhetorical human shields? You are pretty low human scum using your relative’s skin color to bolster your arguments on the internet.

As reports and researchers noted, there is a connection with guys that are now using “woke” as an insult: they are usually guys that do seek to be seen as victims. And that is on top of using the word as a slur despite many blacks reporting too that the insulting way the word is used now becomes racist when it is used to mock minorities that used that word with the right context. As in actually being the ones denouncing injustice.

This really fits with the racists from the right-wing that use the Orwellian mantra that it is “the liberals are the ones that are the real racists.” Seeing how those conservative racists continue to defend things like confederate monuments or take part in insurrections against the government, it is a continuation of the lying mantra that includes things similar to declaring that slavery was/is freedom.

Remember that time that damuriajashi admitted to a life-long crack addiction? It was in that one thread one time. I’m not going to cite anything because we don’t have to do that now.

Unlike that, the clear projection observed in this thread alone confirms that DA humps wolves. 🙂

What I find humorous is that the more Dumbass protests in this thread, the more persistently the message is displayed that he is a “[d]isingenuous racist/bigoted poster.”

Keep digging.

@DemonTree should be outraged.

From that article:

> Since 2016, Mayor Bill de Blasio has pushed for an expansion to the admissions requirements for the eight specialized schools that rely solely on the test, and last year, he proposed eliminating the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) entirely in exchange for moving to admit the top 7 percent of students from across the city instead.

That test should just be called the SHAT.

I thought you had no idea who I am?

So either you do know who I am, or you’ve _already_ dug up the thread, realized it obviously doesn’t say what you thought it did, and are looking for an excuse not to cite it.

Either way, you’re clearly a fucking liar.

My “reasonable argument” is that you’ve posted racist things. Here. In this thread. Like I told you at the time. Your faulty memory is not my problem.

It would be pretty easy to say you don’t have any black relatives. But I guess it sucks to realize that you have been using your in laws as props in an online debate. Kind of scummy if you ask me but YMMV.

Wow, I stand corrected. Charles Barron thinks that a test that has been vetted by psychometricians for racism is still in fact racist.

Do you agree with him?

I have not vetted it, so I am comfortable reserving judgment on the topic.

I will, however, judge you, for _yet again_ making a claim without any concern as to whether your claim is supported by evidence. Even in a thread making fun of your for doing so, you persist in doing so. It says a lot about whether you even understand how to evaluate claims.

The proposal was actually the top 7% of each middle school. Many middle schools in NYC don’t have 7% of their students at grade level proficiency in math and english. These are all attempts to move the goalposts to change the racial profile of the school rather than provide good educations to children of all races.
