While I initially agreed with the assessment of “Stupid”, LAZombie has doubled down on both the racism AND the stupidity.

First, the racism. Since we are all being critical of the research paper he linked, LAZombie decided to find a source we would be forced to accept – clearly, since we are all racist against whites, he will need to produce a black citation.

Note that last line. Racist readings are climbing again!

But he ups the ante by doubling down on stupidity, too – because the very article he links disparages his original source, saying it has no basis in fact.
