1. Don't worry about it's application, just tell me whether or not its true. Your qualification indicates that you're not refuting that the exodus began then. Do I read you wrong on that?
2. No, I just refuse to act like the past had no bearing on the present. I KNOW you don't believe that the past has no bearing on the present. That's not true with anything, why in the world would it be true here. This feels like you're responding to some conclusion I haven't made yet.
3. I'll be glad to tell you where the numbers come from. You'll forgive my hesitancy as the source isn't WND, Brietbard, or FoxNews. OUR culture now calls anything that rubs us the wrong way, fake news. Don't worry about the conclusions they draw, if you claim the numbers are inaccurate, you must know the accurate numbers. I'm happy to be corrected or educated on what actually went down.
4. Your propagating a false dichotomy. The people running and attending Grambling can be a problem AND the past can be a problem. If you don't think discriminated cultures were struggling prior to 1967, all I can say is that your estimation is at odds with facts.
5. How can you not acknowledge that centuries of slavery have negative impacts that last at least 1/3 as long as the enslavement. Are you SERIOUSLY going to make that claim?
Clearly education has your dander up, but the timeline and the numbers speak for themselves. Deny the correlation if you wish, but the implications are obvious. Surely you can acknowledge that, as a whole, the African American community has had some serious disadvantages over their history. Do you deny that?
