So you start off with calling me an arrogant fool, and questioning my intelligence, but then ask me to respond, apparently without bias and emotion, to your post?

How do I like what apples? And, no, I wouldn’t characterize your attack as ruthless. Pompous and high handed perhaps, but not ruthless.

Yes, everyone is biased. However, that completely obscures the nuance that there are degrees to bias, ranging from slight to extreme. Reacting strongly to anything regarding your color or ethnicity solely on that basis alone is a strong bias and wrongheaded. When I refer to gender and identity politics, that is exactly what I mean. A knee jerk response to something solely because it offends a PC notion of what it means to be a woman or black in modern American society. Jackson, Sharpton and the afrocentric movement have made a fine living off that fat hog and woe betide any white person for pointing out the truly vile nature of preying on one’s own people.

As with using the phrase “questionable merit”. According to whom? You? Who gets to be the arbiter of that? If you don’t agree with the topic or the merits of the topic, don’t participate. Simple as that. However, referring to people as stupid doesn’t have a place here.
