I’m just going to address your comment about Black people and sports.
Black people do not have a higher natural talent in sports, for Black youth sports is one of the only ways to achieve success, so they place a higher emphasis on sports. It’s evident because they are only dominant in the sports they have access to.
Pointing out that you harbor racist sentiments is not thought terminating, it’s apparent in your writing.
Okay, so you're saying racism actually IS the only reason black people are overrepresented in those sports, have I got that right?
Shouldn't we then maybe implement a diversity quota system in order to give more white and Asian players a chance to compete? Seems kinda unfair to exclude them, don't you think? Perhaps if more of them had a chance become highly paid sports stars, they'd be less overrepresented in engineering or finance.
Your argument relies on a litany of logical fallacies: straw man, false dilemma, sarcasm as substitute, slippery slope, red herring and on top of that you’re gish galloping and making a bad faith argument.
Wow, EIGHT logical fallacies in only four sentences? That's gotta be some kind of record...
Now, would you please be so kind as to explain just HOW I managed to commit all of these fallacies in such a short amount of time? Because otherwise, one might accuse you of using those fallacies only as a thought-terminating cliché, and we wouldn't want that, would we.
A single sentence can contain multiple fallacies. Also it’s 5 logical fallacies, 1 rhetorical technique and 1 that just describes your general attitude. I’m not wasting any more time on you.
Bro is sealioning so hard.
Thanks. Finally someone appreciates me.
Nobody is excluding white and Asian people from school sports. What the fuck are you even talking about?
Why are black people overrepresented in these sports then?
In school sports? They aren’t.
No, in professional sports. The kind that actually make money.
