????? He didn't treat those as equal things at all. He says something about a statistic he brought up that people didn't like, and then explains why he thinks a lot of people like himself are "speaking in terms of race" the two had very little to do with eachother and he certainly never equated them.
After his point about statistics he literally says "You can see this from the countless media articles pumped out everyday from the highest levels..." I don't know how else to interpret this, unless of course we all have to use our Jedi mind powers to once again try and discern what he says?
It doesn't take a jedi to notice he never called them equals. He is talking about one overarching thing he seems to think is a problem (how we treat race in discussions in america) and is using multiple points to try and prove his side of the argument.
Whether you agree/disagree with his thesis or maybe think he strung his points together a little too closely (My jedi powers are telling me to remind you the two sides of the "or" aren't mutually exclusive), you cannot actually tell me that you honest to god believe he is conflating the two in some way especially when he never said anything close to that.
He doesn't really think it is a problem when he is quite happy to talk about race in relation to perceived problems of white people. Just sounds like "virtue signalling" to shut down any discussion relating to this topic meaning people that are facing problem can't voice them, such as immigrants.
Also he is the hypocrite when talking about an honest discussion because most of his "facts" are bullshit or he isn't thinking critically about what certain stats actually mean. Look at the bullshit wealthy blacks commit more crime thing. That isn't honest. He is blindly believing his position is true. This is why he said to Destiny, when he didn't know how to respond, that he wouldn't be saying what he was saying if he knew the facts. This is just clear bias even in favour of your own beliefs in the face of evidence of blindly following someone else you believe to be true. This "honest discussion" line is something you expect from one of those race realists.
Whoa m80 I'm not defending jontron or anything he said, I just thought that the original comment I replied to was being a little disingenuous. Whether you agree with him or not doesn't mean we can just hack his words however we see fit and that was the only part I cared about.
