This is not complicated.

Reading the first paragraph does not change the reality that the title was factually incorrect.

Creating imaginary titles isn’t proof that the real title is factually correct either.

Totally depends on the person's definition of forward. I imagine most conservatives have a different definition of that than you.

I don't have to introduce facts. The facts are in the article. Suddenly requiring article titles to spell out the details discussed in the body is definitely new to me.

If I've been proven wrong, it definitely wasn't by someone that can't string two sentences together to make a point...

you've been proven wrong by everyone on this thread. as I said before, you're the only one that is on your side. you're at a point now where you're trying to get the thread closed so people will stop being mean to you.

The push back from your post says it all.

I believe someone once said that "people would rather be lied to, than told they are being lied to".

All you did was state the obvious and it outraged the tribe. The Dems require all minorities, women, LGBTQ to be in lock step - even though their history of actually helping these classes is nil. It's mind-boggling.

I'll probably get hammered for simply pointing it out.

I've come to expect that any sort of facts require the ire of the herd. It was in the memo.

The word “the” implies the other six don’t exist. Always nice to know if you don’t fall into the proper group think there are people who think you can no longer claim your race.
YOU are exactly correct! As if anyone should be put into a box, or a basket.




I'm multi racial, there is no basket for me.

Don’t know, don’t care. They have nothing to do with the article being discussed. If they are factually incorrect that doesn’t excuse Ebony for being factually incorrect. Surely your mama told you two wrongs don’t make a right?

They aren’t required to spell out the details but they should at least be factually correct.

So you're trying to distract and take the focus off of this article by pointing to articles that have nothing to do with this one?

Just wave a white flag already.
