You pretty much defeated yourself by starting out with an admittedly "tiny" example. If you want to convince me that it's rampant, why not use a really big example?
Right back atcha, oh defender of Racists!

I said this was a tiny example because this forum IS tiny and look at the racism just in this tiny entity....this is just a small SAMPLE of the slobbering racists in the U.S.....they ARE there..

Do you REALLY think those 26 people are the ONLY racists in the U.S.??? That CD contains the ONLT racists in the U.S.?

CD in itself represents again only a very small percentage of the population so your argument still lacks any substance. Calling me names doesn't add any credibility either. You can roll your eyes and call names all you want but unless you can present data beyond what you believe to be true, it means nothing.

If you were to note, in my calculations, I actually gave you an advantage by allowing your own provided number an additional 900%, or a 450% markup if you will, increase but still the numbers fell short. Given that the less than 1 million CD users represent less than about 1/8 of a percent of the population of the US, even with your 10-fold given advantage, you still end up with roughly 1%. Again, that's still not what could be called "a lot".

You may consider 1% or less to be a significant value but few others would. Just the phrase "A Lot" is completely subjective as used today. If you want to use the term Lot as a precise measurement then you unequivocally stated that in the US today, there is exactly 1/32 of a pound of racist(s). Yes that is semantic BS but it's no more childish than calling names and rolling eyes. I can play on that level too if you choose.

almost everyone here would be up in arms had someone pretended to be a Jew in a gas chamber. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Sifting through the blather and rightly ignoring it, you accused me of calling you a name...what name was that.


Hint: I didn't , which makes you a L---.

There is no hope for some people. A black man is president of the United States, and still these people see themselves as the perpetual victim class. A boogieman lurking around every corner.
