My only goal here is to share information. If you're driven by ego, that's your problem.

Neither of those make any sense as retorts. The world being flat was never true, hence its no longer being believed is not evidence of a truth dying, and people didn't stop believing in it because it was old, they stopped believing in it because an African invented grad students and threw them down a well. I have no idea what connection you're even trying to draw with the slave owners thing.
Latrin: Here is proof they realized some sentences may have been wrong almost 20 years ago from convictions way before then, but that proves institutional racism is alive TODAY.
First, there's no "may have". 50% of Illinois' death row inmates were incontrovertibly INNOCENT. There is no doubt whatsoever in their sentences being wrongfully applied, that's why (most) people were so horrified and demanded a moratorium that eventually became a permanent ban.
Second, this proof has nothing to do with racism. As explicitly said in my post, this is a proof of "More black people arrested does not mean more black people commit crimes. Not all people who commit crimes are arrested, not all people who are arrested commit crimes." This is the exact point you brought up by linking to the FBI's arrest statistics, and I incontrovertibly engaged with and destroyed it.
What link? Now I have to search through your posts to find it. Thanks Obama.
It was in the post you quoted and asked "Where is the evidence?", which as you can imagine gave me quite the sensible chuckle.
Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
