Still not.
It's almost as if you have decided to reflexively disagree with my posts, from what I can tell.
Stop being wrong.

I think "no I didn't" would have been more apropos.
You'd have to be able to state my position before you could meaningfully say its wrong. So far, all you have done is attribute to me what I don't believe, and you've been doing that for years now. Since you don't know what I've been saying, you have no idea if its wrong or not.
When I said I would't miss you if you stopped posting in this thread, I meant it. I don't think our communication on this subject would be any worse if you were deliberately trying to misunderstand. So, unless I see some sign of improvement in that communication, I'm basically writing you off in this discussion.
Yes, I'm aware you will continue to post irrelevant drivel not connected to what i'm saying. I expect no change from you.
An article on a study about how care-givers assign different levels of stigma based on word choice:

Just the difference between using "disorder" and "abuse" changed the judgment of professionals in the field of substance issues. How much more would such word choices affect non-professionals?
This is offered to highlight how the small signals we don't notice influence our initial judgments and perceptions.

Since people keep complaining I don't talk about black racism, or that only whites are racist, or other stupid things, an article that includes a discussion of black racism among students:

Also, time to acknowledge an error. Earlier, I said that black teachers treat white students better than black students. So far, the studies I found that address this issue seem to say they treat the students about equally well.

I have plenty of coworkers still up in arms that they changed it from Christmas party to awards function 12 long years ago. They preach that "we are no longer a Christian nation", while I think "they left Europe to get away from your catholic plague".
I can't wait for this god forsaken holiday to be over.
The Wall Street Journal posts an ode to being WASP:
