Oh, sorry Martin. Too many big words again?

Well at least you've got balls. To get up in front of Xnumber
of people and reveal both your intellectual inferiority as well as
your vicious bile, and manage not to make any statements other
than this:
: However you want to fill in the boxes, blacks scored lower than whites.
: Period.

: It matters not how you classify people, whether races exist, whatever,
: just the FACTS.

Nope. No information here. Just illogical, semi-coherent
drivel.

: Can you contribute something here or not? Or would you rather
: mumble on about how "the is no such thing as a black/white difference".
: Your school must be under the PC gun bigtime.
: MKH

At least you have one consistent theme. If anyone disagrees
with you, they must be reacting out of PC.

What a lizard.
