Not only is arithmetic racist, it’s also not a friend (at all) of liberals.
Which is why, of course, they all went into politics and journalism.

I’m developing a strange new respect for Chait. He’s also one of the few on the left to condemn the whole “campus rape epidemic” moral panic.

If you do not like the facts, scream racism.
If you have no actual data to back up a proposition, say it’s “for the children”.

Telling the truth is usually condemned as being racist.

Considering Windy the “micracle” predictor didn’t even break 40% should put any ideas of any kind of political career in doubt.

In the thread the original Salon article was postedin I opined this:
Salon wants so very bad to be taken seriously as a news outlet but cant be bothered to learn basic math and logic skills.
Abbott won the women vote. He won the white women vote but lost the black and brown women vote.
Nobody says that its unfair to call the football team with the most points the winner because they were outscored 3 out of 4 quarters.
A win is a win. Suck it losers.

Repeat this if you get confused by liberal illogic:
Everything liberals say is wrong. On every subject. Every time. Liberals are always wrong.
The fact they they try to come up with bizarre ways of being wrong doesn’t change the basic equation.
To: Lorianne
white man's arithmetic.
You all heard Obama say that only one third of the people voted, implying somehow that the vote count was irrelevant.

Analytic Geometry is pretty racist too, and integral calculus is downright fascist. Don't even start me on differential equations!
To: Lorianne
As RH Reality Checks Andrea Grimes reports, their votes were solidly in Davis favor: 94 percent of black women and 61 percent of Latinas voted for her. Only 32 percent of white women did. Let's look at this:
What is she saying? How did she get those numbers? From telephone surveys? 94 percent looks like a lot of people, but did she follow those women into the precinct and watch them vote? You know people do not note their race as they are voting.

Davis beat Abbott among Latinos (57-42) and African-Americans (93-7).Because they love late-term abortions. Pathetic ignorance.
