You really don't care how deceitful you are when you quote people, do you? Pax said something like there is equal disbursement of drug usage, he didn't say squat about cultural acceptance. Continue with your blind rejection, continue with your fear, continue with your deceit, but don't expect any respect from me. The opposite, actually. deceit begets ridicule.

I do care - which is why I was careful to be accurate.

Pax said something like there is equal disbursement of drug usage

Thank you for admitting that my citation was indeed perfectly accurate.

he didn't say squat about cultural acceptance

A distinction without a difference. Widespread usage implies acceptance. If it wasn't accepted, people wouldn't do it.

Continue with your blind rejection,

My rejection of the unsupported assertion that drug enforcement is inherently racist is hardly "blind" - I know black LEOs personally who put their lives on the line to fight the drugs that are killing kids in their communities. That does fit your little theory too well, does it?

continue with your fear,

I'm not afraid of discussing hard facts. You are. You and your buddies are long on rhetorical flash and very short on names, dates, facts and figures.

continue with your deceit,

You're the guy making sweeping claims he can't back up. Not I.

but don't expect any respect from me.

Why would I expect any?

The opposite, actually. deceit begets ridicule.

Just because you find it easier to spout meaningless ridicule than to do your homework doesn't make ridicule an inevitability. It's your weakmindedness, not my problem.
