I never made any counterpoint about restricting people's freedom, that was the context of that statement. The counterpoint I'm referring to which you can't refute was in post #42. You just couldn't admit you were wrong that it was all due to government coercion, so you blathered on for five posts being evasive, then insulting, instead of admitting your error.
Let’s go back to your original complaint. That there used to be an effort en masse to legislate restrictions upon black people.
You argued, as best as can be seen, that this means we need to crack down on individual choices.
Then you tried to back out of it with quibbles. I nailed you to the ground four different ways and you STILL tried.
You look ridiculous.
SO BASICALLY, BOOGIE
When you abandon the personal attacks, then you won’t be spotlighted as mendacious yourself any more.
Let me also point out that if this is as high as you can rise, Boogie, to hammer on an inconsequential quibble for your own ego’s sake, you are in pitiful shape. Can you rise any higher? Black people had risen higher just before the end of Jim Crow than they are today with today’s plentiful welfare and affirmative action.
To wallow in past blames is to absolutely guarantee you won’t rise higher. There’s this pesky God out there that doesn’t go away even if you never darken a church’s door. You get judged in the way you judge, by the very Creator and Sustainer of the universe. I hope better things for you than what you’ve been wallowing in, Boogie.
