<p>Seriously, give it up already. I already explained the “your claim” portion of my post and how that doesn’t necessarily correlate to me thinking that you believe in such reasoning. Moreover, you misquoted me. Didn’t you advise me not to do that before?</p>
<p>I never said “your logic is flawed.” If you want to make it seem like that, then that’s on you, but that wasn’t part of any of my statements. My post said:</p>
<p>“For that matter, we could very well stop black people from marrying with your logic, based on statistics which state that AIDS is more prevalent amongst African-Americans.”</p>
<p>“Your logic” was meant as your logic which you provided as a possible reasoning behind the ban. Still doesn’t meant I thought you undoubtedly believed in it. Again, you keep incorrectly inferring on my posts, even though you seem to be annoyed by it every time someone else does the same to you, yet you still continue. Just stop it. Your was used in the possessive sense that you said it, not that you necessarily believed it. Again, going back to the devil’s advocate argument, if someone were to play that role, I would not necessarily be attributing a statement to someone’s beliefs if I were to say that “your” claim is incorrect. </p>
<p>You’ve made a few grave mistakes on word choice in this thread. I mean, you said that Brown “UPHELD” separate but equal; used is instead of isn’t, which made your post contradictory (I know there was supposed to be a question mark there, but you didn’t add it); and then you made some nonsensical post about most African-Americans being black. I’m not bringing this up to offend you, but you seemed to drop those points after you saw that you erred, while I’m continually “holding on” to this because I firmly believe that your claims are not correct. I may be wrong about why you drop those points, though.</p>
<p>You seem to be holding on to this argument because you don’t want to lose.</p>
<p>This goes back to the drug-testing thread, where I thought that your use of the word “really” contradicted a later claim. I was wrong based upon what you said. I should have asked what you meant by “really” in the first place, instead of just jumping to my own conclusion. You should have done the same thing in this case.</p>
<p>Can we come to an agreement about what I meant now? If not, we’re just going to keep going back and forth, even though I’ve clearly explained what I meant and how it makes sense. I’m not willing to continue such an argument.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, no you didn’t, but I provided it anyway. Here’s what you said:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>See below for my explanation of how I actually did provide those stats. “Gay blacks” wasn’t included in that post. I can’t deny that you asked for straight black rates, though, and I’m not going to deny that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Did I ever say you did? No. You asked if I had “a statistic handy which points to the percentage of straight, american blacks with AIDS.” I provided that. </p>
<p>

<p>Was it supposed to be logically inferred upon in this post:</p>

<p>If not, I don’t recall you saying that in response to me. That’s not to say it wasn’t said, but I didn’t read your responses to other people since I doubted that they would be pertinent to our argument.</p>
<p>

<p>You’re doing something else that you constantly complain about other people not doing. You didn’t read the entire article, did you? Read the entire page–specifically the table titled “Estimated adult and adolescent males living with an AIDS diagnosis in 2007 by race/ethnicity and exposure category”. It clearly states how the cases of HIV spread through heterosexual contact among black males is nearly three times higher than Latinos and nearly five times higher than whites. There’s stats for spread through homosexual contact in there as well. It’s a lot higher, but that wasn’t really the argument. The point was that heterosexual blacks should also be banned from being married according to the logic of trying to prevent disease, since, as you can see, the rate for heterosexual intimate contact transmission of HIV is alarmingly higher than all other ethnicities in the US.</p>
