Also interesting to see good ol' [url=http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/24/4766750/popular-science-says-comments-are-bad-for-science-shuts-them-down]distrust of science ITT[/url]. Continue rationalising your views though; it's giving us all a good chuckle.

Ya, I'm racist against black people. I had to drag my face out of a black booty to type about just how racist I am. People need to realize you can make a "study" say literally anything you want.

2 RepliesSo what about the black gun owners I know? They racist against their own race?

Big surprise

3 RepliesWell I guess i'm racist. Who knew?

I can tell by the picture of zimmer and treyvon this is going to end well

1 ReplyCorrelation does not equal causality. Bewm. Go take some statistics or sociology courses, then we talk.
-
Correlation =/= causation
-
6 RepliesThe gun movement has links to various vigilante groups, that have historically been racist.
-
3 Repliesoh yes, let's just ignore the concept of cause and effect. because correlation equals causation, one hundred percent of the time.

Apparently the study asked a question like "Do you think black people should still blame slavery for their problems?" or something, and if you said no, you're a racist. An incredibly biased study, basically.

I...what? I'm all for studies and research, but not once was any sort of concrete evidence mentioned. He basically said "This research was done; they say it means this." He didn't say how it was done (I really want to know how they could accomplish a study that could successfully link racism to gun-ownership, really), the different aspects of the study itself, or really [i]anything[/i] of substance at all. And "symbolic racism" (dat definition and different example)? Really? There's something wrong occurring when someone splits racism into two different categories of intensity and essentially ignores one of them. Honestly, this "symbolic racism" exists for a reason. I don't condone discriminating against anyone because of preconceived ideas, but if a particular race of people has a very large tendency towards some trait, then it is statistically more likely that any one of them will have that trait.

I don't really care one way or another in this gun debate, but just as a standard, if a study or its abstract doesn't list its sample size, it's probably a small sample size. The very minimum sample size you should have is about 100 people.
