73. Anyone can make claims. Like someone could claim that people don't put
Edited on Sun Aug-23-09 08:43 PM by John Q. Citizen
"human" on census forms. But that doesn't mean that they have any idea at all what people put on census forms.

Someone could claim to know how the President of the United States self identifies. Yet that doesn't mean that they would have any real idea of how the President self identifies. They haven't discussed it with the President. they haven't read the President's autobiographical book about self identity and family history, yet they assume they know and are completely and totally certain of this knowledge.

Someone might think that screaming SPECIES AND ETHNICITY ARE NOT SYNONYMOUS!!!! means anything or that it would automatically win a discussion. I'm not sure why that is.

PS

The book is called "Dream From My Father." I assure you that it says nothing about species and ethnicity being synonymous or not being synonymous, and neither have I.

And what ever you do, don't read that book - Just kidding :)
