Contradictions: You should not use race to judge; and you should.
You should judge a person based on other peoples actions; and you should not.
Judge and dont judge.

How can he be right if he contradicted himself on atleast threepoints?

@janhelfeld Exactly; that's logic. You destroy your credibility on a principle because you show that your willing to violate for reasons that are fallacies (Ad-ignorantum , ad-baculum)

Where do you find these guys? ;)

I should start doing this to the elected officials in my own city.

OMG, Lewis is so worried about where its going that he is hesitant to answer even the most obvious question to avoid getting trapped by his own Bull Shit... LMAO

@janhelfeld

But he didn't contradict himself even once. Jan, you confused yourself with tense. What IS and what SHOULD BE, what HAS happened and what SHOULD happen from now, are different.

@BigDaddyDJD LOL. I was gonna say that.

I definitely think all people should be jurged by their individual actions

[SteveLLW]

What is worse, this idiot congressman's support of institutional racism via Affirmative Action, or his inability to say the word, "judged", without sounding like he's squirting out a turd?

[DemonteAlford1]

What he meant was that if a person in a certain place or group allows racism without speaking out he is just as bad therefore you can judge that group.

You're a bad bad man Mr. Helfeld...setting Socratic snares on these poor politicians and revealing their blatant double talk

Collective guilt: that's a great strategy when the pool of actual offenders don't have the means of compensating your greivances. Of course, it creates more greivances.
