47. Yes, I deny it. I hadn't thought about 'white v. non-white' at all; I was just pointing out a fact

about the murder rate which you had called 'bullshit'. After that, you started on the "don't blame whites, blame minorities for Texas murders" shit which it's appalling to see trotted out on DU. I didn't say anything at all about ethnicity - it was you.

Your comments are the worst sort of race-based fearmongering. They are exactly what Trump supporters say. My comment was "Texas has a higher murder rate than Washington", but you tried to take that as blaming white people, and then decided to blame non-white people instead. Pointing out a simple fact has caused you to explode like Trump on a bad day.
