Yeah. It's boring. I am here for a good discussion. You failed miserably. And T. A. too.
Stinks up this site.
It might help if, just one time, you actually contributed to a "good discussion..."

It's very possible. Many people on this board use shitty statistics. I've pointed it out repeatedly too. Can't give specific cases for those two, but it is possible, and actually very likely.

Like I said, I'd love to hear this from them.
Should be interesting. They'll tell you that using statistics is not racist.
No you’re not. You have quite the reputation here.
Can’t handle your own medicine?
I did. I asked, repeatedly, you and anonymass to provide a quote where Pete said roads and accidents are racist.
It should be so easy for you guys.
Since you two (one?) failed to do so, I can only assume you two are trolling or gaslighting.
It can be when you use them wrong. Wrong use of statistics is pretty common among idiots trying to support an untenable position.
As I have pointed out now--THREE TIMES if you include this one-- Buttplug IMPLIED racist intent with what he said. He didn't have to say outright this or that is "racist" to say something is racist. Implication is enough, and Buttplug clearly did that.
Yep, Pete Buttplug is now claiming that not only are roads, cars, traffic control devices, but even auto accidents are racist!
“it is a matter that deserves increased attention, and I am actively working to raise awareness about it. The crisis of roadway fatalities in the United States is staggering, with approximately 40,000 lives lost each year.”
Following that, he adds, this is a number comparable to gun violence. Moreover, there are significant racial disparities. These disparities are with Black and Brown Americans, tribal citizens, and rural residents being at higher risk of losing their lives as drivers or pedestrians.
Furthermore, discrimination plays a role in this issue, including the design and construction of roads, access to safe street designs with crosswalks and proper lighting, and disparities in access to such infrastructure. “As a society, we have a responsibility to take action to address these disparities.”

There is no implication.
Are you claiming that there are no poorly constructed and maintained infrastructure?
If that is the case, I can take you places that will have you reel in horror.
I've never seen anyone, including T. A., challenging TDAK and Volscock's statistics.
poor planning, poor bureaucracy, poor management, lack of foresight, lack of caring, any number of things
Or, do you really believe that the people that do transportation infrastructure think something like You know what? Let's let these roads in this Black, Hispanic, whatever, area go to hell and we'll only work on roads elsewhere...
That's pure bullshit.
It's far more like the politicians and bureaucrats want a choo-choo train to hell between here and there at billions per mile so they redirect all the funding from maintenance and upkeep to that pet project.
Very Leftist city being run into the ground.
That's one example. There's plenty of others. Drive any major Democrat run city and the infrastructure is for shit. Why? Because Democrats rarely, if ever, understand the importance of maintenance, planning, and upkeep. Instead, they focus on the next big thing project that will get them more power and money. Republicans are not quite as bad, but they're no gems either...
Then you aren't looking. I've challenged TDAK on numerous occasions. I can't say for sure on Volscock's posts. But I will look out for occasions when I do and note them for you--or will at least try to do that, okay?
If there's no implication why doesn't Mayor Buttplug provide statistics? Hmmm?There is no implication.
Of course there are. You should drive anywhere in New Orleans, any street, any neighborhood. They're a complete disaster, always have been. It takes about half a dozen city workers to repair a pothole about two weeks.Are you claiming that there are no poorly constructed and maintained infrastructure?
The street I live on, e.g. All white families except for one Pilipino and one messican. Nobody has died from driving on it. Not even the Philipino or messican.If that is the case, I can take you places that will have you reel in horror.
I call bullshit but sure I'll be on the look out.
(I don't think you will be able to challenge anyway. They usually are spot on and cite reliable sources.)

I know I have in TDAK's case. The guy is a pure racist bigot, and I've called him / her / it (covering the pronouns thing) more than once over that.
Of course he's a racist bigot. Doesn't change the fact that he used reliable statistics.
