Do you find being called "black" offensive?

Boo please, his arguments implied that he felt since it was a scientific term that it was not a racial slur.

Oh! So you do know what imply means! I had no idea.

Social science is an umbrella term, don't push a study into the rain just because it's not identical to the ones that you're the most familiar with.

I'm still wondering why you brought it up as a way to prove that science is racist though. Before you say "oh I didn't say that", you did not directly say this but rather implied it quite strongly (implying something is saying it without bluntly stating it).

I am not sure why you made this post when I pretty much said the same thing in my last post.

I think I did a good job in detail explaining why I brought it up in my last post.

I'm pretty sure he understands and recognizes how it can be used as a racial slur but that really doesn't negate it's lack of racial bias when speaking scientifically.

remember when phrenology was a science and according to it black people had dumber heads.

I stand by the fact that he did not think the term was a racial slur. I would not have argued it down otherwise.

So you'll agree that communications is a social science then? Great.

Please explain why science is racist and why your involvement in a social science affirms that. I'm still not seeing where you're getting at with that.

YOU say that but he did not state that himself in any of his posts.

You saying "your pretty sure he means" really does not justify any of his posts if he can not articulate that himself.

My goodness the irony here is overwhelming.

Baby you are not reading my posts.

I said that you came with the receipts that Communications IS a social science, I admitted you were RIGHT!?!?!

Did you miss that post????

Here it is for you again

The receipts were given and Communications is a social science however that doesn't mean you learn the same social scientific theories as psychology or even a family students degree. Its very different in that respect.
