I suspect you’ve never hung out with enough different minority groups to understand the scope of difficulty. I mean FFS the Latinos vote against immigration, The poor vote against social services. Even when you run into a minority group that is doing things in their best interest, they’re not inclined to stick their neck out for people outside there subgroup. Nobody else is taking care of them so they take care of themselves and they give no F’s about the other minorities

You should reflect on why your rhetoric and beliefs are a major part of the problem.

Thank you for caring about a metric that doesn't matter for me. Do you worry about everyone's down votes or just the pretty ones like me?

The brackets are used to make the equation look cleaner, and the issue for declaring the statement true was doing Addition and Subtraction in the wrong order.

A - ( B x C ) + ( D x E ) = A - ( B x C ) - ( D x E )

Using your example:

10 - 1 + 1 = 10 doing the subtraction first. 10 - 1 + 1 = 8 doing the addition first.

When doing the other side of the equation:

10 - 1 - 1 = 8 regardless of order because it is all subtraction. edit: Brain still waking up it is not the same regardless of order, but you do it left to right making it incorrect to do 1-1 first.

By doing it out of order and incorrectly I was able to make my statement true that as long as A was greater than the sum of B-E both sides would be equal.

This was about rights, not agreeing on every single subject. For minority groups without, or lacking in, basic human rights in the same population it is more productive to try and attain them as a singular group.

Everything you have said is a moot point in regards to what I am saying.

This assumes the minority groups can all agree on things in order to “come together.”

Do you know what a moot point is?

I wish irony was lethal.

This doesn't really change, or add, to my point does it?

I made my points and you are choosing to not respond to them or understand them. Try asking good faith questions, and stop trying for bad faith tactics.
