Ah yes, the NYT is fake news but we should trust a Wikipedia article that is in the process of being deleted because it is fabricated.

The New York Times appears to me and many others misguided on the issue of race.

The 1776 Wikipedia page does not appear to be slated for deletion, I'm not sure what you're talking about there.

It says it on the talk page.

When a group of white people and a group with a black person are doing the exact same thing (reporting for cable news), positioned equidistant on opposite sides of a group of police offers and one group gets arrested and the other does not, how is that not racism? It is literally a natural experiment with a single variable (race) changed.

You're assuming that a single variable is being changed, but the far more likely explanation is that, given the high complexity of the situation, there are some other variables that you're not accounting for.

What variables?
