Let's try some classical logic on this.

P1: All white people are racist

P2:To be racist is to be evil

C: All white people are evil

P1: The author is black

P2: Blacks cannot be racist

C: The author is not racist

P1:The author is not racist

P2: The author says all white people are evil

C: It is not racist to say all white people are evil.

I reject conclusion 1 and conclusion 3. The logic, it appears to me, is flawless. I must therefore reject one of the premises in each case. Since the author insists all white people are racist, his point must be that racism is not evil.

Professor, using logic with a liberal is like using square golf balls.

Logic would then dictate that the Vulcans are the superior race, then
