The female tendency to equivocate, to "agree to disagree, both our opinions are right" is a copout. One of us is wrong, one of us is right, that's a fact. That you have seen something with your own eyes does not make your wider assertion correct. I might have seen a skunk in my former neighborhood, that does not mean skunks are everywhere or skunks are more common than racc00ns. I'm using all available evidence to determine who is most right. There's a lot of myths going around about the Carribean (i.e. most Jamaicans being light skin rather than specifically choosing to c00n, for example) so I'm going to help dispel some of those myths.
My experience generalizes to the streets and in school in an urban environment, which I think is more representative of the country than anything else. That you would even imply that women don't typically marry who they date is preposterous so I'm not sure I even want to continue this conversation. If the trend is to marry intraracially, wouldn't that presuppose women marry who they date?
The fact I made an affirmative correct statement about one part of the country's demography implies I know what I'm talking about. The fact you simply agreed doesn't prove you know what you're talking about. It indicates you know when you're beat, not that you're knowledgeable.
That you would even imply that women don't typically marry who they date is preposterous...
I never implied that.
"...agree to disagree, both our opinions are right" is a copout.
I never said that. All I said is I'm not gonna gonna try and invalidate your experience because I can only speak on mine. I have nothing to back up my claim (I don't even think Trinidad does a census on interracial marriages) but my own eyes, so it is pointless for me say either one of us is right or wrong.
The only thing I have ever stated is what I see and know, you see something different and you're telling me I'm wrong, you have no statistics to disprove my claim or prove your claim but you are adamant you are right.
What would it take for you to move on, me saying you are right? Well then, you are right and I am wrong.
Bravo Sir!!
