please show me where exactly i said that i was? did you fail to read and
synthesize my original post to you where i believe we agreed on this issue?

you most certainlly did say it. you said it in a context where wojtek was
maintining that working people's views are such and so about the crim
justice system. you took issue and said you'd be more likely to find
plausible the claim that working people have racist attitudes, to wit:
"Personally, I doubt your supposition that working people do not
care about due process, but if they don't, they'[rew just as wrong as if they
have racist attitudes--a more plausible claim, from my reading of the
evidence. "
if you were merely talking about white people then such a claim is not
simply pluasible, it is unremarkable.
