Raheem Sterling: Manchester City winger is targeted by racism, says Ian Wright

Sooooo that's all you got from my post huh? Consider me unconvinced of your true desire to hear other people's thoughts on this matter and your open mindedness ie ability to modify your previously held beliefs in light of new information.

I got a little challenge/thought experiment for you Mr Open-Mindedness, why don't you come up with an cogent argument/possible explanation as to why or how a reasonable person could believe the underlying motives behind the press' work could be racist? Can you conceive of such a possible explanation? You don't have to agree with it but it will be really telling of your true position if it is not convincing. It has been said that the true measure of person's intellect is the ability to evaluate two diametrically opposed beliefs simultaneously. This exercise requires a certain level of intellectual honesty that mere claimants of open-mindedness do not possess.

I'm betting my left nut you won't take me up on that challenge. I would be very impressed if you did but I have zero expectation that you will. Or you could do like most and find some small point in my post with which to take issue and deflect away. Or ignore my post. That'll get you there too. But we both know that now you are pretty much painted into an intellectual corner at this point. What's really exciting is that we are all going to gain further insight into you right now.

Just playing devils advocate here, this is a chat room, not university, school or debating club. I doubt many people on this site would do what you've suggested in this post - especially after the last paragraph.
