I was responding to this original assertion:

> once we start thinking that one is better than the other, we get hierarchy, and we get superiority

...with a rebuttal that argues against drawing that conclusion on the basis that uncomfortable discoveries do not imply a hierarchy.

In other words -- and note how absurd this is -- you're saying that my position, which is that differences need not and should not imply a hierarchy, implies not only that I do think there is a hierarchy, but that it's a hierarchy with whites on top.

You drew the exact opposite conclusion from very plain words.

Bluntly: the game you're playing -- you're a white supremacist until you say otherwise! -- is gross. I've said absolutely nothing to imply that I am one. (Again, I actually said exactly the opposite.) Your attempt to hold me hostage is absurd.

And before you respond that I still haven't denied it: Knock it off. This is not how adults disagree.
