Are you certain that you knew every black student at your school or just the popular ones? If there are few blacks it makes sense that the ones you'd notice would be tall and athletic as these are qualities that tend to engender popularity for school children. Did you conduct a formal or even semi-formal survey? I've heard similar suggestions to this before and they rarely conform to reality. This sounds more likely to be a case of conformation bias.

This cannot be stressed enough. Anyone who enforces a rule through violence but is not subject to that rule is nothing more than a thug.

He didn't admit that computers rig elections. He said it would be very easy to do so and that it would be hard to detect for non-programmers. He also created a program for voting machines that could skew the vote. It was a mock program. It was created for testing purposes. He though it was so his employers (or rather his company's) could see what a tampered machine would look like for detection purposes.

In a word: yes. Why shouldn't I?
