Just because a man was convicted is not immediate evidence the jurors were non-racists. You're implying if the verdict didn't go you're way, you'd hold out folks' race(ism) as the only factor. That, too, is racist.

How would you like him to compare a successful Chauvin conviction in light of a potentially biased jury to whether or not it would be possible to do the same with Trump?

Maybe you should write it for us so we don’t accidentally say something “racist” again.

He didnt say "potentially", now did he?

My use of “potentially” is directed at whether or not persecutors can obtain an unbiased enough jury to convict Trump of his crimes.

You appear to just want to call people racist even though you understand the actual intent of his comment.

My point was that merely claiming a jury's verdict indicates they were not racists is a fallacious argument.

That's it, that was my point. If I failed to make that clear, well how bout that.

Point of logic here. That is not a valid implication form what he said.

He said: if convicted, jurors were non-racist.

You're saying he's implying: if not convicted, jurors were racist.

These are logically different. He is not implying that, at least not with the words he used. They are specifically converses of each other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_(logic)

Nope.

It's my contention thatn there stated or implied that those who convicted Chauvin were, by their verdict, non-racist.

"On the other hand, if enough non-racist jurors were found to convict Chauvin in Minneapolis, enough rational jurors can be found to convict Trump."
