Ever heard of Graves’ Law?

Graves’ law

Graves’ law (also known as Graves’ Rule of Racist Attribution or Graves’ Law of Racist Analogies) is an observation made by Rodney Graves in 2011.  It states: “As an online discussion of American Politics grows longer, the probability of an attribution of a position being racially motivated approaches unity [1 or 100%].” In other words, Graves put forth the observation that, given enough time, in any online discussion of American Politics someone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by claiming or insinuating that their opponent’s point is a product of racial bias.

Hmmmmmm :-)
