[QUOTE]Originally posted by Apocalypse: [QB] Watu wrote: [QUOTE] For those who may not know, Black Americans are like Mexicans - Fulanis are like the Spaniards. A Black American finds it to be a complement to be associated with a Fulani, while a Fulani person would find it insulting to be associated with a Black American. [/QUOTE]Apocalypse responded: [QUOTE] The fact is probably many young Fulanis (for better or worse) are emulating Jay Z, or Kayne West, or some other variation of black american mass cultural icon.[/QUOTE]Explorer “called me out”: [QUOTE] I have no way of knowing[b] a priori, [/b]if there is some Fulani somewhere in the globe embracing hip hop, since I'm not omnipresent.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Your statement is about as controversial as watu's claim that African Americans exaggerate Fulani ancestry in them. It is based on[b] a priori [/b]opinion [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Your logic towards implicating "Fulani youth" as necessarily and automatically Jay Z emulators is based on your [b]a priori [/b]calculation[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Your statement was based on emotional reaction to watu's claim. It was an[b] a priori [/b]assumption.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] An inference based on nothing but an [b]a priori [/b]assumption.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] It was a poorly thought-out claim wrought with contradiction, i.e. trying to pass an [b]a priori [/b]assumption off as a fact[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] You might as well, since you made an[b] a priori [/b]assumption about the Fulani youth and passed it off as "common knowledge", as if to say that you can predict mannerism in Fulani. To predict this mannerism without a tangible premise, is to essentially say--by your logic--that the Fulani culture and mannerism are "common knowledge" such that you can just pick on them and say any [b]a priori [/b]statement about their ways, and not be held accountable. You miscalculated[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] You can go on broken record mode with that tired old jive above, but the fact remains that you paradoxically passed off an[b] a priori [/b]assumption as a fact![/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Your face saving antics after exposure can never convince me that your claim was anything else but an emotionally-driven reaction with an[b] a priori [/b]premise.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Using contradictory idea. In this case, that would be passing an uncertain [b]a priori [/b]assumption off as a fact.[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
