The part you are missing, given the premise either good or
evil and not good leaves us with evil.
However, as I pointed out to you before and Clarence,
one, can't use such arguments to distinguish -between-
non-classes when such classes are more than one.
In the example you gave, you made a statement to
distinguish amoung non-white which as I wrote previously
is ILLOGICAL as it contains more than one.
Take care,
John
