FYI though http://thesaurus.com/browse/suspect

Argue with the dictionary if you want.

To suspect something is to think it is likely or probable.

To assume something is to believe it is true.

If you don't know the difference between likely and true, go back to second form or whatever the heck you call it.

Argue with what dictionary, certainly not the one I quoted. Dont blame me if you cant grasp synonyms.

Yes, the one you quoted...

Just about every popular dictionary defines synonym as a term having "the same or nearly the same" meaning as another, but there is an important difference between "the same" and "nearly the same."

Noun synonyms sometimes mean exactly the same thing... [but] when we move from nouns to other parts of speech, we almost always find subtle but important differences among synonyms: although the meanings overlap, they differ in emphasis and connotation...

Lists of synonyms are useful when we are struggling to write and looking for just the right word, but each word must be considered in light of its specific definition.

So I missed two apostraphes, BFD.

The point remains that both suspect and assume can be interchangeable, as they are in the context they were first used. The fact you don`t wish to see that doesn`t surprise me in the slightest. Anything to deny the fact that black people suffer more racism.

I haven't posted anything on the subject of who suffers more. You're making shit up again. Get over yourself.

Only certain posters are allowed to point out the racism of others. Didnt you get that memo?

I have pulled a bunch of posts. If you did not receive a Gold Letter and your post is gone, it is because you quoted or replied to a post that was removed.

Please learn the difference between a dictionary (I quoted) and a thesaurus (you quoted).
I learned the difference before Jr Hi.
