Are these people not racist because they voted for Obama?
Does it not seem likely that they are the exception as opposed to the rule? I going to assume that the majority of people that voted for Obama and Trump are not racists.

I was meaning like reporters on the ground with long unedited footage of the event. Anyone can write things that wil suit their narrative , it is harder to deceive people and put your own spin on longer video footage.

The list of speakers and their affiliations is not a narrative, and like I said, that link wasn't for people who already had their minds made up.

They were answering all kind of questions form people. They could of been asked and answered. Truth is it was not about free speech or they would care about a govement messing with it more then a liberal college. Hell they dont even protest or care about conservative colleges who dont allow some speakers. Free speech. Yeah sure.

And im arguing with people who think it is ok to assault people because they voted for Trump , that ANTIFA are peaceful protesters and oh yea black people that voted for Trump are racist.
04-18-2017 , 05:55 PM
Who said it was OK to assault people because they voted for Trump? It isn't OK to assault anyone, nor is it a helpful way to get one's point across, anyway.

Slug, you should probably start to realize that there's only one way for this to end: Trump being an ineffective, hated, divisive President remembered very negatively by history, with his supporters 20, 30 years from now thought of the same way as George Wallace '68 backers are today.

So you're saying black people can't be racist?

This dude still going hard in the paint with blatant lie that these Trumpkins are having free speech rallies? Yeah, sure dude. These people traveled from all over the country to have their "free speech rally" in ****ing Berkeley not because they were intent on provoking violence but because they were really hoping for an authentic farm-to-table macrobiotic dining experience afterwards.

True, true, but the other part is that they're lying, or, like, the black mailman doesn't count.

Just as how nobody will cop to voting for W, literally eveerrybody has voted for Obama now, especially MAGAites. He got over 500MM votes each time, winning the pop by a whopping 142% to -37% margin.

You realize there are people who have labeled every single Trump voter as either a fascist, a neo-nazi, or a white supremacist, right? And that many of those same people have advocated physical violence against said "fascists!"?

You understand these posts are here in this forum, don't you?

Voting for either is a de facto endorsement of a homidical drone/air strike campaign. Difficult to imagine that happening if the "collateral damage" victims were white anglo-saxons, so yeah there's a racial component to it and a deeply racist element of majority US society.

If by racism you just mean people who hate blacks, I believe about 42% of Trump voters thought blacks were an inferior species, and also 26% of Democrat voters. On those numbers which indicate very explicit racism it seems like you could make a convincing case for a majority racist population since most racists probably have marginally more moderate views.

As we've found out recently here in the UK, most people are c***s. Counter-intuitive perhaps, but there's a body of supporting evidence.

See, one of the reasons Spencer getting clocked was A Good Thing(tm) was that it made clear that this **** isn't a ****ing game. Politics is a big deal, it's important, and fascism literally kills people.

That was very easy to forget when you're just loling at top kek spicy memes on the_donald, but there is literally nothing in the world more effective at focusing onto the here and now like getting popped in the face. Being a Nazi for the lulz is not OK, and the rest of us don't find that ****ty funny.


And you see in Dan's panicky posts here that the message is starting to get through.

You'd think for such an outspoken BLM dance party attending progressive Dan would be a mite more concerned about street violence coming from the other side, though. That being the general way of the world, one doesn't generally find motivation to physically assault ideological allies.

At exactly what point on the road to the final solution do you consider it acceptable for people to defend themselves?

With respect to the bolded, yes, there are some people doing this, and they're wrong. I don't feel that way, nor do all progressives. Just like every other election, plenty of R voters simply voted party line, or against abortion, or for a conservative SCOTUS justice, or for what they perceive to be potentially lowered taxes. Those would be examples of Trump voters who don't qualify as racists.

Not every Trumper is a neo-Nazi. However:
- a measurable number of people out there who backed Trump certainly do hold such views;
- while all Trumpers aren't racists, all racists are Trumpers.

The latter isn't something I've seen much of on this site at all. Feel free to point out a significant number of examples.
