@dale74 This is the "Russia and Ukraine are both bad" argument.

Yes, there's political violence all across the political spectrum. But it's much more common on the Right, plus it's being encouraged by right-wing media and the Republican party.
We can't just arrest anyone who might do political violence. But we can stop the right-wing establishment from radicalizing people.

@BohemianBoo its a whataboutism, they love this crap. Can never stay on topic🤷‍♀️. I blame lobster guy

@Alison This comment made lobster guy cry again.

@BohemianBoo i got mean in my convo with him here, he wrote some essay and as is my nature I didnt read it and just deleted it.

[quote]mainstream society is racist against white people[/quote]

@LordShadowfire
Let me add, there was no public backlash to this. There was also no public backlash to Chicago mayor, Lori Lightfoot, saying she doesn't take questions from white reporters.
People say racist things in public all the time. But it's ONLY when the racism is directed at white people that the public is okay with it.

@BohemianBoo Okay, you win. Black people have never suffered prejudice in this country, and it's all made up just to get rid of the master race and replace them. Happy?

@LordShadowfire Hold on there, my dude bro. I didn't say all that. I even said that people say racist things in public all the time, it's just only acceptable when it's against white people. That's why the racism against white people is systemic. It's so acceptable that it's in all aspects of our society. Even right-wing media, which dog whistles to Nazis constantly, also throws in some anti-white racism when they feel it might help.

@BohemianBoo Okay, whatever. No systemic racism against minorities, only white people. That's why white people can't apply for certain jobs, or live in gated communities without being harassed.

Oh, shit, my bad. That's still black people.

@LordShadowfire Again, I acknowledge that black people still face racism. I'm saying that this kind of racism is largely seen as unacceptable by the public. When someone is publicly racist against Blacks or Jews, there is a huge backlash. But racism against Whites is seen as ok. That's the difference.
Also, Blacks can apply for any jobs they want and many of them do live in gated communities. Sure, maybe they get harassed here and there for racial reasons, but again, that kind of racism is socially denounced. I'm saying only Whites face [b]systemic[/b] racism.

@LordShadowfire You know I'm right.
