He also said that he's guilty of association because neo-Nazis responded to his words; he also asked Destiny why he doesn't denounce his Communist followers. Destiny rather wimply said that Communism is an economic thing, nothing like the fascistic and racist ideologies of Naziism, clearly forgetting his own history as Chairman Mao used Communism to justify exterminating religious temples and religious sects and forcing secularism by gunpoint upon his populace.

The point, you moron, is that communism's ideology doesn't call for that poo poo whereas fascism's explicitly does as a means of perpetuating its system and war economy.

No poo poo communists have been authoritarian dictators but guess what so have capitalists and no one is saying "democracy and capitalism cannot co-exist."

Yeah brah that's def my argument and you're definitely not using hyperbole or acting disingenuous at all!!!

What about : if a cop arrests a man for possession of marijuana - do you think the man's skin color makes a difference in terms of whether the cop gives him a ticket or a warning or makes an arrest?

See, in a society that truly values free speech, both sides of this debate would have their words weighed and the important take-away from it should be the discussion and ideas it promotes, with both "sides" ultimately contributing to a single whole, that being an expansion of knowledge on a topic and an understanding of opposing points of view.

When you start shouting about "NAZIS" and say that one side is objectively wrong and so on, then there's no expansion of knowledge nor any consideration of other perspectives; there's just people who want to lecture others.

Remember what I said about non-racists viewing racists like most people view pedophiles and pedo-defenders? You're not going to negotiate with a pedophile to come to some mutually agreeable position (maybe lower the AoC to 13?) and we're not going to negotiate with racists.

Because that's textbook racism. Why does it matter which race is in the majority if you really believe in human equality? Is a black or Latino American less American than a white American? The point is they're all Americans and if you're concerned about which race is the majority the only logical reason for that is if you don't think they're all equal and one is better than the other which is loving racism in a nutshell.

So then, are racism and cultural identity not intrinsically tied? Is it possible to have a cultural identity devoid of racism? If so, would it be devoid of ALL measures of dividing peoples into groups? Can we define ourselves without defining "others"?

As I recall, you're not American, so I'll not weigh your assessment of American uniformity very heavily, but there IS a sincere case to be made that there is no actual "American" cultural identity. Most people identify with their "home lands" from generations back, or else identify as a racial, political or religious entity; but not as an American one.

Conservatives, and what Jon is touching on ties into this, believe America would be a better place if there was such a thing. They define it using race, which I do not think is the best route to take, but it's a point to be made: if this is a "melting pot" should not then by the end of the melting process the fondue be, while flavorful and blending all that which went into it, should it not be recognizable as a singular "whole"?

ISIS, ideologically, opposes Democracy and Western individualism. It is an anathema to all this country stands for, and worse yet it is becoming the loudest voice for Islam in the world today; is it not logical for some to equate Islam with the very opposite of everything America represents, individual liberty and freedom of choice?

Wealth obv but that doesn't mean skin color ceases to matter whatsoever and a lot of poor as gently caress white people are racist as hell. Just like a lot of poor black people are not paragons of virtue, either.

This may come as shock to you, but people do not have to be white to serve institutions that favor whites. In case of cops there is a whole bunch of procedures that make engagement with minorities, and escalation against minorities more likely regardless of the ethnicity of the officer.

Colonial powers used native troops to fire against native rebels - is that a proof that colonialism was built on equality and fair treatment?
