Did Charlottesvilel mean anything?

Not accusing anyone in particular of doing it.

Others, though, are -- and they're doing that as a smoke-screen. They're being called racist why? Because they're marching under swastika flags? Oh dear, cry me a river. Of course they're going to be called racist at that point, and they should grow a set of balls and own their opinions.

If I call someone racist, it's only because I've got the goods on them. If that discomfits them, that's not my problem, and I will not apologize for them being uncomfortable. At a certain point they have to put on their big-boy pants and venture into the arena of ideals, where words are the weapons. If they're afraid of that, okay -- let them go buy their silly tiki-torches while I and others like me point up the obvious ridiculousness of their bugbears.

Calling someone racist is not in and of itself a bad thing. Sometimes people are racist, and they need to be pointed out. If you're uncomfortable with doing that, that's you. It'd be nice if some of those little assholes would actually show up here for this "discussion" you long for, but oddly enough they're notable by their absence.

There is no discussion with supremacists because they do not want discussion. Get that through your head. They do not want to talk about their racism. They want to enforce it.

White supremacists are already too far gone I'd say. My post was mainly about people you'd actually be around. As the example on my other post, if you're hanging out with someone who says/does something racist, I think just calling them a racist and checking out would be counter productive (not accusing anyone here of doing that). I think the best thing to do in a scenario like that would be to explain to them why you think it's racist and wrong.

Anyway, it really wasn't supposed to be a controversial comment.
