Why would the agenda of anti-racism be bad. Why would people think that you're a racist, and why would you be okay with that? Same question again.I think I've only mentioned Antifa a couple times on here. I don't talk about them much. I bet though, that if it was President Trump's supporters attacking the Democrats headquarters, you'd have slightly more of a problem with it.
Does the absurdity of your situation in this regard ever hit you? How has it come to pass that you, a non [insert negatively valued descriptor here] person has come to make common cause with identical rhetorical flourish as the actual [insert negatively valued descriptor here] folk? You went full steve king - but you're not steve king anymore than those cops who maced a kid are, so what gives?
Anti-racism is bad because it calls for the defunding of the police which will only hurt blacks, it ended up in chokeholds being banned (cops beating people with batons rather than using these holds which UFC fighters say are very safe and a far better alternative doesn't sound good for blacks to me), and they demonize white people for not agreeing with them about every interaction between a black person and a cop that goes badly for the black person. This demonizaton of whites is only helping to create more white supremacists and further dividing the races. I want people of all races to get along, but BLM and the religion of Anti-racism are great recruiting tools for hate groups.
I use arguments that make sense to me. I'm not going to refrain from using an argument because some hateful person says things somewhat similar to justify their hate. If I think something is a good argument then I will use it, regardless of what other people are saying.
Why am I ok with being called a racist? I don't let names bother me. I don't like it when any race is being demonized, whether that's blacks, Asians, whites, or whoever, but being called a racist is what it is. I just shrug it off.
