The Right and Left often use edits to highlight a statement to "brand" someone a radical. Sometimes its justified but often it isn't. Context matters.
Now, if there wasn't any mediating context, then yes, this person is a radical, but how would you know without seeing the full interview?
Yes, an organization who puts out an edict on their official website calling Jussie Smollett innocent, and a person who says that financial disclosures for non-profits are racist and therefore should not be required by law, I'm sure are people we can trust to come up with an alternative to having courts in society.
What is your alternative idea to "courts", Helios? And I did not bash blacks, liar. I'm bashing activists that are proposing nonsense. Nice that you see blacks as a monolith. Cut it out. 80 percent of black people do not want the police defunded. Stop lying and acting like YOUR views represent black people's views. I was merely responding to Nudge attacking gay rights activists and trying to lessen those achievements.

Patrisse Cullors, a BLM founder, said she found it "triggering" — emotionally compromising — when she hears about financial documents being made public.
Cullors claimed that activists’ lives are put at risk and that they endure trauma by having to disclose their charities’ finances, while also claiming the system "is being literally weaponized against us," the Washington Examiner reported.
"This doesn't seem safe for us, this 990 structure — this nonprofit system structure," she said. "This is, like, deeply unsafe. This is being literally weaponized against us, against the people we work with."
