Sure you did, right here, complete with an explicit reference to racism:

That reads plain as day to me.

You don't say.

In reference to the bolded:
Right, but I've repeatedly stated that the nazis/supremacists don't fall under this category, since they have already made it clear that they are racist.
As for the strawman, I honestly was not trying to do that. I feel like we are arguing because I refuse to call all these other people racist, but that's why I asked, so correct me if I'm wrong.

I am saying that the reasons I have been given for their continued display, every last one of them, has been rooted in a racist revision of history.
That's fair enough. But what are you arguing about with me?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
