Why in the US are the Christians the racists?
Although thinking about it Jesus was kinda racist!

LOL It's fun to watch the usual suspects double down making further accusations of racism. Apparently, pointing out that something isn't racist makes you a racist.
I think that it can get to a point, where seeing racism around every corner is both unhealthy, and a form of racism itself.

It would seem then that common interest is the reason why that all of the naive and intolerant bigots appear to be the retards on the left.

Can someone explain to me what identity politics means? I googled it and read some stuff but still don't get it...
"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."

This is silly. For all the times the bigots of the world say "Islamophobia" is not racism ... here we have someone writing that disliking someone for holding a point of view is "racism".

Ok, so if you are intolerant of intolerance it makes you intolerant and bigoted.
Am I getting it right?

It's simple: it means defining one's political views through the lens of group identity.

Can someone give me an example? Still lost... :/

The KKK or Black Panthers would have identity politics, so they have that in common.
Maybe they could use that to come together.

The Paradox of Tolerance
Philosopher Karl Popper defined the paradox in 1945 in The Open Society and Its Enemies Vol. 1.
Quote:Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.
