Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

First, grammar is your best friend. Please use it properly. For all your region's love of white culture (as your senate speakers signature so blatantly displays) you sure don't do a good job of properly adhering to the rules of a "white language."
You do realize how immensely hypocritical your comment is right? You're literally saying that you should be given the freedom to spread values that are inherently going to push people out of this community. I'm THUNDERSTRUCK at the sheer audacity you have to state that.
The point of this liberation, whether it be written by separatists of your region or not, is that you were all caught red-handed with some damning evidence of your values and attitudes. You're right when you say you're not the only ones on NS, that's true. And the people who are very rightly offended by the words spoken within your toxic cesspool of a region have the right to craft ways to boot that out what they feel is hostile towards them. Tolerance is not giving people the right to spread intolerance. That's a false equivalency, so stop trying to use it to play victim and justify the hatred that your region so willingly accepts.
You can't expect people to simply sit there and choose to be offended and willingly accept the hatred being thrown their way. It's not weakness, it's a human response.
All this is is 1 thing and 1 thing only. Weakness. I don't know what I expected from someone who most likely spending all their time on the internet and probably on welfare,but this is ridiculous! Get a spine,people say things learn how to sit there and take it. And yes,people should be given the freedom to spread values that are inherently going to push people out of this community. Its a funny thing called the first amendment,but do commies believe those things again?

I Bolded the bit that might not be kosher for emphasis.

Let’s see here..we have TCB’s foreign affairs minister throwing around such terms such as white culture and white language, as well as still making the claims that our region is “toxic” (That term again?) in an apparent attempt to provoke a reaction. I don’t necessarily agree with all of Lalop’s points, though this is no way to respond. Then, you have your ending argument that our region accepts this behavior, which, in nearly ALL of our posts, we said we don’t! Could you at least pretend to have read or cared about any of the content in our posts?
I don’t know what I expected from someone in your position.
Yes, yes, yes I’ve seen these sad excuses and efforts to condemn the behavior that’s come to light. Doesn’t excuse the fact that the evidence I’ve seen points to the contrary. You say that you disagree, but actions speak louder, and form what actions I’ve witnessed I fail to see any meaning behind your words. You say your region does not accept this, when it is you yourself and members of your government who were caught saying these things. Even if you say “oh I didn’t mean it” or “oh I condemn that behavior now’ you yourself and your friends in here said those words, and you cannot unsay something.
As for my attempt to “provoke a reaction.” My good man, the truth often hurts and can be scathing. No sense is attempting to blanket it with euphemisms. You are not the victim, so stop using that subterfuge. It’s a poor attempt at it at best.
Now I have more pertinent matters than arguing with sad and disgruntled persons. Ciao!

Its sad to see how they garner what little support they have by slapping on buzzwords like fascist/ homophobic/ racist etc onto proposals in an attempt to drive up peoples emotions. The WASC has more or less become a means to promote the interests of regions.

This might also warrant a looking-at, emphasis mine.

I’ve bolded what I believe may, at most, be flamebaiting, as it certainly seems to be baiting in the least. I’m not sure whether it’d count as flaming or flamebaiting though.
