White Supremacy discussion thread

[Drew Durrnil]

we should make every race equal in population so white supremacy doesn't happen

[Paddy O Fernature]

Understanding someone and why the believe the things they do could indeed be useful for figuring out ways to peacefully change a persons opinion on a given topic, sure.



Exactly my point. Best thing you could do is not give them the time of day, which would deny them the platform of attention that any movement needs in order to gain any real momentum.



Funny, I don't remember said poster making that argument anywhere in their post. Perhaps you should re-read it?

A great example of someone who learned more about white supremacy in order to combat it was Daryl Davis, a black musician who made friends with the Grand wizard (and the grand wizard eventually left the KKK because of Daryl) I recommended that you watch his Ted Talk on how he approached the issue and shares a lot in common with me when it comes to learning about white supremacy

Interesting, I will have to take at least a curiosity look at the man later when I have the chance. Sounds like it could be an interesting story.

So long as we have freedom of speech, then yes, they should be allowed to express their views.

We also have the collective choice not to listen to said views however and choose to ignore them as well.

^ this. As long as there is no direct incitement

I agree, although me being a curious person, I like to hear what they have to say. Like why do they believe this; what is their logic for it?

Yes. White Supremacists are disgusting and their ideology deeply flawed, but the tenants of Democracy require that we let them say stuff. Doesn't mean we have to listen to em though

Well, it may be interesting but that doesn't mean that hating on non-whites is good, whatever logic they don't have.

I'm just pointing it out.

This thread is gonna be fun. Who wants popcorn?

That would do nothing to combat white supremacy.

[Aurevbush]

Klansmen are bad, nazis are bad.


My take...

[Paddy O Fernature]

we should make every race equal in population so white supremacy doesn't happen

So... you want to do what exactly, kill millions of innocent people so that everyone is equal population wise?

........

Yeah, let's not advocate for a genocide, Mmmkay?

Agreed.

make minorities breed more

Or equal in treatment?

[Nakena]

So you want to replace "white" populations because you are afraid of the possibility of white supremacy?

Or how about we settle our differences by listening to these people and to the root of the problem. Racism and white supremacy are taught, not something you are born with.

[Arisyan]

Huh, the thread made it past page 2. Im surprised. Since it'll stick around a bit longer, ill given my take.

You have no right to support taking away the freedom, life and rights of other people. White supremacy is literally murder, and allowing them to talk about it in a completely open sense is stupid. Same goes for other forms of race supremacy as well. You cannot give freedom of speech to people who support taking away the rights of others who are innocent.

Genocide is bad, but in your opinion breeding slaves are OK?

You can't have a civil discussion when one party's position is that anyone unlike them is inherently inferior.

Please no. This will lead to even more conflict and the white supremacists would gain power as more whites would join them.

You can't listen to them because they don't want to listen to you. If you do something as insane as insisting "the amount of melatonin in your skin doesn't determine the worth of your character" then they immediately close their ears. You HAVE to be close-minded to support white supremacy.

This thread's probably gonna be locked in like 5 seconds so get it all out while you can.

Funny, that's a two way street your on, not a one way lane.

This. Good thing white supremacists are such a very minute subset.

So when do we draw the line? For example, would you ban Black supremacy and nationalism? Because yes it is real. Do we now ban all people who support America from talking because America put Japanese people in camps, injected STDs into African Americans, and had made racist actions against minorities?

Democracy mandates that we do, freedom of expression and speech extend to all people, even them.

a mix of the two

That would apply to a number of other ideologies and some religions then too, if consequently applied.

Okay? I have no idea what you're trying to get at but I'm sure it's very clever.

That logic is not gonna get you anywhere. The truth is most people won't listen to you, but it is still your utmost duty to respect them. Be the better and bigger person, because trust me, people can learn a lot from your actions and could break barriers and walls.
