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.
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?
Interesting use of past tense in that last part, implying that the US doesn't still make "racist actions" against minorities.
You draw the line at that which oppresses people. Black nationalism/supremacy is a common superficiality to try and say "See, they're bad too!" when much of what is accused of being "supremacy" is often more striving for black equality. Does black nationalism exist? Sure. But are we going to try and insist that black supremacists are as bad as white supremacists when one literally wants to go back to enslaving the other? False equivalence, my my my!
And for the record, I support getting rid of overt patriotism anyway. America should confront its past instead of pretending it doesn't exist. So yes.
