But he fades to a small shadow next to Hillary

Whatabout! Whatabout! Whatabout!


Sorry, Unless Hillary is speaking at CPAC (highly unlikely), she is not relevant to the discussion.

What I referred to cannot in any way be correctly described as just "disassociating from" someone. Maybe you should read the several examples I gave and think about it.
You provided contrasting examples of what you think "cancelling" means? Where?

Why was his animus against Jews the issue rather than his animus against whites?

We are different people.

If I find out what I consume is produced by a bigot, I ignore it, apologize it and see if I can find it from a different person. And I LOVE that this cartoon chose Gibson, Walt Disney (he's dead now), and Lovecraft (also dead now....and not super popular) to "prove" his point.


"Birds of a feather flock together as do pigs and swine, rats and mice will have their choice and so shall I have mine." So yeah, hang out and who you want; quote who you want. But don't you tihnk that it doesn't reflect on you.

Jesus had a relevant quote from this too. "A bad tree cannot bear good fruit". Matt 7:18

Well first, you didn't actually ask ME that question but I'll happily answer it as best as I can....
Why was his animus against Jews the issue rather than his animus against whites?
Why did you ask this question? Where is his animus against whites EXPLICITLY about whites? I don't recall reading that he didn't like white people as a group. Did you see that somewhere?

Such a strawman. It's fine to enjoy media produced by people with problematic views as long as you acknowledge that those views are wrong and separate them from the art itself.

It's quite a different thing to embrace actual propaganda that was explicitly created to promote said views.

Pleading ignorance? OK, well maybe there's a reason why you didn't read about it. Well, be ignorant no longer:

Much the same with Louis Farrakhan. He says nasty things about white people, people hardly notice, but when he says unflattering things about Jews, then comes the backlash.

Anyways, black antipathy to Jews is generally an extension of antipathy to whites - Jews are seen as the whitest of whites.

Sure I'm pleading ignorance. I don't share political views with the man as you do.

Frankly, he sounds more like an idiot than a racist. That logic is more strained than my pasta last night.

For the record, is it only 1 tweet now that is required to be considered racist? Does he have more? He doesn't describe himself as anti-white.

Not only that, CPAC invited him to talk. Why invite a racist black guy to the whiteiest gathering of whites to ever white?

You're replying to--and you quoted--a poster who said that he was talking about "black antipathy to Jews."

You think White Supremacists have never resorted to whataboutism?

I can assure you, they have.

Yep, he's an idiot.

I'm white, and I have melanin. Almost all humans have melanin.

The only people that lack melanin are .... albinos. And guess what, albinism is most common in the peoples of sub-Saharan Africa.

Much the same with Louis Farrakhan. He says nasty things about white people, people hardly notice, but when he says unflattering things about Jews, then comes the backlash.

I'm confused.

If Jews are the 'whitest of the white', and nasty things said about whites are generally ignored, then surely things said about Jews are the most ignored?

Wait.

It's almost as if historically oppressed minorities have a particular sensitivity to discrimination directed against them. Particularly when there is a power imbalance with potential to agitate for or produce violence.

It's not as if hate crimes against Jews in the US hit record levels in 2019, or something. Or that hate crimes against Jews have spiked since 2016.

The Ethiopian Jews will be surprised to hear this.
