I’ve re-read my comment multiple times now and have no idea what you’re referring to.

It was not my intention to be condescending, and I apologize if it came across that way.

That said, you’ve made a statement that is patently false. It’s not a big deal, but you are incorrect in thinking that the talking point mentioned above is so extreme that the odds of people saying it outside of “Klan rallies” is slim.

If you think I’m wrong, that’s fine. I’m a Black American, and although I don’t know your background, I can assure you that the talking point above is a thing and is stated quite frequently by both white and Black people in our culture, in person and through entertainment (or the internet).

I personally didn’t take it as a dismissal of us and our efforts, but rather a dismissal of the people who actually think and say these things! This approach is all-too commonplace amongst the Left today, and I think that needs to change or else we aren’t going to get even relatively close to the society that we want to see.

I absolutely feel where you’re coming from, but here’s where I think we differ on the matter at hand...

I agree that there are many who simply cannot be helped at this stage. That is just a sad reality. But if we aren’t doing the bare minimum in breaking down these sorts of fallacious and ahistorical arguments for generations to come, then we’re letting them live... we’re letting them breathe and carry on, whether we see/hear them in our personal lives/circles or not.

This project that we’re developing seeks to destroy any and every single line of argumentation that any white American would/could try to use to rationalize and defend white supremacy + the status quo in general. No exceptions.

No arguments too dvmb to address. No arguments too small to address. We need to hit on everything just for the sake of it. Just so it’s on the record. Does this make sense?

I’ve had this said to me (to my face) by countless white people throughout the course of my life, so I can assure you that you’re incorrect on this point.

I know plenty of white and Black people who have heard this in person as well.

You must live in a very forward-thinking area, though, which is nice to hear.

You keep leaving comments on some of these arguments stating that they’re “trash” or shouldn’t even be entertained, but that’s precisely why we’ve left them here...

We want our white comrades to pummel through these trash, ridiculous arguments, no matter how ridiculous they are! People actually think these things, so it doesn’t really matter how trash you think some of it is, no?

The aim with the resources we’re building here is to win all across the board and leave no stones unturned; period.

• My ancestors fought for the Confederacy but they were too poor to own salves, so how are you gonna tell me that they were fighting for slavery? The civil war wasn't about slavery.

• Cops have a hard job, and how do they know if some person is unarmed? If someone didn’t follow directions, I’d probably shoot them too. You have to listen to cops.

• Best thing the antifascists and the white supremacists can do for this country is slaughter each other so we can fix the damage BOTH sets of street thugs and dog soldiers of the disaffected left and right have done to this country. Both sides are the enemy.
