Social Media strikes back at alt-right

I know - it’s horrible. Saying hateful things about a group that thrives on hatred. I should be ashamed of myself.

Liberals loathe themselves (for good reason), so they just lash out as you have. It’s just the way you’ve been indoctrinated by decadent, socialist schools. It’s also the narcissistic liberal intolerance for any point of view but their own.

No. The subject was racial but he wasn’t degrading anyone based on their skin color.

What does “like Sambo” mean? Is it ever used to describe a white person? What about “shucking and jiving”?

Do you not know the story of Sambo?

What does cracker mean? Is it ever used to describe a black person? I’ve not seen Gavin in a racist light. He’s definitely controversial but his opinions are not based on racial hate IMO.

I think it’s hilarious that white men get offended by the idea that they might be called a cracker.

Why is that? Do you know where it comes from?

Here’s the thing, which is perennial on hannity.com–and among the right, at large (and true for many, many issues around race): This is a conversation that takes place almost entirely among themselves, for themselves, to reassure and assuage themselves. This is especially true in a practical political context. Arguments about whether the Proud Boys are racist or whether invoking Sambo (as McInnes does) is racist–it’s all feel-good internal marketing, essentially.

I was just on Kotaku In Action-that’s the Gamergste subreddit-saw an article on this and they were making almost word for word the same arguments. Weird.

And the same is true of the other pole.

Sambo was one of the first books to have a dark-skinned hero.

Any other racial epithets give you the giggles?

Cool. Any of those referring to people of color?

Have they ever kicked anybody from the far left off?

Well…

Silly man

Way to suck the outrage right out of the thread.
