Neither one. You just can’t have it your way with this. Your partisans show their contempt for others in the society and expect to get a pass. No. They said what they meant and they meant the plain words of what they said.
No one, including her, has given a plausible rationalization of her comments that provide an alternative meaning to the one taken by the white nationalists, the racist freak, and everyone else. If you have one, I am all ears.
You claim contempt. But these statements of HRC and Obama are, as I have pointed out many times to you, far deeper than what you allow. No one needs a pass from your claims.
No. By your writings you have shown that you are not “all ears”.
Oh I truly believe their expressions were indications of far deeper contempt than most believe. I agree with you to that extent.
It takes s very special kind of blind eye to intentionally ignore overt racism from whatever the source. There are enough quotes out there from BLM leaders that ignoring it is equivalent to ignoring white nationalists.
To compare the likes of ML King to BLM is unimaginable.
BLM has frequently disavowed violence, and quite frankly, even the few associates or members who the accusation might stick still don’t come close to the KKK at its height; when it had members at federal, state and local levels, and whose reign of terror over African Americans in the areas of the country where its influence was strongest was frankly extraordinary. You are indeed invoking a false equivalency.niceatheist:

I think you’re intentionally missing the point.
Agreed.
Oh, I’m not missing the point. The point is if we as Americans do not respect racism from all sources, it will devour the republic. If conservatives do not call out and expell the so-called alt right, it will hurt the movement which a movement for individual rights. Kessler is a pathetic and despicable human being.
Read what I just wrote.
Then return to the call of don’t kill our kids. And spread that call to the society at large.JonNC:
There’s a big difference between “we’re better than them” and “please don’t murder our children”.
I’ve read what you’ve written. I still don’t know exactly who you mean by “BLM.” As I said, it’s more of a slogan than an organization. Which organization using that name are you talking about?
As others have pointed out, BLM isn’t an organization in the sense of a leadership. It’s a number of different groups, with some complimentary aims, but all in all, it’s not the equivalent of the KKK in the slightest. It’s more, like, say, some Protestant churches; some general commonality but lots of independence.niceatheist:

If liberals do not do the same with BLM and Antifa, it is exactly the same. They are not liberals.
Defending Jeong is the same as defending Kessler.
If BLM wants to return to the message of police brutality, I’m with them. If they want to push the identity politics and do-called white privilege, that’s overt racism, and no better than the KKK.
I am always open to a cogent argument and new genuine information.
Let’s hear it.
So sad for you to harbor such beliefs.
It is a tired old excuse claiming Fox News did this or Breitbart did that. Their members speak for themselves.
The true equivalency stands, and I find the defense of such racism sad
Really? What’s the body count attributable to the Klan, versus that attributable to whatever you mean by “BLM”?
You already did.
So realistic.
