This board is being hyper sensitive about that lately. My guess is as this boards profile gets higher (as it has lately) they are concerned about being classified as a "alt-right" haven and shut down by providers.

Even though as you point out just discussing ethnicity and history is not necessarily a condemnation of that ethnicity. BUT every major presence on the internet is infected with intense, pervasive and socially accepted condemnation of "white" people based on the actions of a small number of "white" people in history.

Far be it from me to point out that "white" people are NOT a single ethnicity, nor are they solely responsible for the history of slavery in the US. Native Americans owned slaves, even other black people owned slaves. In fact, it was "white" people that were the biggest opponents of slavery in the US and the Republican Party that led the political charge to end it.

I don’t really care about “every major presence on the internet.” I care about truth. I know you do, too.

So what do we do when we’re cornered in our own backyard?

Yeah, well my point about the pervasive anti-"white" bias on the internet is so obvious and accepted that it just becomes noise to most people, even people here.

I dunno man, I really don't. I get what the mods are worried about, unfair as it may be. My focus is on the positive, on supporting Trump and his supporters and America. It sucks that we have to be subject to this warped little lens in our discussion of topics in general.

I love having a place to support Trump, I really do. But if even this place puts topics like this off-limits, throttles the truth? Man, I just don’t know any more, it’s just so defeating. This kind of bullshit is exactly why there is no shortage of “doomers” in this place.

This is why getting rid of Section 230 is so crucial. If the rules apply to everyone equally, you won't be able to ban someone for innocently pointing out history while you dont ban someone for saying "White Lives Dont Matter", and if you do something that demonstrably unfair, you lose protection from liability.

There's no way big tech would get behind banning every BLMantifa activist from their platform.
