We aren't forbidden, but the unfortunate reality is that we have to deal with the fallout caused by people who abused the platform.

The swastika was a holy symbol in the Far East for centuries. Do you think people are able to still use it post Nazi Germany? Does anyone dare wear a Charlie Chaplin mustache since Hitler?

If you want to advocate for the interests of the white community, you just have to do it without invoking the abuse of the past. No, you can't wear white hoods and burn crosses.

As far as double standards go, consider that the Black Panther Party was dissolved in 1982. If someone were to resurrect it and try to call themselves Black Panthers today, I honestly believe that society as a whole would consider that just as unacceptable.

Oh, ok, I have to accept open discrimination against my children in education and the job market because of the Nazis.

That makes perfect sense. Really a novel angle you're pushing.

Hmmm, wait, I HAVE heard this argument before. It's the same one the left uses when they want to promote the invasion of our nation by millions of foreigners.

Oh, are your kids Asian? Because Asians are actually the ones most likely to be rejected from prestigious universities due to quotas.

You have a serious problem with conflating issues. In one post you talk about "advocating for the interests of a community" and then in the next post you jump to discussing affirmative action in higher education admissions or the job market.

Completely different topics. If you insist on putting words in my mouth then you can go ahead and continue my side of the conversation for me and spare me the notification bells, thanks.

That's because he has no leg to stand on. You're being reasonable in the circumstance we just happen to be in. Hes being unreasonable to the point of potentially driving voters out. Keep up the hard work pede. Theres a lot of them out there.

You make good points but there are a couple things I still disagree with.

Beyonce was definitely criticized for that performance, however, you are right to point out that the overwhelming majority of black voices called it justified in order to bring attention to the Black Lives Matters movement. That does seem hypocritical, so I stand corrected regarding "society as a whole".

Black Panther the comic was written in 1966 so I don't think you can really consider a movie by the same name based on that source material a revival.

The guy I was replying to was talking about "children" in the context of racial identity. Being proud of your own white identity is one thing, being proud of having white kids is an obvious dog whistle to "racial purity" and "heritage" proponents.

"It's OK to be white" was a brilliant campaign because it showed how the left invents their own offenses. It was the left that equated "It's OK to be white" to be synonymous with "White Power". That was the genius of it. Exposing the delusion.

But surely you can agree that if people had just gone around printing up signs that literally said "White Power" that would have been an entirely different thing.
