Being accused of racism should be actionable as defamation considering how much harm it can cause a person and how little evidence is needed.

Hate speech

No such thing as hate speech.

I upvoted you and the guy you’re responding to. Him because hate speech rules exist and we should fight back with them. You because hate speech rules shouldn’t exist.

It likely is in most states. Highly state-law dependent however

Yeah this is a dumb thread. Had him with the race baiting charge and then blew it when he said there's no such thing as white Hispanic. However, I do know that police do not identify Hispanic as a race, which is true. We don't call English cultured people "white anglos" or "black anglos".

Also, there is no such fucking thing as "Latino". It does not exist. That's about the only real example of cultural appropriation that I've ever seen. They're Hispanic, they're descended from Spanish conquerors.

They have less to do with Latin, and the Romans, than a bowl of spaghetti.

Yeah it's meant to include the Brazilians and the rest of south and central America in one giant category. Brazilians are descendants of the Portuguese empire.

Hell even Brazil has three distinct ethnic groups in the country. The idea of claiming them all as one opaque thing is just absurd.

That's latinoamericano, not Latin. Romans never set foot in the Americas and are Latinos.

Wow. Not only are you wrong about Latino but you doubled down by claiming Romans don't eat spaghetti alla carbonara.

The Romans spoke Latin, were they not Latinos enjoying their spaghetti?

According to Joe Biden, they ain't black if they don't vote for him.

Fuck yes.

Report him to Twitter too so they can do nothing about it and then his lawyer can include Twitter in the lawsuit.

He accuses EVERYONE of being a "suspected white supremacist" because the only thing he needs to say to make it true is declare that he, himself, suspects it. His idiot fans eat it up.

Wait I thought it was racist to call them Hispanic???? Aren't they violating their own through crimes???

Also the cops pretty brown. My brother gets that brown when he actually goes outside instead of gaming all day. And yes he is of "Hispanic descent"

I don't understand how this guy's famous. He's noticeably retarded. I'm not just claiming all leftists are idiots right now, I mean he specifically over the years has demonstrated himself to be substantially less intelligent than his peers.

He doesn't need Tariq's lawyer's address. In every state I am aware of, service is proper when sent directly to Tariq. May need to hire a process server in some states, others allow service by first-class mail with postage fully paid.

I'm a long haired Indian and I get people calling me a white supremacist because I support Trump.

No, they shouldn't do this. There is absolutely no legal basis for this at all, and he will lose for sure if he tries to sue for defamation over this. You can call someone a white supremacist outright, and it's not defamation because they can think that you are. You'd have to prove that they knew what they were saying was untrue to have any legal basis, and the standards for that are extremely high.

But Tariq is even qualifying it by saying suspected white supremacist. I'm not a lawyer, but I think I can still say there is absolutely no way that you'd win any lawsuit regarding this, whether it's for libel or defamation.

No, he can't. You will not win that libel suit. You'd have to prove he actually knew the statement was untrue to win. And since it's actually his opinion that you are a white supremacist, it's impossible to win, even if he outright calls you one. And in this case it's suspected white supremacist. As long as he suspects it, he's fine to say it. Why do you think all the media gets away with this stuff constantly? That's how the courts are ruling. As to the legal reasoning why this is, I can't really tell you because I'm not a lawyer, but this is how things go.

This would backfire majorly in many different ways in my opinion. But of course, I'm not a lawyer, so consult one instead of me. I just listen to lawyers talk about this stuff online, and they all say this. Libel is very hard to prove in general, and a statement like this is basically impossible to be considered libel because of the qualifier of suspected. Even if that qualifier wasn't there, I still don't think you'd ever win. If you could, the media wouldn't say these things. There would be greedy lawyers all over the country/planet frothing at the mouth at the idea of suing these media companies for millions. And therefore the media companies would never say these things for fear of being sued in to oblivion.

Yeah, I don't really understand the legal intricacy of this, but I do agree with you that it's very wrong and something may need to change. Labeling someone in this way could lead to major negative consequences for him.

But I think ultimately the problem is that this was not stopped earlier. This accusation should hold no weight, and the root of the problem is cultural. So I really think this is an ugly symptom of a cultural cancer, and we should focus on curing the cancer.

Well, there is a vast difference between being proud of your "race" and thinking your race is superior to all others.

That's how you get deathcamps and shit.

2
rnoot 2 points ago +3 / -1

Large fractions of the populations of other races all feel that their race is superior to all others. They would happily put you in one of those camps where you will get to huff your own farts over being a saintly non-racist for a few weeks until they get around to slaughtering you. People of African descent in particular are the single most rapidly growing demographic on the planet, they don't need any virtue signaling baizuo nanny cucks to protect them, they do fine on their own.

It's ok to be white. It's not ok to think that they should be the master race or some damned foolish thing like that.
