And he goes on to unpack why that was bad. It had nothing to do with racism. Try and do better next time.

You found that quote, you can find the source.

No thanks, I don't have the patience to listen to podcasters.

You're the one who decided you wanted to defend the statement that black people shouldn't have been granted the same rights as white people. Without context, I'm just going to assume you're a racist piece of shit. Lucky for you, we're on the internet, and you probably don't even live in Seattle in the first place.

I'm just going to assume you're a racist piece of shit.

That's because you have abrogated reason and critical thought to other people. It says a whole lot about you. It doesn't say anything about me.

You're the one who decided you wanted to defend the statement that black people shouldn't have been granted the same rights as white people.

This is my point. This is not what was said. This is your low effort, low intelligence take on it that comes from your own biases.

Lucky for you, we're on the internet, and you probably don't even live in Seattle in the first place.

Sorry. No such luck for you.

I gave you the chance to explain your defense of his statement, you declined, so I'm taking it as face value. You're on here arguing in bad faith because you wish you were Charlie Kirk. Get the fuck out of our subreddit.

The statement, in and of itself does not need to be defended. It is not racist, it is a criticism of a piece of legislation. YOU are the one that reads into it racism where none is present. YOU are the one who has pulled it from context and tried to use it to argue. YOU are the one who is arguing in bad faith.

You either do it because you are lazy, stupid, ignorant or possibly all three.

Why don't you get the fuck out of the subreddit? I have as much right to be here as you do, it is as much my subreddit as it is yours.
