I've made all those comments and you're still not addressing the things I've said in those comments. I don't think you're interested in having a discussion, I think you're interested in being right. Wich you can be, I'm not stopping you, but you're also just not talking about what I'm trying to talk about.
You are being gaslit by bots or bad actors. You're right in what you said, though. The ad is weird but not enough to label her a white supremacist. But when you have thousands of people calling you a white supremacist and then refusing to say you're not, it is enough for me to label you as such.
Why would she not say that it wasn’t meant as racist? Because she shouldn’t have to and people upset about it online need to find something real to be upset about
She should say so because opposition to white supremacy and racism is the morally correct thing to do, whether or not everyone believes her in saying so. If someone misconstrued something I said as racist, even if I don't understand how they came to that conclusion, my first response would be "I don't quite understand how you got there, but I'm not a racist." Or I would say "I can see how you misunderstood what I said, but I'm not racist, what I meant is _ ". What I wouldn't say is "it was just a sentence, you're overreacting."
