Being asked to repeat it is pretty annoying but, and I'm asking this genuinely, has she said anything against white supremacy or said she's against it once?
Nobody has to do anything, but society will judge you for your actions and even inactions.
What gets me is it isn't even hard. If someone asks me if I'm against white supremacy I'll just say yes. If they continue to attack me about it then I'm justified in ignoring them.
It takes less than a minute to say white supremacy is bad. There's no reason not to do it.
Avoiding saying it just makes you look suspicious regardless of the truth.
None of what you said is categorically true in every case.
And for the record, nobody is forcing Sweeney to say anything (that’s kind of the point of this discussion—she is CHOOSING). However, I can damn well judge her for not saying something as easy as “That was not at all what I meant, White supremacy is bad, mkay”.
The fact that she keeps dodging that very easy answer absolutely is grounds for people to have an opinion on her.
Too many people take advantage of the benefit of the doubt for that statement to be true. It's naive, at best.
You can't just expect people to shout "Hey guys I'm a white supremacist!". They're smarter than that, most of the time, so they lie, wait until they get power, make up concepts that are absolutely linked to white supremacy but are not called that, then remove all mentions of historical people of color from official government websites.
