His posting of a video of a man cursing at Joe Scarborough sends a broader message: If elected, he’ll use state power to come after countless other Americans.

    White isn’t about who you were born to. It’s about who you hate.

      I understand the sentiment, but I can’t agree with this. Plenty of business owners in China placing signs like “no Africans allowed” at their entrances. They’re not white.

        This was specifically in the context of American white nationalism. Pointing out Chinese policies is very much missing the point.

        That being said, I’m not here to argue. If you want to point out that a pithy rhetorical phrase is lacking in nuance, I’ll be the first to say you’re absolutely right.

            I don’t know, mate. Maybe some folks needed to be told. I do sometimes have an overly optimistic appraisal of my fellow humans. Keep on trucking.
