Yes I understand that is his point. Do YOU understand just how offensive his manner of making his point is?

I can make the point that the SAT is inherently racist and should be abolished (whether you agree with this or not). Would you like it if I made that point by saying. "OO thinks black children don't deserve a chance to succeed. WHY DO YOU HATE BLACK PEOPLE, OO? MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST GO AHEAD AND JOIN THE KKK IF YOU HATE BLACK PEOPLE SO MUCH!".

Which to me demonstrates that you only understand HALF of his point... since his positions are quite often (even sometimes on here) met with charges that the speaker 'hates black people' or 'should join the kkk' or is a nazi etc etc etc.

He says it the way he says it to drive home the point that 'the collective left' (meaning mostly media but also internet trolls) QUITE OFTEN accuse ANY resistance to 'progressive ideas' as coming from hate. He is giving you what he feels he gets.... with specific intent. Sauce for the gander.

As to why I personally don't respond to more of what he says (if you care) .... I don't read a lot of his posts... at least not in depth. I mean no offense to him in doing so, I'm just not as interested in learning more about his perspective... because I'm familiar with it and like OO, support his goals even if I don't support his methods.... much as I took a lot of issue with Trump's style, but not his content or intent. I HAVE had pms with him (as I have with others; I don't know him I don't think) and encouraged him to adopt a different tone, but he's an adult and I'm not his daddy.... and best I know, he's not breaking any rules.
