[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate splitting hairs on this topic, but I think the distinction is an important one. Moms for Liberty is absolutely a hate group that upholds white supremacy. However, it's not a "White supremacist" group in the way most people understand that term - to refer to groups that explicitly and often violently uphold the notion that White people are superior to other groups. I think Mink was really stretching on this and unfortunately and unintentionally perpetuates a discourse about Muslims as violent terrorists that is really not helpful.[/quote]

Well said.

And the people on twitter going to the mattresses for her "nothing she said was wrong" are showing their true colors.

"[b]This is a person I like, therefore I am going to ignore how problematic her comments were"[/b][/quote]

I feel like this is 100% the way most people engage in discussion these days. Even very educated people. There seems to be absolutely no allowance for shades of gray or different perspectives.[/quote]
