[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Okay, then we can say "CAIR is making a mistake by aligning themselves with a hate group that upholds white supremacy."

But I also think you are splitting hairs too finely here. Just because a group is not themselves engaged in white supremacist violence, does not mean they are not white supremacist at the core. [/quote]

[b]There is a difference between White supremacy and White supremacist[/b] (the term Mink used). You can deny it all you want. I think what she said was offensive and harmful to all Muslim Americans and a slap in the face to a community whose kids have been called "terrorists" since they were little.[/quote]

Eh? White supremacists are people who support white supremacy. White supremacy is a belief supported by white supremacists. I honestly don't understand your point.[/quote]

You need to educate yourself. Look up a list of White supremacist organizations in the United States. Nobody refers to Moms for Liberty as a White supremacist organization, not even the SPLC. Words matter. Learn what they mean.[/quote]

DP. I'm not saying the so-called "Moms for Liberty" group is a white-supremacist or "Christian"-nationalist group. I'm saying white supremacists and/or so-called Christian nationalists believe the so-called "Moms for Liberty" group is white supremacists and/or so-called "Christian" nationalists. [/quote]

I don't know who you are trying to convince and of what, but you've failed.[/quote]
