Donald Trump and US politics

"

Gaaah! You beat me to that one!
If that doesn't confirm the Trump insanity, what else could it take?

If you think it's insanity to pander to some of his voters, you set the bar very low.

The "racism against white people" is something that's vastly blown out of proportion by right-wing media and insanity factories like T_D. Not only is the percentage of the population who holds these beliefs trivially small, they're not the ones in power. There's a new controversy with Republicans in power being blatantly racist every week (Facebook posts about lynching, racial epithets, etc.). Not so much on the left.

I've discussed previously how opposing racist groups are symbiotic, but in case you missed it: the conspiracy theory narrative of each is that the opposing racists (usually whites or Jews) have secretly taken control of most major social institutions to apply their persecution to the underprivileged class (that is, the "good guys"), and that the only path to victory is a racist movement uniting the underprivileged that retakes control of major social institutions. As such, the appearance of success of one feeds the narrative of the other, and they grow together.

Key word: appearance. White racists have a self-serving incentive to exaggerate the success of non-white racists, and vice versa. I don't have any trouble believing "racism against white people" is overblown (yet still existent) by sympathetic news sources... in the same way I have no trouble believing your own views on the pervasiveness of white supremacists are overblown. You would hear about some new overblown racist controversy on the Right every week from your biased news sources; you wouldn't hear about the overblown controversy on the Left each week from the likes of Breitbart, because you don't read that shit.

The reporting on these is interesting, because of the huge disparity between official, employee-generated content and unofficial, user-generated content. I think most Breitbart articles fact-check rather well; the employee bias isn't so much in how they cover, but in what they don't cover (which, thankfully, can be easily found at competing news sites). However, go to the comment sections of these articles and that's where the racists live. Breitbart doesn't have racists on its payroll — those suckers work for free.

Which branch of the left do you believe is the racist one?

The intersectional minority-identitarianism variety, commonly known as SJWs. If that's not specific enough for you, go to Sargon of Akkad's channel and pick a random "This Week in Stupid" video.

There's no such thing. It's propaganda BS created by racist outlets like breitbart and distributed through foxnews etc.

You forgot Russia mate.

That feel when someone obviously doesn't check your citation.

Sargon is a Russian agent after all.

I've explained to you before that these insane and outrageous characters you see in those right-wing hate videos are a vanishingly small fringe minority. The number of Americans who have those insane views can fit inside a small room.

Outside of those very few people, many of whose beliefs I'd agree are nuts and could certainly include anti-white racism, there's certainly not a significant overlap between regular liberals who fight for social justice (a group I'm in) and anti-white racists. Racism is antithetical to the social justice movement.

Racism is so common in the right that I honestly don't need to demonstrate it (though I still did) since we've all witnessed tons of it. It's so rare on the left that you had to bring up an actual boogeyman when I asked for an example. I know you love your false equivalencies, but even for you it should be obvious that this one's complete bullshit.
