    So you choose to not discuss racism. What a shame.

    Out of curiosity is anybody that doesn't agree with you among the same biased narrative?

    Don't answer I already know.

    ...but not people of color like Coleman Hughes, who are not buying into what he calls the media's "moral panic" over white supremacy...

    By racists. And racists still hate those who seek equality.

    OK. I'm going to share some information I just happened to come across. On September 15, 1963 four African-American girls were killed in 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. The church was bombed by four members of the KKK. The girl's names were: Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley.
    One man was eventually arrested for this bombing---many years later. Question: If this had been 4 Black men who killed four White girls in a church bombing do you think it would have taken very long to find them? Do think they would have been convicted of anything less than the death penalty? The answer to both questions is NO.
    There is the support for my statement.

    So you spent all this time setting up a question and then answered it with the only answer you would accept.

    Have fun in your echo chamber.

    I don't expect everyone to agree with me at all times. Sometimes I will tell people that we'll just have to agree to disagree. What do they call it when all posters in a thread agree with each other? An echo chamber?

    We know that conservative and Republican black people don't agree. I specifically went on a search for "anti-Trump" black Democrats and classic liberals to see what they were thinking about all the race riots. They don't agree either.

    The far-left race-baiting and white-shaming Cultural Marxists are a minority of the population who are being amplified by media to seem like they are the majority. It's pure propaganda.

    ~ Yes exactly. This is what media does - and it's very dangerous ! The minority is represented as the majority. Trump called it out by using social media and now he is target #1.
    I believe that most Americans who vote see what's going on.

    More "Fragile" white people worshiping in the new Church of White Racism, instead of doing something useful.

    Basic scientific literacy, of course it is. It's abductive logic.

    But I'm glad you agree with me that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Shucks, Pol, semantics IS politics. What would I call it when all posters agree with each other?

    Overmoderated.

    Semantics for understanding sure. Attempting to define your way out of something that's dishonest.
