    According to their leader, If he doesn't vote Biden, he isn't brown.

    Apparently the ability to interpret basic english becomes impossible for lefties when someone on the right speaks.

    This is REAL simple.

    Vivek condemned white supremacy and ALSO all other forms of racial discrimination. Just because he also mentioned other forms of racial discrimination does NOT mean he DIDN'T condemn white supremacy.

    Apparently when it comes to condemning white supremacy, if you also mention you're against other forms of discrimination, that's not good enough for the left and it doesn't 'count' as condemning white supremacy.

    White supremacy is the belief that the white race is superior to other races, which most certainly is not a form of discrimination.

    What you described is the definition of racism, or at least as I've known it for decades. My understanding, based on what the left identifies as being of a white supremacist nature, is that white people dominate or control something. However, since the Obama years, everything has been called white supremacy or racist, even chess because white moves first.

    Because he didn't want to commit to a straight and unambiguous answer for some reason.

    What part of he condemns all forms of discrimination is confusing?

    More so historicaly that the white race is human and other races like blacks are sub-human.

    Discrimination includes white supremacy as well as other firms of prejudiced based views and actions.

    Why didn’t the reporter just ask him if he condemns discrimination and racism instead of dragging white people into it? Her question was as inappropriate as it would have been if she asked if he condemned black on black crime.

    It's worse than than just wanting to draw attention to a group of people and vilify that group. They are upset because he rejected all forms of racism.

    The real reason they are upset is because they are proponents of other forms of racism. And by rejecting all forms of racism, he has made himself an enemy of the left.

    He did, you just don't like the way he did it because it doesn't suit your agenda.

    I already detailed that he did do it....it's crystal clear. That you are choosing to argue is based purely on agenda and not facts.

    Here's another angle. The reporter believes whites are racists and by asking VR about supremacy she's thrusting her beliefs on the public. If VR condemns white supremacy, then she can argue that no one can condemn something that doesn't exist and his condemnation validates her beliefs.

    His answer was a yes. It included not only the specific sort of discrimination by color asked of, but ALL discrimination by color. Which, of course, includes the specific type inquired of.

    Do you believe we should be able to eat horse meat? I believe we shouldn't be able to eat ANY meat.

    BUT YOU DIDN"T SAY WE SHOULD'NT EAT HORSE MEAT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    ^ That's what it looks like.

    If you want civility, then don't do exactly the uncivil thing that everyone knew you would do, and you were even warned about as being expected.

    To speak of black people as if they are a monolith, and all have the same barriers, or to suggest that one struggling X means the others are struggling X is racist.

    And it was the right answer. It answered the specific question by making an even broader statement. Being against all racism is the right answer, unless the questioner is herself racist.

    yeah because it’s kinda like how they say that saying “all lives matter” is a bad thing even though they probably agree
    You see, agreeing with the Marxist commi left is not enough. You have to say it the way they want as well. Only commies believe in compelled speech. im so happy Vivek doesn’t cave to these commies

    It's a free country - he can answer any question any way he wants.

    "Progressive" fascists disagree.

    Yes, sorry. Presuming I a have this situation or that opinion simply because you know my skin tone and eye shape is racist.
