This is a very forgiving point of view. Institutional racism is real and because of that it can't be undone by just pretending everyone is equal all of the sudden. It is much more nuanced than you make it out to be. That being said, many of the people that twitter banned are just straight up racist and xenophoic/intolerant speech should not be protected.

>Institutional racism is real Any evidence of this claim? Cause as an outsider to the US I see a black president and a lot of reversed-racism (affirmite action I think you ppl call it)

  Sure, the way the law works is different for black communities. For example, http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/06/news/ferguson-arrest-warrants/ http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/06/news/ferguson-arrest-warrant... shows that people in Ferguson are being arrested for things that wouldn't even be considered a crime where I live. Compare that with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Couch https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Couch or http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/27/us/oregon-standoff-ammon-bundy-acquittal/ http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/27/us/oregon-standoff-ammon-bundy... and you will begin to see how crimes committed by white people are often punished by a slap on the wrist when the same crime committed by a person of color would land them in jail.

    After the whole year of Clinton propaganda the Clinton News Network is a joke to me, it's basically NK tier "news" (propaganda). Besides that what You said is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdotal_evidence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdotal_evidence Please give me some scientific articles (there should be a plethora of them considering how hot this topic is) with actuall statistics and measurments that would support this claim. In my opinion this is a victim complex (similar to the Jews and Holocaust) where people want to milk historical events for their own personal gains
