Black conservatives such as Candice Owens also talk about this. Basically one side will label any idea they don't like as racist and call black conservatives white nationalists etc.. The other is saying that there should be diversity of opinions including ones that may be uncomfortable and even racist because ultimately they believe the bad ones, such as racism will get weeded out. The other issue is that the race card has become so abused in the US that it has lost meaning. When black conservatives are labelled white nationalists 1+1 is not equaling 2.

She's a failed Youtuber making a second go of it as a political commenter, by way (literally) of Infowars. There are serious black conservatives. Tim Scott, for instance. Michael Steele. Crystal Wright, maybe. Find one of them being called a "white nationalist", rather than trying to read tea leaves out of the reactions to an Internet troll.
