I see him throwing the slurs people in his stream are using back at them. >Exactly how you describe black people acting is the impression I get dealing with the Alt Right. I’m really, I’m just not in the mood to deal with this kind of disrespect.” He's saying that these people are acting in exactly the manner they are accusing others of acting, and he's using their slurs to make the comparison.

Yeah no. > Maybe you’re just acting like a n____r, mate? Have you considered that? Do you think white people act like this? White people are meant to be polite and respectful to one another, and you guys can’t even act like white people, it’s really amazing to me.

  He's speaking from their perspective, clearly.

    I think that's plausible but ambiguous.

      It's about as ambiguous as whether you are a secret racist. This guy is arguing directly against out-and-out unabashed racists in the conversation. How much more anti-racist does one have to be in order to make it not "ambiguous" in your eyes?

        I think that particular sentence out of context is objectively ambiguous, since that particular sentence isn't qualified with some sort of arguendo disclaimer... In context, it seems much less ambiguous. There are a lot of people in this thread who are reading that comment as unambiguously racist. Maybe some of them are being intellectually dishonest, but I think at least some of them aren't. Generally speaking when multiple people read the same sentence and walk away with wildly different notions about what the speaker's intent was, that's an indication that ambiguous language is present.

  You're uninformed. The commenters said that "White people are meant to be polite and respectful to one another". From what I can gather, he's not making that statement; he's throwing their own crap back at them. In other words "you people say that white people are better behaved than black people, but look at how you're acting at this very moment."
