You listed the 'very fine people' hoax so I don't think your judgement is very well calibrated here. There's a bunch of quotes with no context and some things that not even the most expansive definition of racism would cover. Tweeting about the squad? Leaving andrew jackson on the $20? Are you saying that land seizures and killing of white farmers don't actually happen in south africa? If the only source is 'the new york times reported' then Im sorry I just dont believe it after the russia nonsense.
- thebokehwokeh2 7y agoWhattaboutism is not a good rebuke of any of what I have listed above. The truth that your idol is a racist is very unfortunate as it is uncomfortable for you, isn't it. There are certainly a far greater example of racism exhibited by your emperor, but I can see a bad faith actor when I see one.
- gotoeleven 7y agoThere is no whataboutism in my response. Im honestly not sure what you're talking about. Maybe you mean the thing about south africa? The point is: how is it evidence of bigotry to be worried about land seizures in south africa? Thats not whataboutism, that's pointing out a non sequitur. The rest of your post is ad hominem.
