As a person that has been spitted on and yelled at by racists, including one guy wearing an infowars t-shirt, I stand by what I said. Stormfront is a cesspool of racism and bigotry. Breitbart is a cesspool of misinformation.

  I agree with both those statements, but I don't agree with your preemptive ad hominem attack against people who disagree with you.

  I have been spat on called a "white cunt" by a person of color for just sitting on a bus doing nothing. However, black people can't be racist. And all white people are racist. And if a white person denies it, it is proof that they are racist. So it wasn't his racism. It was entirely my fault for being white. I should have been born to parents of different skin color. Then no matter what I did I wouldn't be a racist.

    Let's dissect this a little bit... > I have been spat on called a "white cunt" ... for just sitting on a bus doing nothing. I am sorry that happened to you, that sucks. > by a person of color If that person was incited to attack you because of something they read online, would this world be better if those websites did not exist? Or at least, if they were not returned as search results in Google? I think the answer to that is yes. > However, black people can't be racist. Everyone can be racist regardless of race. > And all white people are racist. It is stupid to deny that being a racist was normal and socially accepted until just few decades ago, and that a portion of the population today do not agree with desegregation, and do not agree with diversity. Are those the majority? No, but they do exist and their numbers are significant enough to be a problem. > I should have been born to parents of different skin color. Then no matter what I did I wouldn't be a racist. Wrong conclusion.

  I mean, yes, Stormfront is extremely racist. You could be right about Breitbart, but imo there's definitely misinformation coming from every angle of the political spectrum. After all, division and hatred sells. I do wish we could all get along
