Now I don’t have to worry about becoming a white supremacist. That’s one more load off of my mind! ---

It’s a head scratcher there to tell if he’s defending the shooter against allegations of white supremacy, or white supremacists from allegations that they did this. ---

And isn’t wonderful that we can’t tell. It’s the breaking news thread and he can’t stop arguing about this bullshit. ---

Well you have desensitized everyone to claims of racism and now resort to claiming “white supremacy” is a significant force in American society. You have gone as far as claiming upwards of 40% of the voting public are white supremacists. When a legitimate white supremacist kills some people, the people you smeared as white supremacists for being anti-minimum wage or something may feel the need to defend their mislabeled form of white supremacy. For they have been labeled by academia and the media as white supremacists, and they don’t want to be associated with cold-blooded murderers. Similarly you will find all types of modern commies claiming actual commies like Mao and Stalin weren’t commies. ---

Somebody is mislabelled as a white supremacist, and their reaction is therefore to defend actual white supremacists in order to defend themselves? And to be proactive about it and jump in and defend faux white supremacists wherever possible. That is fucking insane. ---
