Now, if I were to use you as an example, if I may... what don't you understand about what she said in the video you posted? Are you saying that the racism IS dissent and that she should support it because she supports dissent? Or are you saying that she shouldn't have called them racist because she should be supporting dissenters? |
Her assumption that they are doing it based on skin color is patently false.
Neither of your options are fully valid because the overwhelming majority of people at these events were there for idealogical and not racial motivations. To be completely clear though:
I didn't tell her to say that dissent was patriotic and then bash dissent 5 years later...those are her words. She is explicit in saying that anyone should be able to go out and dissent.
I don't expect her to support them though, I just expect her and others not to engage in this kind of deception where they are trying to convince people that the entire movement is based on racism. It's not, the very notion is ridiculous.
So I'm saying she shouldn't call them racists because they aren't racist!
