... I guess he mention some things against a group of people and it caused a uproar on this campus. So much anger it protestors against him speaking resorted in violence and anti Spencer chants. I'm suspicious of this characterization. There is a violent semi-organized group called antifa that just loves violent action. They thrive on it. Consider the violent gangs in some cities which convert black youth to develop a taste and love for violence. The antifa do something similar to middle class kids, mostly white youth. The goals are different, but some parts of the dynamic are the same. Yes, Spencer often says horrible, deeply offensive things. But that's only one part of the equation regarding this violence. Responsibility for the violence does not rest at Spencer's feet, and we shouldn't ignore the culture of violence at work with the antifa. |

MsHarmony: I feel that freedom of speech is paramount, I feel that there are always consequences to speech but that there should not be legal ramifications unless such speech intentionally guides and instructs others on how to cause physical harm. .... I believe in Mr. Spencers right to free speech like anyone else, I do not have to agree with what he is saying. The natural consequences of free speech, unlike legal ramifications, is exposure of one's beliefs and values to others, which in turn can cause either allegiance or alienation Host39: Ms. Harmony, You now this is going to sound funny coming from a guy that's anti establishment minded but you right. Regardless if you a supporter or hater of him, and his words he using he still have the right to voice his views without violence. People don't have to agree but that's the wonderful thing about human beings we can agree or disagree and keep moving. As longs as harm or violence against anyone is done well....we have to let them speak. I'm with you on that. Everyone here seems to agree on these points, and I think that's wonderful. There is a mass ideological indoctrination process going on in universities right now which is completely opposed to free speech. They *say* they support free speech, but in reality its only if they get to decided what is allowed to be said. This is why so many people are being de-platformed. Currently, its being done by liberals. But imagine if conservatives did it, too. Imagine if liberal speakers were simply not allowed to speak in conservative areas. |

I can honestly say that you should have pride in who you are, and I can see that. Love being white, teach your kids about there heritage rather they Irish, Italian, Polish, German....Heyyyyyy!.. or Scottish. But when people use that method of self awareness the wrong way with" You Better than this person" " If I see this person in my neighborhood, I'm place a burning cross on there lawn", or " If you have economic power and you teach violence, sexism, and classism then yeah that person would be considered racist to me. This is a wonderfully tolerant and respectful attitude to have towards others and their views. On the whole, I think we were moving in the direction of this kind of healthy attitude for most of the last 50-60 years, and only recently have we started regressing. |

When did Mr. Spencer stand on a corner and screech about killing black babies? Until he does, maybe he shouldn't be considered racist because king shabazz isn't considered a racist...

I believe there is a misunderstanding about what freedom of speech means,,,there is no place that anyone should have to allow people to say whatever they want freedom of speech only refers to legal ramifications and congress in my home, I can make rules of what is appropriate and welcome and that is true anyplace we go,,,, the people paying the bills get to decide , whether it is the parents and taxpayers in a school, or the hosts of an event,,,, its not liberal or conservative, its just 'preference' for those who pay the bills,,,, I have seen enough Fox to know that conservatives are not exempt from catering speech to their preferences,, like anyone else,,, |

Shabazz is a racist and talks about the evil white man. No different than the other racist preaching the same. They are no di#erent than the white supremacist. How is black power different then white power? Where is Asian power? Jewish power, etc?
Racism isn't exclusive to whites |

I have no idea of who he is nor do I care who he is. This appears to a race baiting subject that serves no good purpose to anyone. JMHO But, if that's your thing, knock yourself out. You are absolutely positively right. Nothing more then ANOTHER race baiting thread. |

So in time you will be talking amongst yourselves..because people are sick of it... as you can clearly see is happening already.

The better issue is why did Trump through and executive order remove all surveillance of white supremacist groups. The fbi stated that you had a seven times greater chance of being killed by a supremacist than a Muslim. Where is the outrage after Trump attempted to stop Muslim from six countries all those who supported Trump could say if an American dies because of a person from one of these countries, then the judge is guilty of murder. How come you do not apply that logic to Trump as one American died in New York from a white supremacist/ |

any sub dividing of the citizenry leads to discrimination we are americans and better yet earthlings |
|
|
|
and tall and short, and white and black, and ohioans, and nevadans, and english speakers and bilingual and trilingual, and philosophy or education majors, ,,
and many more groups and sub groups that are a part of categorizing the billions on the earth,,,, nothing wrong with those categories, they are reality, if they are used to point out subtle similarities and differences and not to oppress or dehumanize,,,, |
