No, you see people pointing out OP's racism, which he doubled down and expanded on. Why do you not dislike his racism when you clearly dislike Tucker Carlson's?

A tired meme does nothing to change that
You're not leaving him with much. If he could simply admit or retract his own racism we could actually discuss what he has proposed. However, I'm not one to let racism by one of our posters simply slide by the wayside without calling it out.

Are you familiar with the long history of "dog whistling" (before Trump when folks used to talk in code. Sad that those days should be considered progress now).
We got a long way to go as a society. Still.
Yes, we do. We could start by calling out racism in all its forms when we see it. We could even do something as small as starting to do this on our message board. Let's see you give that a shot. I believe in you.
