The ruling class created the alt-right because people were beginning to have a political awaking, with movements like Occupy Wall street and what not. Fascism is a tool for the ruling class to protect itself, they get people potentially angry with the establishment to think what’s really pro establishment is anti establishment. That’s why many libertarian magazines like Reason are funded by billionaires.

The reason why there were angry at Trump for saying that is because that’s not the point
 
How about whenever a Islamic terrorist attack happens, Trump addresses the US imperialism often fueling many of these terrorist acts  
Yeah  
That’s what I thought
 
He is basically victim blaming here  
plus even if ANTIFA were violent that doesn’t mean anything violence isn’t inherently wrong

The alt-right can be dangerous and stupid, yes, but i doubt it is funded by billionaires.  
Much like how i doubt that such a thing as a “globalist estabilishment” is factual.  
Plus, libertarians aren’t alt-right. Both terms are distinct from each other.

I’ve told you this before, and I will tell you again - you do not have a right to start fights with someone just because they have bad ideas.

I, for one, believe labelling yourself as “black” or “white” on the traditional basis of race depends mostly on what you identify as (though as long as it is noticeable by the eye).  
Still, that article was painful to read.

Exclude OURSELVES, meaning nobody in that article is forcing shit
 
You’re just looking for ways to be outraged about things.

@BadgingBadger  
There’s a difference from debate and straight up accusing someone being discriminatory of people for being “too white”.

@Cyborg_pony  
Oh right, because there’s some “White prejudice” going on right?
 
“Both sides” are so mean aren’t they?

Well, the author of the text, considerably, has it.  
In her words:  
In the face of all this, BIPOC have even taken the time to explain to white people and our own people why it is okay and possibly advantageous to have separate spaces.
Yet we still encounter white people who want to know why it’s okay for BIPOC to gather but not okay for white people to form their own separate groups.
Problem is when white people gather separately we end up with groups like the KKK, Stormfront and the Trump White House (please avoid ‘splaining about how the cabinet is not actually completely white).
Bottom line: When life, wellness, and happiness are at stake, Black, Indigenous and People of Color have a right to gather without white people in order to address issues that are important to them.
Or even just to gather socially without the fear or inconvenience of having to worry about whether white people will insult them or act awkward.
Similarly, darker-skinned BIPOC may also desire spaces where they can process and organize around the unique issues they face because of their closer proximities to Black and Indigenous skin tones and facial features and that us lighter-skinned people do not have to worry about.
 
You can believe systematic or statistical anti-white racism isn’t real. However, denying that white people can’t be stereotyped doesn’t make sense to me.

I wasn’t talking the author, I’m talking about YOU.
 
And it’s a fucking opinion piece, something that’s meant to be food for thought, not a goddamn law. And she was talking about herself, or is she not allowed to be introspective about issues? Oh, thinking about the ethics of race and culture is something only those scaaaaary SJWs do right? No need to be critical, everyone should just know their place and be a perfect little sheep.

That section is about a goddamn personal choice! You can disagree with it all you want, but don’t you dare try to make this something it’s not.

And I thought you were at least my comrade
 
I was mostly talking about ANTIFA and campus SJW’s when referring to the far-left.  
But don’t worry, buddy. I, too, agree with certain points of the marxist left.  
Heck, i can still call myself a marxist regarding certain issues.

Look, i can understand the point you’re trying to come across.  
But who’s prohibiting me from disagreeing with the article? It seems like you’re trying to, since, when i provided a specific paragraph detailing admitted racial bias from the author, you claimed it was “not was she was trying to say”.  
The thing i disagree on with racism in the US is that a good ammount of people believe being born with a certain ammount of melanin means that you have some special implied privilege or victimhood. That’s not how it works in my view. I mean, i do agree that blacks and POC form a bigger percentage of the poor populace than whites and that the existence of such poor blacks and POC can be traced to history and societal bias, but i don’t agree with the article’s implications.  
But… well, we have a voice of contradiction here, so it can be useful.

You know, you’ll probably getting this defensive over the article, because deep down you know there’s some truth to it, and if what’s in this article comes to pass. You’ll be cast aside like used tissue.
 
Not a good feeling is it?
 
To know that they don’t care about you. That they see you as no different, that the one part of you they cared about might become null.
