    This is the most profound and moving and true speech about war, or about any subject, that I have ever heard in my life.

    Much appreciated, Chris. Thank you.

    I think he appeals to reason just fine.

    I don't want anyone branded, but I would like a just equitable society. Why is that such a bad thing?

    So you want a White girl born today to be branded as possessing the evil of "white privilege" and to pay for it her whole life, let you continue to maintain you are not Anti-White.

    You aren't fooling anyone.

    there has been, and to some extent still is white privilege, and I take the egalitarian view that all people should be treated equally. Nobody should suffer. That is the whole point.

    So you lecture anti-Whites on all the anti-White programs on TV? You speak out against the concept of White privilege that teaches a child born today that she is evil and must pay for past sins her entire life?

    I didn't think so.

    Scratch an anti-racist, you find an anti-White.

    Sorry, but I'm against racism, and I'm white, and I'm not against myself!

    "Anti-racists" talk to us about two things:

    1. How White people are inherently evil, how they are responsible for their ancestors misdeeds, and how White people don't actually exist. All of this leading to the direction of a world without White children - genocide.

    2. How they're not anti-White.

    Who do you think you are kidding?

    That's why we all know anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.

    Your hate filled response is exactly the point he is making. You are part of the contagion.
