Stop blaming his mannerisms for your low comprehension.

[tenbull5]

Listen to him with your ears, not your eyes.

[megamarsvin]

Every time I hear that stupid, stupid line I laugh and cry a little at the same time.

[CosmosOfBeauty]

Can you expand upon what is the "obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against White people"?

[molly Ring]

That is just an attempt to marginalize and dismiss any discussion of White Genocide without having to deal with it.

You name call, then avoid the issue. Get some moral courage and address White Genocide.

Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White

[Donaldo]

Actually both you and these people who "say there is a RACE problem" sound like Nazis to me.

[sedeslav]

Socio-Kapitalism mayby?

[molly Ring]

People say there is a RACE problem. People say this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY and ONLY into White countries.

People say the only solution to the RACE problem is if ALL and ONLY White countries "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-Whites.

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against White people, Anti-Whites agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionje­ws.

Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.

[TheMinisterjaime]

I heard in TV, Chinese people in spain who thinks that If you have more than 35 and you still works for somme one else, you are a stupid! Is this a kind of solution? It associates capitalism and human ages, you are proletarian till you are young but you will become a good capitalist, business man and maybe rich as you get old! So the resentment is canalized to this goal.

[Soixante68]

He sweats knowledge. If you lick him your tongue becomes sapient.
