19 say that the white supremacists deserve "general respect" ???
Our nation is in trouble !
Are these "people" known ?
And their supporters ?

Everyone deserves a voice, even you.
 
Personally, I think that they should be allowed on forums and they should be respected. Of course, they should get banned / warned for making blatantly racist or bigoted statements. They should be required to conduct themselves in a civil manner, just as everyone else should. If they can't handle that, then maybe the forum isn't the right place for them.

Also, I am curious as to why the OP only included white supremacists. Shouldn't race supremacy be frowned upon in general, regardless of the race(s) that it is aimed on?
 
Should they be heard? If they own the website? Certainly. Should they be allowed to speak on a public venue? Certainly. Should they be allowed to be heard on a private forum? Up to the forum.

As for respect? **** em'. Why would I give respect to someone who is so stupid they think "because of race" they are somehow superior to someone else? Or race is responsible for all the problems in their lives etc. Sorry, I would no more give them respect than an ignorant ass who thinks the government owes them a living etc.

I pretty much agree with this exactly

Speak/march? Yes in most cases, not all
post on a public forum? yes (rules apply to all and if violated they get the boot)
post on a private forum? Totally up to that forum
Respect? define respect, will I just start randomly attacking them? of course not, but respect above a basic cordial level is EARNED not given. If some one would think im less then them because I am guy/girl, straight/gay, white/black, tall/short, christian/muslim **** THEM lol they don't DESERVE respect for such nonsense. And obviously have no respect for me. Again can I be general cordial? of course anything above that is a joke.
 
Unless they're violating the rules, they should be allowed freedom of speech. They should also be respected. White supremacists are entitled to an opinion just like everyone else. I've never understood why people can't have cordial and civilized discussions in spite of being diametrically opposed to another person's point of view.


Nor can I.
I think it has something to do with intellectual capacity.


just so I understand, I agree that a BASIC level of respect should be the "initial" approach, "cordial" has the first quote says but after that why is anything else deserved??? Respect is EARNED above that not given.

If you are a woman and I think women and nothing but baby factories, kitchen/bathroom cleaners and food makers tell me what is "cordial" about that? and why I would ever expect to be "respected" by women or people in general since I obviously have no respect for them?
 
I would much rather confront erroneous ideology and correct it than drive it underground to fester and ferment, and, perhaps, one day return to bite me in the ass when I'm least prepared to defend myself.

The principle of "Freedom of Speech" covers speech that is unpopular, and even speech that is downright subversive or incendiary.
 
Kali, your avatar is absolutely heartbreaking.
That has got to be the sadest little girl I have ever seen.
I would also like for you to know that Im not the monster you think I am.
I am glad she is MAD versus SAD...
-Peace
