[W:216, 238]Emails show White House advisor Stephen Miller promoting white nationalism to Breitbart

Re: Emails show White House advisor Stephen Miller promoting white nationalism to Breitbart

Focus on the Family was designated a hate group because it expended a huge amount of money and resources in fighting against the government recognition of same sex marriage, has expended a large amount of money and resources in fighting against discrimination protections for gays and lesbians, and puts a lot of money into gay conversion programs, has fought against gays and lesbians being able to adopt and so on.

10 Things You Should Know About Focus On The Family | Human Rights Campaign

Now, let's say you were gay or lesbian. If an organization was putting significant resources into legally preventing you from marrying who you want to marry, putting significant resources into banning your ability to adopt, and putting significant resources into preventing you from having legal discrimination protects - despite you being a member of a group that has historically been a big target of hate crimes and discrimination, would you view that organization as a hate group? I think you probably would and rightly so.

As a married heterosexual man with a family, I think we often can take for granted the legal freedoms and protections that we have that were until recently not extended to same sex couples.

I understand your point, I'm at a different stance, in your scenario, I could see them being viewed as a hate group, but I can also discern that my view is biased enough, where although I view it as hate, others might not. They aren't using illegal scare tactics, they aren't lynching people, they are using resources that they have, legally, to promote their point of view, however much I disagree, that's their right.
 
Re: Emails show White House advisor Stephen Miller promoting white nationalism to Breitbart

because when taken on aggregate the things they say and do paint a clear picture of discrimination. This is the case with some lobby groups, it is the case with Miller. An objective reading of these recently revealed emails demonstrates his bigotry; a glance at what he's said and done in the past strengthens the case against him.

We might cherry pick and say this one excerpt or that alone doesn't 'prove' anything, but when all lumped together, it's not pretty.

And that is absolutely a reasonable point and view to take, for some reasons you, and others, believe I am defending Miller, when I am not, I am deriding shoddy journalism and the downfall of that profession more than anything.

Someone, had posted an excellent Newsweek article about Miller, showing how he had his views from high school through college, and didn't tell you how to think about them, that's how it's supposed to be.

So by your reasoning, David Duke is not a hate group. He isn't lynching people and he only uses legal resources to promote his point of view.

There are many White Supremacist groups that do not engage in violence, and while what they argue for is vile, they are well within their legal rights to do so, thus by your reasoning, they should not necessarily be viewed as hate groups. Some might just say they were advocating for the white race, not against other races, right? I mean that is your reasoning here.
 
Re: Emails show White House advisor Stephen Miller promoting white nationalism to Breitbart

Fun to watch you try and impugn where the emails are shown but not the rankly racist and white supremacist content of them.

Why do you support naked racism and white supremacism?

Some things are just self-evident.

Oh, it was purely a rhetorical question. I have absolutely no doubt about that poster's motivations and beliefs.

I normally don't consider one person a group, but ok.

Listen, you think Focus on the Family is a hate group, go for it, no problem, just don't act surprised when other people don't. One can think the Klan as a hate group, and FOTF as not, don't get so triggered though eh?

Please show me White Supremacists group that don't engage in violence....I'm truly curious about that....

I do. I think FOTF is a hate group.

There are plenty of white supremacist groups that don't engage in violence. That doesn't mean they are not a hate group.

Moreover, I am not triggered, I am just pointing out why Focus on the Family was designated as a hate group. The argument to defend Stephen Miller was that since the Southern Poverty Law Center had designated Focus on the Family as an anti-LGBT hate group, they were not credible. I merely pointed out why it's a flawed argument. Of course its also irrelevant. Stephen Miller has a lifetime of white nationalism behind him, and his own emails are being used against him now.

Finally, those arguing this are not fooling anyone. Helen Keller could see through some of y'all. Those that have hateful views about the LGBT community do not like the fact that groups like Focus on the Family were designated as hate groups because it implicates them as well. Those with white nationalist views do not like the fact that Stephen Miller is viewed as a white nationalist, because it implicates them as well as they agree with him.

Bigots are very seldom self aware enough to recognize their own bigotry.

Please, show me one....
 
Re: Emails show White House advisor Stephen Miller promoting white nationalism to Breitbart

Please, show me one....

Council of Conservative Citizens
Divine International
Free American
The Right Stuff
True Cascadia

I can go on and on. The majority of White Nationalist / White Supremacist groups in the United States are non-violent. Not all of them are far right either, though the majority are. True Cascadia is an example of a an extreme left White Nationalist group.
 
Just curious....is the majority of Canada racist now?

I addressed the Canadian aspect in a thread about blackface.
 
These groups advocate an anti-American, anti-constitutional, anti-democracy and anti-social agenda. Wouldn't support from a representative of the POTUS be considered high crimes and misdemeanors?

One would think, but Miller isn't subject to impeachment. He can only be fired by the guy who directly benefits from Miller's racism. So figure the odds.
 
Re: Emails show White House advisor Stephen Miller promoting white nationalism to Breitbart

I stopped reading after I saw this.




I mean, honestly.

yes how "honest" of you to simply dismiss the fact that Miller is a scumbag racist white nationalist, despite his jewish "blood". I am amazed the white boys accept one with such a taint.
 
Ok, so is a majority of Canada racist now?

Nope. Now if we had elected a racist PM who had spent a decade leading a racist movement that attacked the previous PM for no other reason than the colour of his skin, you know, like Trump.


Birtherism was why so many Republicans liked Trump in the first place


If we had elected a racist PM who had made his primary campaign strategy to energize his base designed to attract cowardly racists, you might have a point. You know, like Trump.

Trump’s Midterm Closing Argument: Pure Racial Fear


If we had elected a racist PM who had refused to rent to blacks because of the colour of their skin, you might have a point. You know, like Trump.

But a one off like what Trudeau did? That was just stupid. We weren't supporting a blatant life long racist like the Trump base. It wasn't racism that attracted so many to Trudeau, like it was that attracted so much of the Trump base, at least according to Trump.

He wouldn't be the first. Some people will support anyone, if they personally benefit.

As if one picture in blackface equals Trump's life long history of blatantly racist behavior. I've noticed White Supremacists are working hard to deny and deflect away from Trump's blatant racism every chance they get. Happy as they are about it, they know Trump publicly defending Neo Nazis and the KKK doesn't sit well with a lot of Independents.

One off? There were multiple incidents.....and the poster I asked, literally said blackface is racist, so...does he think Canada is racist for electing a PM who has donned black face, MULTIPLE times ?

Oh my god! Blackface...twice! That is far worse than not renting to blacks, publicly supporting Neo Nazis and the KKK, leading the racist Birther Movement for a decade, and basing an election campaign on energizing racists. Yep, way worse.

This is the most ridiculous whataboutism I've seen. I agree the blackface was stupid, unfortunately it was acceptable in Canada and the USA not very long ago (And I think it's a good thing that we've come to realize that this is racist and insulting, and we don't do it anymore.) Take a look at Trump's record. That's the record of a White Supremacist.

So, when Canada elects someone with anything even close to Trump's record of blatant racism, we can talk about that. Until then, it's off topic deflection.

Anyways, back on topic. It shouldn't be any surprise that his son-in-law is also a racist. I doubt if Ivanka would have it any other way, considering the racism she almost certainly grew up with.

not to anyone who actually read it

Too bad that I read it then, because I can't find any stance that the man has that actually is a white-supremacist stance.

This is just Salon trying to smear someone in Trump's wheelhouse, nothing more.
 
You know, I switched screens to get some more stuff (Miller's article for the Duke Chronicle, for example, wherein he claimed that racism doesn't exist and called it "racial paranoia") but then realized that that would be a complete waste of time. You're going to ignore whatever's given to you just like you're ignoring the already obvious and undeniable fact that Miller is a racist.

If you want to pretend that discarding your nonwhite friends because of their race isn't racist, that's on you. If you want to pretend that sharing racist rants from VDARE, AmRen, and Infowars and pushing "Camp of the Saints" isn't racist, that's on you. Saying that, "people of color are a danger to our country and should not be allowed in." Writing the racist underpinnings of certain Trump speeches, including the war in Warsaw. Masterminding the travel ban and the Southern border policy. Promoting Hitler era immigration policies. All racist.

I know, I know. That's just me talking and doesn't prove anything. The problem with racism deniers and excusers, though, is that they pretend, via use of coded language they invented to be acceptably, subtly racist, is that either nothing is racist to them or anti-white racism is just as big a problem as racism against nonwhites. They won't even agree that blackface is racist and will spend pages on internet boards defending it and thereafter still want to be taken as a serious person.

Just for reference, this is what's on the Washington Examiner's opinion page today:

A*damning email dump*from former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh points to Miller simply being a racist who hates immigrants. . . .

We can't say with certainty what hate is or isn't in Miller's heart, but we know that he was happy enough to use the work of hatemongers and kill the GOP's last shot at immigration reform, apparently because it would help predominantly Mexican immigrants. It's long past time for Trump to dump Miller.

It's high time for Trump to dump Stephen Miller

So more baseless blather and no real proof, just blind assertion and rage and the dying of the lite, and all that. If you want to keep throwing your faux morality around and continue in being mad for no real reason, then so be it.

But this is a blatant hit piece, because it takes quotes out of context, it uses hearsay and assertion to paint a picture that it wants you to see, and I've literally seen enough of this BS from Salon over the last four years to just know not to trust it on face value. Because these are the same jackasses that would call an inanimate object racist, or that a hand gesture is a symbol of white supremacy.

It's wasted on anyone who can actually exorcise their higher brain functions at this point.

Does anyone actually have hard proof that what they're claiming of Miller is true, and if so. Then they should be able to supply it.
 
Yeah, I know Salon has a bias. Take a breath. I didn't offer that writer's opinion as proof of Miller's racism. Just like I did with Fox's write up of Sanders's immigration plan in another thread, I expected you to discern through the bias of the tone and extract the pertinent facts and events. For example, this writer thinks that Miller's high school comments about janitors were racist. I think they could have just as easily been classist. Encouraging an influential news outlet to promote overtly racist propaganda is, however, racist any way you slice it.

I have to say that I'm a little disappointed that you're determined to attack my source rather than address my substance. Since I had a feeling that you might, I also gave you a piece by the Washington Examiner. It more or less says the same thing that the Salon editorial does but comes from a source that is as far right as Salon is left.

Washington Examiner - Media Bias/Fact Check

All that said, though, it's all, to some extent, a matter of opinion and perception. I addressed that stalemate in an earlier post.

You trying to argue substance?

Color me surprised, and then I'm more than willing to call that BS out, because you had to play along with Salon in the first place. It's an obvious hit piece and nothing more.

Hearsay and allegation, does not a case make. You need proof, and the article falls short by a mile.
 
Re: Emails show White House advisor Stephen Miller promoting white nationalism to Breitbart

Let me guess, all of those Jews, blacks and whites at the SPLC are anti-white?

:)

Sent from the Matrioshka in the WH Christmas tree.

Actually, black and female employees have accused the leadership of the SPLC of practicing racism and sexism behind the scenes, if you're really interested, which I doubt you are. Morris Dees and Richard Cohen resigned their positions as the #1 & #2 most powerful figures at the SPLC earlier this year when they were finally confronted by a usually complicit media over the charges.

So you don't like Salon and you don't like the Washington Examiner. Or is it just what they said that you don't like?

No matter. This is exactly why I didn't bother to spend more time giving you what I consider to be proof of racism. You won't ever agree that it is racist.

Now, as far as "baseless blather", "rage", "faux morality", and "mad" go, you're practicing projection. I suggest that if an internet board of anonymous strangers gets your blood pressure this high on a regular basis that you try gardening or bird watching or something.

I gave you proof. You won't accept it. I even addressed that disconnect. I'm not trying to change your mind nor will you ever change mine.
