Well you didnt choose a white or Asian guy as an example for some reason

You’re making my point for me. Lack of clout is the very definition of an

Where did you get that from? That is quite a mishmash of commentary mixing public and private issues.

Bob Vance

You won’t get support for that here. Many on here are in positions of privilege

What happens to someone convicted of hate speech?
