Go directly to hell, you absolute nightmare of a person.

How fucking conceited and oblivious do you have to be to type that and hit SEND? Do white people have to insert themselves into everything?
That tweet was unbelievably innocuous and kinda warm. It sounds as divisive as “shoutout to mom’s cooking.”
Plenty of racists in Oregon and all, but i have a hard time believing this guy never had it explained to him before why racism is bad in fucking Portland...
Again with that “Have an open conversation” shit...
No sympathy for this guy, but it’s interesting that his remarks as quoted above show at least a hint of self-awareness. Let’s hope he resolves to be a better person, though I won’t exactly be holding my breath on that one.
You’re welcome.
Is anyone wanting the government to file charges against this guy for what he said? It doesn’t seem like it. So how does this go against free speech in any way? “Freedom of speech” does not mean “freedom from consequences for what you say.”
That’s not it. You can say what you want. That doesn’t mean it won’t have consequences. Free speech is about the Government suppressing speech. Not shielding each other from consequences of saying stupid things. It depresses me I have to type this to someone (for like, the 11th time)
Free speech is freedom from government oppression. It is NOT freedom from consequences from the public. If you want to be a bigot verbally (not particularly the case here), you won’t be thrown in jail by the government. You will be condemned by everyone though.
If his apology is honest, I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and let it go. I think it’s not really that hard to believe that someone’s beliefs can change over the course of several years.
The debate was spur of the moment, thinking on his feet with no time to apply a coating of bullshit to his viewpoints. Here he had time to prepare and cover the nastier parts of his views with the appropriate doublespeak.
You.
Stupid, ignorant, and disgustingly prejudiced.
This is really where I am sitting with the whole thing. He can clarify all he wants, but the fact is he demonstrated a lot of racist ideas. You can try and soften their impact but that is him just talking around what he said. He blatently said black people are more criminal across socioeconomic levels and when…
“Discrimination certainly exists but I do believe it goes all ways,” he said. As evidence of this, Jafari pointed to a sketch by Samantha Bee, where she jokingly blames white people for Trump’s election. “I suppose you could guess the reaction if Samantha Bee said black people ruined America for voting overwhelmingly…
Jon’s views aren’t based on real statistics, but from Breitbart bullshit. He argued that the most well off black person is still more violent and more likely to commit crimes than the worst off whites. Please don’t let him half-assedly backpedal from such a blatantly racist (and factually incorrect) statement.
If you read between the lines, it sounds like he was called out and said “FUCK IT I QUIT” rather than making an apology.
How soon before he and JonTron are running Breitbart’s Gaming section?
