As far as I’m concerned his “explanation” only made things worse. He didn’t retract any of his alt-right talking points even when he was “prepared” as compared to being on a live stream, which to me says this is the crap he actually believes. He’s just not funny to me any more.

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.

The issue isn’t the nation being aggressed against. This issue is bolded up their that he’s stated that this is a “white nation”, while just before saying he explicitly doesn’t believe that.

The problem is that their own ignorant rot is contagious, and if you let it fester untreated, you have an outbreak.

WtF are you on about? It’s not the original commentors job to find evidence disproving Jontrons shitty statistics, especially when Jon doesn’t provide any. Go ask Jafari what his source and evidence was.

Nazis gonna nazi... And get upset when you call them nazis.

What is the point of your comment even?

Well he’s one of the good ones.

hmm. who clicked on the article? oh wait, did you magically appear here?

You cared enough to comment! Plus, I don’t know the hundreds of thousands (millions ?) of people that watched his videos probably care.

You.

You hear people like Steve King say things like “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies”, but then say that he’s not racist. Honestly, people like this are horrible, but I’d have more respect for them if they’d owned their racism, instead of trying to make a half-assed excuse.

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…

Does he clarify how he thinks middle-eastern aren’t supposed to enter America, while he is THE SON OF ONE?

He is one. The KKK also claim to not be racist. But he uses racial slurs, gives interviews to a website known for being a mouth piece for white supremacist, claims whites are the real victims of racism, and tries to pretend that racism against minorities doesn’t exist while cherry picking statistics to paint other…

“People looking at this think I’m some kind of explicit ethno-nationalist, but I’m not,”

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.

Monique, or anyone else of The Root’s staff that may be reading this, can you all please, please ban PeteRR?

Don’t reply to PeteRR. He’s an old-timey cracker troll from way back in the day when Gawker wasn’t even on Thiel’s gaydar.

The biggest problem with the emails is that not many staff can read Cyrillic as of yet
