    Coleman is brilliant, thank God for people like him that aren't afraid to push back.

      Not unless there's a Captain Obvious Award going. Simply not going along with fashionable lunacy hardly deserves a medal.

      ⁠​⁠@@compactcasette are you being serious? Have you never heard of group think? Peer pressure? I guess it’s always easy for you to go against the grain, but that’s not true for the rest of us - especially when there are huge social consequences for doing so.

      @adamfstewart81 Stating the value of the 'Colour Blind' definition of racism is hardly brilliant and only seems remotely novel because the DEI mob have insidiously and deceitfully infected western institutions with CRT and LGBTQ+ nonsense. Most people subject to this new nonsense had no awareness of the advent of these new definitions. In asking for a return to the traditional rational definition, Hughes is hardly original and brings no new insight or particularly nuanced criticism. Condemning CRT lunacy is not 'brilliant' nor an act of martyrdom. If you check out the numerous debates that he's done, you realise he's a hyped-up neophyte. Book deals and TED talks more than soften any negative effects of going against CRT/DEI nutjobs.
      Check his interviews with Glenn Loury - who I'm not too fond of - and John McWhorter for another perspective.

      @adamfstewart81 Well, he's not part of "the rest of us." He's just an aspiring media personality, making a career of his opinions, with a book deal and TED talk spot show off so far (unlike Maya Forstater and others - like myself - who have been persecuted for expressing our thoughts). And I've listened to him for a while on numerous podcasts - Glenn Loury, John McWhorter, etc. - and it's clear that he's a neophyte with not much in the way of original insight. Quoting Thomas Sowell as though no one else had read any of his books. To add, he believes state intervention is the solution to most social problems. So his opinions are not that far from the DEI nutjobs that hate him.

    the hair thing is far from being a one-way street.
    I had the same experience being a white boy growing up in a black majority area.
    Tbh it was an in with girls more than anything else.
    It could be a little overboard too at times. Once a girl tried to cut a loc without asking for example.

    i think what the anti-racists dont like is the "judge them by the content of their character" part; i mean, look at their behavior. wokism and simple honest truth dont mix.

      Because it’s been constantly misquoted.
      We can always count on reactionaries to dig up zombie-MLK in the present and use him as a weapon against the MLK of the past…
