100. False equivalence. LGBTQ are an oppressed class

Fri Jul 6, 2018, 07:16 PM

Jul 2018

whereas RW whites are an oppressor class.

So to wield the club of white supremacy, by discussing lynching and brandishing a MAGA hat, etc - is an act of oppression and ethnic aggression, while objecting to that (what Jimenez did, which was mild) is an act of resistance and ethnic self defense.
