The comments are even more amazing than this.  At the same time, it can't be denied that the summary above makes it appear as if there never was anything to criticize about the whole thing and this was an absolutely clear cut issue where every criticism must automatically be uninformed and racist.  Bingo.  I disagree with effectively closing down discussion of controversial topics, just because they are likely to attract those toxic and hateful behaviors, and essentially presenting it as "there was nothing there to criticize at all" afterwards.  This guy is being completely reasonable, and he gets his post baleeted. Typical Ghazi. :P Moving past the first comment...   Before this, he was emphasizing how all lives mattered and about his history as a civil rights activist, but after that, he listened and is now making sure that race issues are an important plank for his platform  Post hoc ergo propter hoc, eh? Sanders hired Symone Sanders (BLM activist) as his press secretary nearly a month ago. They maybe sped up the change in conversation, but they absolutely did not make it happen.  And then lifestyled goes in to argue with this guy, and starts putting words in his mouth. It seems to me like the majority of the issues with Ghazi come from the mods being authoritarian SJWs. Even though the community is bad, the mods are forcing it to be that way; it's an echo chamber because the mods actively police it. This, perhaps, is the most dangerous thing for someone to wander into.
