    Can you do me a favor and scroll back to the top of the thread and remember how the conversation started? Invoking Godwin’s here about MLK isn’t really the point you think it is.

      Invoking the same MLK quote that’s been making the rounds recently isn’t the win you think it is.

      No, he’s right. Throwing around quotes from dead people as if they are supposed to matter in today’s environment is patronizing and a misappropriation of what they stood for.

      Nazis are not “White America”. There is no “White America”. Talking about a “White America” in terms of Nazis implies 1) Nazis are all white (they’re not) and 2) they represent white Americans, which they want to but don’t.

      You really, really are playing into Nazi hands defending that shit.

      Can you do me a favor and stop?
