You know what, please allow me to apologize and explain.

Not wrong to ask questions at all. But you were asking other peoples questions not random questions. Whose questions? Why did they ask those questions?

I'm a fan of Sowell too. I'm not opposed to asking uncomfortable questions at all and hold many beliefs that piss other people off. You know I'm no party line guy from the other shit I've said.

You aren't a racist for seeing the question and wondering yourself. I did too with those exact same questions. That's why I know the answers and the motivation of the people who first asked. I had the advantage of first hearing them in a dive bar where suspicious tattoos gave me a leg up on seeing through them. People on the internet don't have that.

I called you a racist because faced with the answers I gave for who asked those questions and why, you doubled down and in your own words didn't care. It didn't prompt you to look for other peoples answers to those questions instead of just the answers of the people who you heard ask the question.

Maybe a bit rough, but I've seen too many friends get sucked in by the motte and bailey just asking questions version of racism. I know that in order to suck people in they count on being able to retreat to that softer version of their beliefs where people don't call it racism, until later when they have you hooked. So I don't give them a pass on that public face version anymore. If I see the softer marketing version of racism I just call it racism. There is no point addressing a mask if I know who is wearing it.

You say I'm pushing people in that way but I've saved other people by sharing that history before. I did not mean to pick a fight. I truly meant to save you from heading down a dark path. I don't think you set out to become a racist, but we often don't know where a path leads until the end. This is a path that's better to find out who made it and where it goes before you get too far down it.
