Hello Parler...

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I think I can speak of all non-racists when I say that I am so happy for you and your Klan.

KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE RACE-BAITING.

These are "your people"? "You and your Klan"?

As far as I'm concerned, these comments violate the terms of service in here prohibiting slander. Call me a racist, either directly or indirectly, one more time and I will making a complaint with MW. I've had enough.

Forgive me, what would you call it? Every description I have seen is suggesting it is a communication portal for white supremacists and neo-nazis. This would include groups like The Proud boys.

I'm not race-baiting as much as using very commonly understood ways to describe this particular platform.

If this was Pinterest, I would have used language common with the crafting women type. Because, Pinterest is very centric to the crafting type.

So please point your very large print towards our entire society that has labeled this service a racist app

Perhaps you should hang out with a crowd more worthy of your morals.

You're free to have whatever view of Parler users you want. If you think they're a bunch of Klansmen, while you'd be factually wrong, you're entitled to be ignorant.

Where you cross the line is referring to Parler users as "your people," targeting that statement at me, and then in the next breath clarifying that "your people" are Klan members. You have quite directly accused me of being a KKK member, and in my opinion, if that isn't a bannable offense in these forums, it should be.

Once again, Bryce in particular has taken a very focused interest defending this particular app. If that's not his app (meaning one that he frequents) then why does he really care that they have found a new home with the Russians.

Coincidence is such an interesting phenomena. Take me for example, I've never been associated with that kind of speech or behavior. Am I unique in that regard? Coincidence I suppose...

What does anything Bryce said have anything to do with you accusing me of being a Klan member?

And what specifically have I said in my 2687 posts on this site that would suggest I am a KKK member or even remotely sympathetic to their cause? Or is it just plain bigotry on display here?

I don't think you are a racist. I don't believe you've ever demonstrated much support for their activities.

LOL at labeling someone as racist, woke, or anything else based on the inane ramblings of what is posted on a mostly anonymous message board.

As The Breakfast Club so accurately put it: "We are who you want us to be".

Pretending that any of these posts accurately reflect what any of us are like in real life is a hoot. This is the land of make believe and always will be.

Many of your pontifications are just as offensive to me as a racist diatribe. Do I try to censor or remove the progressive verbal vomit that spews from your pie hole? No. Because your views, much like that of the racist assholes, serves to show just how detestable the author and his or her thought process is.

Better to shine a light on the ignorant than to let them cook shit up in the dark.
