Question: Comment: This country was founded as a white racist nation. The proof is in the original Constitution. Violence has always been at its core. What do you think the 2nd Amendment was needed for? The nation was built on ethic cleansing of the locals and race based slavery. The country has been a giant affirmative action program for people that Europe didn't need or want. We have been working on becoming "a more perfect union" ever since. As we move ever so slowly toward a merit based society, white male privilege is losing power. It is now illegal to kill black people while they are praying in church. That use to be one of the many white privileges that white men had. Lynchings are no longer considered family entertainment. There are photos. White folks invented the "race card" when they decided that being white was more important than being human. The good news is that younger people are generally less racist than their elders. In another 200 years, all lives may actually matter in this country.

Answer: Identity-attack

Question: Comment: All I want is equal rights under the law. This country has never achieved that goal. Do you support the police murdering unarmed black folks including children? Do you enjoy being a beneficiary of that racist violence? Do you think killing a 12 year old holding an air rifle in a playground is justified? The cop that shot him was fired for lying on his job application, not murder. He is still free. How many white folks murdered by black people for political purposes would you tolerate? How many centuries of that violence would you tolerate? What would you do to stop the killing? Would peaceful protest work for you as your response? Would mere suspicion of you having a gun justify a cop killing you?

Answer: Identity-attack

Question: Comment: His comment was offensive. But in any procedure that has an ounce of due process, things like context, someone's past record & contributions, and contrition are taken into account.

None of this matters to the social justice mob. "I am offended" overrides decades of very meaningful contributions.

The mob will be what it will be unfortunately. It is up to institutions to ensure we don't cave into it, we allow due process to dictate, and we push back to ensure important institutions don't succumb to the emotions of the day, and that we don't lose good people as a result.

Answer:
Non-identity-attack
