The video could be taken out of context. Based on what I observed in the short video the kid in the black hat is racist as #. Met plenty of people like them. I honestly just feel sorry for the amount of ignorance he showed in that video.

What I mind is the pansies sitting there taking it right on the chin who are afraid to stand against it and make a rational counter argument.

Being able to argue convincingly on one or the other side of an Extreme Topic is part of debate training.

Whatrationalargument is there to make against "you should kill yourself because you're white", other than, "you're a small-minded knob".
If the white genocide argument presented here had been a rational one I can see making one, but the kid stumbles over his words and simply shouts "Ethics!" at one point. If ignoring obnoxious trolls means I've been "pussified" then I weep for the clearly declining level of sound rationality in the world.

You seemed to have taken it personally even though I never mentioned you.
So no, this isnt just one kid and one debate. You can rationalize hate all you want.
