So do you think posting divisive content, that divides people by race, in the moment of this revolution, is a good idea?

I find this sentiment from the Admin pretty concerning. Like he obviously thinks this revolution is so important everyone needs to suspend their normal posting and join in.

I'm not sure if he'll like my answer, but yes.

Truth is, in order to prevent violence, the marketplace of ideas must be more open. People have to take responsibility for their own emotions about what they see. The truth is that they will have to learn to accept the existence of distasteful ideas.

I think that BLM are racialists, pure and simple. But the truth of the matter is, I HAVE to tolerate their racism. Even their efforts to promote institutional racism. We need to argue with these positions because they will need to be rebuffed. We can't argue against them if we can't see them.

People need to express themselves in times of heightened tension. Censoring them will only promote violence. Unity will only come through voluntary amicable exchange. It can't come through censorship and force.
