With all due respect, the solution is not to name call. The solution is to refute an obviously weak argument. Their whole premise is wrong not only from a historical perspective but also from today's perspective. There is no such thing as 'white privilege". Blacks and other minorities are not being oppressed. There is no such thing (anymore) as institutional racism. We need to make those arguments and do so while not being afraid of being called racist. That is something we should never fear.

Once we make our case, then and only then...we can start to call them names.

Your premise is flawed because it’s assumes that you can reason with these drug addled fruitcakes. Truth, logic, and reasoning will get you nowhere with people who are clinically insane and driven by death cult ideologies.

Please tell us how you are going to reason with such people? Or is this another excuse to virtue signal to the Left while scolding right?

I hope this is tongue-in-cheek.

Patriots must be up front!
Even WFBuckley threatened the piss-ant socialist Vidal with physical violence.

Our current POTUS told his supporters, “we bring a gun”. Your appeal to “refute a weak argument” stands NAKED to the current social order.

If you ascribe to the words you posted...you will be among the first to be put in the box-cars headed to Yuma.

with all due respect to an otherwise excellent post, I ask where we an be able to confront the opposition, without the confrontation devolving into chaos...Facebook is an obvious example; most FB’ers are devout liberals, as we know, but that shouldn’t preclude productive debate. However, with Trump, they cannot contain themselves, and debate falls victim to frothing rage...I encountered this with several of my classmates, all of us 50 years removed from high school, who supposedly have a bond with me; the past ties that bind are no match for the current political scene, and on a civil day they curtly dismiss me...on a butthurt day, they foam at the mouth, sayng ‘spare us your inane diatribes’...

the opposition is in no mood to listen to reasoned debate; they have crystallized all their boogeymen into this election, and anything less than outright rancor will not suffice...
