When he complained, rightwingers sent him homophobic taunts online.
Black gay Republican podcaster Rob Smith has claimed that “white supremacist” members of his political party called him “fa**ot” and the n-word during his Sunday night attendance of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona. Though Smith posted a video of his brief interaction with the aggressors, commenters on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the video didn’t feature the n-word and mocked Smith his membership in an anti-gay political party.
“Last night in Phoenix, I was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or blacks in the Republican Party,” Smith wrote in a December 18 post on X. “They shouted ‘nr’ and ‘ft’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.”
You mean you prefer to live among the leopards? Be my guest. Just don’t complain when they’ll inevitably eat your face
I’ll run and tell my Nigerian neighbor not to eat my face. He’ll get a kick out of it.
Cool. Now try burn a quran in Gaza. It’s dangerous enough to do that in Norway, a person that did exactly that was attempted to be killed. But I guess Gaza should be fine. And why would you burn it? Look at what it says about women, and gay people. Terrible stuff, so better burn the quran
Try to burn a Bible in many small towns in America, or most of Europe. Turns out when you’re intentionally an asshole to a bunch of people about something they’re passionate about, bad things can happen to you.
I don’t support burning any books
I wouldn’t know what happened. Because luckily I’m not an american. But the difference here is how Norway is my birth country, where my ancestors have lived since humans first came to this area. Yet I am not free to critizise an invasive religion, which has never been here before, which threatens the peace and prosperity we enjoy. Of course I don’t like it. I doubt you would either
This is meaningless.
Do you think I don’t disagree with the religious preferences of some people? Because I do. They’re still allowed to believe whatever they want.
They’re a racist. That’s the end of it. They’ve convinced themselves that such people are lesser people and not products of their environment that has largely been out of their control.
They might be, but I shouldn’t have to deal with them, when these circumstances are not my fault, and taking them in would destabilize my own country. Islam is a fucked and evil ideology. I’d rather have them fix their problems in their own country, than having them export their instability to mine.
Immigrants, especially those from Africa and the Middle East are topping the rape statistics.
Sweden (my neighbour country) literally had to ask the military for help, dealing with violent criminal gangs from the immigrant community.
Out of all the fairy-tales of religion, it’s my sincere hope that Karma and Reincarnation happen so that such people can be birthed into such circumstances they naively criticize to see for themselves. The racist to fill the shoes of a Syrian refugee, for instance.
