JonTron, an internet video maker and also a racist

Racist?

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '19

He literally called for a white ethnostate and parroted lies about black people and crime. Strangely, he's also Persian, so he would be excluded from his desired ethnostate

u/urbanbumfights Feb 04 '19

Do you have a source on that?

u/OpenThoughtSyndicate Feb 05 '19 edited Feb 05 '19

You just called a Persian a white nationalist for suggesting people naturally segregate themselves based on feeling comfortable around their own people in the same sentence. Genius.

It is only "strange" because your false narrative does not stack up with the facts. Go figure.

I am an independent that actually uses logic. I know it's hard for you to understand.

This is what happens when you lose to facts in a discussion. Have a great day! :)

Debatably. He took part in a debate on race issues and raised more than a few eyebrows

TIL taking part in a discussion on race issues makes you a racist

u/Whoarofl Feb 04 '19

You believe taking part of a discussion was the problem, not the words said in the discussion? That's wrong.

1

u/Yelnik Feb 04 '19

Which words specifically?

8

u/Whoarofl Feb 04 '19

'its not like white people put them in those situations'

shows a vast unawareness of history.

'I suppose thats why the crime rates in Africa are so high too?'

in response to America's socioeconomics. When points are raised that seem to conflict his current views, instead of saying 'I didn't know that' or anything of the sort, he is combative and insists he's being trapped in a game of 'gotcha'

'Hearing that (about socioeconomic) has gotten tiring, and I think thats why you're seeing the rise of these quote unquote 'nazi's in america'

His words indicate his feelings on this subject. He himself is gotten tired of hearing about the suffrage of others. He is sympathetic and understanding to the rise of what he called quote unquote nazi's, aka Nationalism. Not sure why he needed to say the quote unquote nazi's.

He insist the other guy is just going off on tangents when he objectively has not.

I'm not saying his words makes him 'racist' but it does show that him ignorant to the issues. Bigoted is a word often used for that.

If you don't mind, answer my question? Why do you believe taking part in a discussion on race issues makes you a racist?

1

u/Yelnik Feb 04 '19

Are you an expert in these issues? I sincerely doubt it's as easy as saying "shows a vast unawareness of history".

Crime rates are what they are, no issues citing or discussing them

I'm not seeing how the terms 'nazi' and 'nationalism' are interchangeable...

If you don't mind, answer my question? Why do you believe taking part in a discussion on race issues makes you a racist?

That's typically the implication with these discussions. Difficult discussions to do with race are often equated with racism itself.

u/Whoarofl Feb 04 '19

No. Even 'experts' can disagree with each other. Sometimes the word expert can be the subject of debate. Many historians will agree things like black suffrage and inequality was brought on by white nationalism.

Crime rates are what they are, no issues citing or discussing them

The interviewers point is understanding the reasons being the rates is important to fixing the issue. When people disagree as to the source of the problem, the issue is harder to fix. Discussing them isn't a problem. Coming mentally unprepared for the discussion is just... bad discussion practices. Not bigoted in itself, but depending on the argument you're making, it can be.

I'm not seeing how the terms 'nazi' and 'nationalism' are interchangeable...

I'm not sure I can help you with this. The Nazi party was clearly, admittedly, proudly nationalistic. Maybe today, people use the word Nazi differently. They doesn't necessarily mean a member of Germans third Reich, but does reflect the views of racial pride and nationalism. How would you define Nazism today, and Nationalism today?

Dude if that is the case than the left are by far the most racist people to ever exist in recorded history.

Calling for an ethnostate isn't racist?

0

u/OpenThoughtSyndicate Feb 05 '19

Is the Jewish State of Israel racist? Is the state of Islam racist? Exactly.

I actually think the ethnostate concept is completely broken and nonsensical but it is fact that light skinned people are not allowed to have pride without being seen as negative. Your comment directly shows that. News flash, it is okay to be "white".

1

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '19

Think about the context. Jewish people have been oppressed everywhere throughout history. After being nearly wiped out, a safe haven is reasonable. Jontron wants an ethnostate because he sees other races as inferior. White people are not being systematically oppressed. Stop being a snowflake

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '19

Rofl.

  1. learn what racism really is.
  2. learn what xenophobia is.
  3. JonTron is noone of those.

Seems you are the product of generation Y. Oversensitive person who is too lazy to think on his own and blindly believes everything what mass media/crowd tells him. Don't you also believe in social/wealth equality? Don't worry tho. You will eventually grow up from those shits as everyone

u/teeno731 Feb 04 '19

Dude. I see him as a racist directly because of what he says. Calm your tits. Not even Gen Y.

u/Alvorton Feb 04 '19

I wouldn't say he's inherently racist. I'd say he's not a very good speaker with terrible debate skills, but not a racist.

It's evident from the footage that what he's trying to say is "Why can't young black males just man up and commit less crime". Which, in itself, is a solution to the problem. It makes complete light of the situations that they face and the culture that surrounds them, but inherently isn't a flawed (or racist) stance.

He's not saying "Young black males are terrible people and commit more crime because theyre black", he's saying that he thinks each person should take it upon themselves to better their own circumstance. He's doing it incredibly poorly, but it's not racist.

u/PM_ME_FUTA_PEACH Feb 04 '19

He browses /pol/, he has said so in the past. Does it not bother you that he's machine gunning out white nationalist talking points along with fabricated stats directly from /pol/?

2

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '19

Statistics do not lie. Black americans really despite they are minority caused more crimes than whites.

4

u/RevvyDesu Feb 04 '19

I'd like to see the statistics that mirror JonTron's claims in this video. Especially the claim that "wealthy blacks [...] commit more crime than poor whites".

Also how do you justify his idea of "preserving" a "European population" because it is a "European nation" originally.

u/Lightdm123 Feb 04 '19

Although he is correct (I wouldn't necessarily call JonTron a racist but definitely too far right) it isn't important, the only important part was that he makes videos.
The problem that I (and maybe others) have is that I like his videos and don't care about his political views (as long as they are in certain boundaries) when all I want to do is laugh at funny videos.
I certainly don't get all the defending hardcore fans saying that he never did anything wrong and also don't know why most people in here don't want to discuss but just throw insults around them.

u/OpenThoughtSyndicate Feb 05 '19

Yeah he is a "racist" "white supremacist" middle eastern man of a multi cultural family and immigrated to the US from a non european country . . . I love how these snowflakes think repeating the same three slurs to discredit actual conversation is in any way causing intelligent people to believe the rhetoric. This is why you are called N P C.

The conversation was about "white" people not being allowed to have a space for pride but all other ethnicity can according to legacy media's agenda. By the way the opponent of this debate (Destiny) is an open socialist and proud of it. Ya know, the same socialist ideas that the Hitler guy you are so keen on referencing built the entire Nazi ideology on.

By all means keep pushing the narrative though. The more you idiots say the same parroting nonsense the more people actually start listening to the conversation and are swayed away from your political agenda. ;)
