I'm pointing out it's not an apples to apples comparison and that there's nuance to the conversation because one of them renounced what he did. You're here pretending that the world is black and white and that somehow people that can see color and acknowledge it are wrong. I'm kinda sad for you. Love how “nuance” only comes into play when Democrats are doing wrong. Typical. LOL. 2 Link to comment

Maybe he didn’t know much about Proud Boys, Maybe he didn’t know they were Proud Boys, maybe he felt good to have someone support him after being in jail and didn’t give a s#!t who it was, maybe he got caught in the moment and didn’t realize how people like you would take a picture out of proportion, maybe he actually is a white supremacist but one single picture ain’t gonna tell you that. But you’ve made up your mind based on a single picture, congrats Good reminder for us to not listen to you about “nuance” anymore. 2 Link to comment

But it's been months and I haven't seen him renounce the Proud Boys.He could of course do so later in life and change my mind about him. People are complex and can change, so I keep my mind open to that possibility. Just like Byrd renouncing the KKK - doesn't mean that the past is suddenly fixed but shows a willingness to change or at least publicly admit he was wrong. 3 minutes ago, Archy1221 said: Good reminder for us to not listen to you about “nuance” anymore. Yeah, nuance is the worst. Better not listen to people unless they are fully on one side or the other with no shades of gray or sense of degree or proportion. 1 Link to comment
RedDenver Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 For example, Rittenhouse did say he supports BLM, which definitely influence some opinions of him, especially on the right: 1 Link to comment

I was told that taking a picture with an apparent proud boy makes you a white supremacist. It seems that eulogizing a KKK member would at the very least get you that same tag I mean what’s more intimate, a random picture or a eulogy? Interestingly enough, that didn't answer the question at all. And of course there's that other question left hanging for days: a black teenager wearing tactical gear and carrying an AR-15 walks into an active BLM protest. Are the two white guys who are killed trying to disarm him victims or heroes? And does the narrative around Black Kyle's full acquittal take a complete 180 given the exact same evidence and a simple change of skin color? Link to comment

So.......you're saying that if Kyle Rittenhouse was a black teenager who brought an AR-15 to a BLM protest, killed two men trying to disarm him, and was acquitted of all charges, the reaction would be no different because of this article about an acquittal that happened just yesterday involving significantly different circumstances, and inspiring conservative banter I should already have curated as a member of the political party that once included Robert Byrd as a member?
