What was it about and what made you argue for so long? Did you win, did it conclude in anyway?

I'm just going to assume you're not a racist looking for an excuse to downplay racism

Are you talking to me? I said that racism was traditionally used as a tool to divide working class movements so anti racism and class war go hand in hand. Trying to have one without the other is a classic way to divide working people against each other. Pretty weird how you read what I wrote and assumed I’m a racist.

You might've missed the word "not" in my previous comment, lol

EDIT: My apologies if I misread your intention -- I'd entertained the idea that someone would try to goad me into an argument on the same topic, so I didn't get invested in thinking too much about your comment.

Another commenter clued me in as to what you were probably getting at, and I think we're in agreement, lol

It’s fine I wasn’t very clear with my reply so I see how it could be misconstrued. You’re clearly still traumatised from the original argument lol.
