If you are okay with still yet a third reply, I would like to explain why I see now that you are at least halfway correct, and to thank you for such a respectful conversation to help me see what you did.
For one, I tend to give comedians a HUGE amount of slack - but somehow knowing that he constantly uses the N-word changes everything for me. There is no way that he is merely doing a "bit" for comedic effect, if he is willing to go that far.
That said, I still do think that THIS VIDEO was quite well-made, in digging into the historical nature of the issue. It would be like if Donald Trump put out a video trying to convince people that workers deserved their wages - like... IKR!? yet true, yet what a source to have come from!?
I will add that stating that Muslims want to commit genocide against Jews isn't in itself "Islamophobic" per se, though while I still have yet to see evidence that he is all the way that, knowing now that he is racist as fuck predisposes me to preemptively agree that that seems likely too.
So this is quite a complex Meta-issue, itself on top of an already quite complex issue:-). Maybe it takes people who do not think "normally", to sit down and think it all through, as opposed to merely "ur stupid" (in lieu of disagreement with the subject matter) or "^THIS" (selfishly adding nothing to the conversation, beyond inserting oneself into it, like a toddler) - i.e. I am so glad that neither you nor I are fully "normal", if that is what that means.
Anyway, thank you again.
