How long would the world have tolerated Milo Y as a celebrity if he were black?

- would he have received invites from Bill Maher, Berkeley, and CPAC if her were black and had doxxed a bunch of white actresses?
-would people be faster at recognizing how pathological he is?

Or would he be treated like some silly little celebrity, right up until he was found endorsing pedophilia?

one wonders.

he could be any color at all. In fact, if Milo were non-white, the right would hold him up as proof that the right wing ideas he espoused were normal across all lines of difference.

i feel like kanye got more backlash for stealing the mic from taylor swift, that Milo got for doxxing Leslie Jones

Kanye West is a great example of the double standard.

Black man, white woman, and all of that baggage. Baggage that Trump has exploited and shared for many years.

The US civil war never really ended. It just went underground, and is resurfacing strongly right now.

are what makes "ameriKKKa great again". Didn't you know? I watched this clown on Maher...which I don't watch with any regularity, just don't like his schizoid tendencies, but anyway I was truly shocked that this person was a 'celebrity' an a trump supporter. That is until I was thought, again. He's white, entitlement does this for types like him. 10 seconds, a black person would be dissed and immediately marginalized to the nether regions never to be heard from again. I am glad this clown sealed his own fate. Yet I asked myself...IF he had not been caught...how long would he have been in the spotlight and a darling of the pussy grabber and the other two in the triumvirate power group running our country now.

Bannon hired this idiot racist and now president bannon is in power over the country....I would ask that god help us, but have finally realized that IF a god exists, god has had nothing to do with this. Secondly, whether a creator truly exists that cares about this tiny little ball of dirt and the billions of humans scurrying to and fro, going nowhere fast..
