The Harper’s Letter Is Really A Case Against Open Debate

1. I hear MALICE but not but good communications skills needed for debate such as Ethos and Logos all I here is Pathos namely malice. Reflects an attitude that shows an extremely poor understanding of history. Today cancel culture centers on whites as the new people to oppress. I do not understand why hate for any group based on color is helpful. The prove that this is a very intelligent way to divide is evident by the money and power gained. Are people of Color the only ones who have been oppressed? Study history study science. You have the right to debate but we decided what's bad or good. Now that elitism. The unlearned working people have to deal with the real-world why the power-hungry push to tear down and transform better world-based revenge Your a smart lady with a great deal of passion based on your intolerant religion. But if you're going to be challenged and the fact that one of the greatest weapons of the so-called woke movement is opposition to the debate will not serve you well. I'm a poor white man with only a high school education but II have physically and verbally fought against racism. Through the study of black history, I reading books by Thomas Sowell and Shelby Steel and other conservative Afro-Americans I have come to the point where I believe black Americans can excel beyond White people by exercising the discipline and courage, and personnel responsibility they have shown during times of more oppression than now. Malcolm X, whether you agree with him or not, he was committed to the upliftment of black people, I feel today's BLM movement is not about upliftment but about neglecting personal responsibility to improve one's life. Why do you sell your race short? Why do I see the potential of the blacks if the message is changed to you can excel

2. Your the reason this letter has to exist

3. AAA+++

4. AAAAAAAAAMMEEENN!!!!!

5. Hectoring tone and a whole string of non sequiturs, plus a dose of ad hominum vitriol, adds up to the exact kind of thing the letter warns against.

6. It’s all games until they Shut Down your speech as harmful.
   Doesn’t the Left see that we’re going to eat each other if we continue like this?

7. That was total crap.
   Cancel Culture’s real victims aren’t the rich and powerful. They’re people who don’t conform to a very narrow span of opinion and behavior that’s allowed by the true believers of the identitarian religion. Any variance from the path of righteousness gets a mob of the faithful throwing stones to bury you under and then a demand that all others shun you or meet the same fate. https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/12/08/porn-star-august-ames-kills-herself-after-twitter-uproar/

   But hey, who doesn't love a good witch burning, right?

8. 2 minutes in and this is the most anti-intellectual video I've ever seen. Remember when it was the right wing that was anti-intellectual?

9. Excellent critique! This is a year of the beginning of great change. It is about the unstoppable force versus the immovable object. I will have to say that for the status quo the more they dig in the the worse off they are going to be. It may take a few years, but I will be looking forward to see the establishment implode.

10. I think the letter is pushing for continuing the debate rather than having it shut down by either side. I don't understand the angry response to it.
    I feel that the only reason to shut down a conversation is because one isn't confident in his/her arguments validating their position

11. One has to blow the whistle when the B. S. meter is pegged, Gnome, Burnie, The squad etc are all aipackers perpetuating the prison industrial system in Gaza, West Bank as well as Ferguson, LA, Minneapolis etc

12. Amazon is a monopoly controls like 87% of book sales, I think. Amazon once said it would sell all kinds of material no matter how loathsome or offensive (to some). For some time Amazon has been removing books from it's catalog that like the ADL tells them not to sell.

13. Speech was free for those who owned a press!

14. I love you, Mrs. Luqman!!!!!

15. Huzzah Jacqueline!! Superb criticism.

16. Thank you – that was an amazing speech! We all know how difficult it can be to have a difference of opinion or ideology and still have an understanding – but we desperately need to communicate with one another. Thank god we have such an intelligent force on our side. God bless The Real News and others that support truth, free speech and debate. I think America has reached a new plateau and it gives hope for a better America while at the same time a lot trust has been lost in many institutions.

17. Beautifully said. Thank you.

18. Well said!

19. I like that you are calling out the liberals. It's ironic, isn't it? They are marching around claiming they know something lol.

20. Great work. Thank you.
