Do you think a paywalled article from 2018 is supposed convince me that I am a racist? Or that the guy who called me a racist done so because he read that article? Or that national media is not supposed to be covering mass shootings from yesterday because that would make them racists?

Given that the sum total of your own words in the comment I responded to is "you just made that up, didnt you?", that is what I was responding to.

If @hairofadog did in fact just make up this claim, I'd be tremendously interested in hearing what access they have to time travel devices to plant a story from over three years ago in a major national paper of record.

As a protip, paywalled articles are often available through archives. Experience infonauts have learned to make use of these:

Whether or not you're a racist is really up to you, and how you behave regarding and concerning race-related matters. That's not looking so good from where I sit.

Why would you assume I didn’t read that article? Experienced infonauts know better than posting paywalls links on hn. Look, I know about Chicago because a good portion of my multiracial family lives there, and I argue against mainstream narratives because watching collapse of institutions that push these narratives is the most terrifying and fascinating thing I have seen. Trust me, I lived through perestroika and the collapse of the anti fascist wall.
