Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.

Please tell me how calling out racism is white supremacy...

I bet you can't.

He also seemed to think not all white people were bad

The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny.

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

Go back to whatever hateful little spot you are from and realise you will never get out of it by hating people for things they haven't done.

Anti white racism is a literal neo-nazi talking point that works because white means white supremacist.

I'll say this. Your bullshit is consistent, though wrong.

You keep using racial slurs against me, yet I haven't responded in kind. I think we know who the bigot in this situation is. And it the one throwing out the accusations of white supremacy and littering their speech with hateful little slurs thinking they have a point.

You don't have a point and I'm not going to continue to engage with you. Go yell into the void

I'll leave you with this: Using hate to justify hate is how those white supremacy idiots want you to act. They want you at the throats of white people so they can justify their hate. Congratulations you fell for their shit.

Moral consistency is the only way to approach moral truth. If your morality leads you to villainy, you need to examine why that's the case.
