When he complained, rightwingers sent him homophobic taunts online.
Black gay Republican podcaster Rob Smith has claimed that “white supremacist” members of his political party called him “fa**ot” and the n-word during his Sunday night attendance of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona. Though Smith posted a video of his brief interaction with the aggressors, commenters on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the video didn’t feature the n-word and mocked Smith his membership in an anti-gay political party.
“Last night in Phoenix, I was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or blacks in the Republican Party,” Smith wrote in a December 18 post on X. “They shouted ‘nr’ and ‘ft’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.”
What reforms exactly? It’s not like there hasn’t been attempts to integrate them. It’s just the way Islam works. Maybe we could treat Islam like it is, a dangerous cult, and criminalize it? But then we would violate their “freedom of religion”. There’s no easy solution other than closing the border.
Weird how the US has so many more Muslim immigrants than Norway does yet none of the problems.
It’s also kind of bizarre that 3% of your population can break your entire system. Sounds like it was already broken and you just didn’t realize it.
So much for your ancestors.
Old numbers, and for our capital there are over 10% muslims. Imagine every major US city having 10% muslims. And the fact is, from what I gather, the US has about 1% muslims, far lower than in Norway.
Besides, the system worked perfectly fine for norwegians. It is not our responsibily to adapt to migrants, it’s their responsibility to adapt to our system. Or simply not come at all
It’s weird that you think this would scare me. Like do you not get that? That’s the central conceit here - we fundamentally disagree on the idea “Muslims are scary”
Back in topic, in your own words, your system is a failure to what I see as basic human rights, so no, it didn’t work perfectly.
If your culture cannot survive immigrants, your culture has no value. That’s what a “war of ideas” is. That’s why Iran and North Korea don’t allow immigrants.
For clarity, I have said and will say again this exact same thing to every American who disagrees too. If some aspect of “being American” cannot survive immigration, then it doesn’t deserve to exist.
You should, because a lot of them will wage unrestricted warfare against you. They love naive people like you, makes it easy for them.
See this “othering” of 2 billion or so people is what I meant when I said that we have substantial character differences.
Oh, poor 2 milliard (long scale, deal with it) people. If Norway of 5,5 million people can’t handle taking in those 2 milliards there must be something wrong with Norways way of handling immigration. /s
