RE: The Suppression Paradox - why banning hatred/racist speech doesn't work and may make things worse
Sorry commenting here due to the nesting issue. I know Trump is not a good guy but I don't think he is the pure evil that people would have us believe either. Ultimately we should judge him on his actions. I don't buy into these people who are panicking over his win or over Brexit for that matter. I totally agree if he does improve economic circumstances for everyone I suspect the racism issue will disappear (I'm not convinced he is racist anyway ).
I don't think Trump is racist; I do know that he was misquoted, and that remarks directed at subgroup of immigrants were framed as targeted towards brown people as a whole.
There are two good posts here; what Trumps' policy is vs. what it has been narrated to be; and the validity of those policies in themselves.
Hope I'm not lazy tomorrow, as I might take a shot at those.
