        SPLC has lost all legitimacy in calling Nawaz and Hirsi Ali bigots -- also, we were fine with racist Al Sharpton advising Obama

        Which bigotry? An accusation alone is not good enough.

        We look to you for rational analysis, not gestures and virtue signalling. The former is in short supply.

        Donald Trump's racism has no place in the White House or in America but 'they' voted for him anyway.

        Do you have any examples of said-bigotry to share, Pinker? Reporting has been heavy on accusations, not so much on evidence..

        A standing ovation to activists actually trying to do something beyond exclaiming the apocalypse! Actions speak above anguish.
