My support of Brillo has nothing to do with the thread you refer to. I don't always agree with her views, but calling her racist is the easy way out instead of giving her views respectful consideration and understanding her perspective of having strong views and a deep interest in the subjects she posts about, which I do. I don't believe she is racist, many others don't, so maybe YOU are wrong? I simply and genuinely believe she is ganged up on mercilessly and has been for a long time. People are now speaking out against this. About time.

Brillo's opposition to Islamic extremism has absolutely nothing to do with the things that I find to be racist. Brillo's general disdain for pretty much everyone and everything that pertains to anyone from the middle east is what I'm calling racist. Perhaps you've missed those threads? To give an example; there was a thread about a boy from a private school and some sort of issue the school had had with his mother. There was NO personal information about the family, other than their name and a picture showing their race.
None. Their religion isn't mentioned, even, there is no suggestion at all that they were even Muslim.
Brillo launched full force into a rant about "the mothers likely beliefs" and "what these people expect". From a foreign sounding name, and a picture of the son in school uniform.
That is the very definition of racial prejudice. Perhaps you missed that one? Or are you going to argue that it ISN'T racist? There are countless other examples. You aren't on here as much as some of us (not that that's a bad thing; I'm on here waaay too much) but, perhaps, you happen not to have seen the genuinely racist posts that have informed my view over time. They are there. It's not obvious in every post, but once you've seen them, it becomes quite obvious.
Regardless... It doesn't really matter that you or others disagree with me. But I guess if we have to, we'll go back here, again: I'm stating MY OPINION nothing more, I'm not trying to manipulate or state something as a universal truth that all people must believe, no matter how many times you would all like to pretend that I am to distract from my opinion.
