White supremacy isn't just a difference of opinion, it's an ideology of hate and violence that always leads to the same shit. There's no debate or compromise to be had with people who think immutable characteristics define a person as lesser than another.
I never said anything about debating nor compromising. I don't see anything wrong with wanting to talk to a racist to maybe gain an understanding of why they believe what they believe. Simply shutting them out will do nothing but make them cling tighter to their beliefs. Open dialog should never be discouraged.
It's no big secret why racists are racists. All you'll get from them is dissembling, rationalization, and motivated reasoning while giving them a platform to radicalize others.
You're wrong. Just because some dick doesn't get a platform doesn't mean they are being censored. They are free to promote their ideas by their own means. By your logic everybody who doesn't get a spot on a talk show is being censored. That's stupid.
$15 bucks an hour is too high for SC. It should be more like 9 or 10 here. It's $7.25 now, doubling it would be catastrophic and even more for small business. It would hurt the lower middle class the most.
You got examples of places where minimum wage was doubled all at once? Small businesses in my area struggle to hire enough employees at 7.25. The only way it would work is If they doubled prices. That would mean I'd be paying at least $7 for a latte. No chance I can afford that. Even if I could, I'd much rather purchase the equipment to make them at home. Meanwhile, the increased cost of everything would make everything for lower middle class unaffordable because the won't see an increase in their income but they'll pay for it or do without.
McDonald's is the furthest you can get from small business.
People not working minimum wage have been getting cost of living raises even though minimum wage hasn't moved in like 10 years. The two aren't necessarily connected.
