Small groups of racists will perpuate evil across the globe until the end of time. That's a sad part of the human race I'm afraid.
However, I am also correct, a single group of racists has never held sway for forever...whether it was Hitler, the KKK, Apartheid, etc....each small group was always shouted down by that vast majority of decent people eventually.

You are correct and it is said.

I think you need to examine the term "many."
What we are really talking about here is a small group of out-right and closet racists rushing to the defense of their racist leader because they see their racist way of life as being under attack.
We saw the same thing happen with the KKK in Alabama and Mississippi in the 1960's.
I suspect that this will end the same way here. A small group of racists cannot perpetuate an evil indefinitely.
now that's something I can actually get pissed off about. ðŸ˜

they speak out against, but the fact that someone is striving to suppress the expression of their
closeted beliefs. That is an interesting perspective.
You mention the Alabama and Mississippi in the 1960s. I'm sure there is a degree of hyperbole in
such an analogy; after all, no one is getting lynched or denied access to fundamental rights
because of the deviant behavior of the aforementioned vocal minority. Do you think of
yourself as a crusader for the innocent and defenseless through RHP? Do you think that by
exposing these closeted individuals as racists and having their posts struck from the public record,
you are having a positive impact on their victims? Do you think that you might be educating
those perpetuating their hate, guiding them towards a more tolerant way of life?

Let's consider. I'm white. My wife is asian. And my daughter is a gorgeous mix of the best of the two of us.
By your logic, when I defend Reverend Kirksey's right to free speach, then I am expressing hatred for my wife and daughter?! Perhaps you should re-think your own intolerance.
