Writing the "Racial Realism" manual

Kudos to Occidental Dissent - let’s get specific

Hunter Wallace is going in the right direction in establishing a rhetorical framework for racial activism. We need a disciplined talking points guideline, much like those honed within the machinery of the GOP and Dems. What language persuades? What arguments work? We need the memo.

All too often, I argue with anger/ passion when discussing the neighborhoods I can no longer live in and the taxes I must pay, both in welfare and subsidies, and in my own township in order to make black/Hispanic residence prohibitive. And I’ve watched helplessly, while making excellent points, to lose the argument, for I’ve lost the audience.

People are too well trained to psychologically shut down when encountering “X” level of emotion or “Y & Z” words. Furthermore, an explicit guide to arguing may need to be established in almost computer programming specificity. “If X then Y.”
If “ the legacy of slavery” is brought in for instance, what is the most effective way in words and attitude to deal with that - specifically.
There aren’t many, but what techniques they have for shutting down the racial realists are effective. Let’s get a guide to racial rhetoric. Let’s be precise. What argument strategies work? Let’s write the manual.
