Remember when the White supremacist website, “The Daily Stormer,” posted, "How to be a Ni**** on Twitter," by creating methods for creating fake accounts, in order to avenge the banning of White supremacists, Andrew Auernheimer? In their words, their objective was to “create a state of chaos on twitter, among the black twitter population, by sowing distrust and suspicion, causing blacks to panic." Well, part of the antagonizing comes with the overload of misinformation and lies about people of color. In a perfect world, I would suggest that everyone combat misinformation on social media, but I comprehend that everyone does not have the desire or the temperament that is needed to argue with trolls on social media. I respect and comprehend why many avoid arguing with trolls on social media. I will however say, it is always important to combat misinformation where ever the misinformation is being spread. Those who have the temperament, time, and energy are always needed. When engaging in social media debates, my objective is never to convince the troll to share my views; it’s more to educate those following the debate. So many young people get their news and world perspective from social media, that there has to be a voice to counter the misinformation that is purposely being projected throughout multiple social media platforms. This article was written for those who have the desire and temperament to combat misinformation on social media.

Talking points used by individuals who promote White supremacists propaganda on social media and how to address those talking points.
Why do Blacks love acting like victims?
Remind the individual you are debating that many suspected white supremacist often play the role of victims in regards to affirmative action, gay marriage, social program funding, cultural diversity regarding immigration, etc. Show how they are the ones often playing the role of the victim as a counter.
You Blacks are just ungrateful.
Ask what exactly are Blacks are ungrateful for. Also, ask why so many suspected White supremacists are ungrateful for the free labor granted to America by Blacks that created the wealth and economic foundation of the nation.
Blacks are only 13% of the population, & yet are responsible for over 50% of all the crimes.
Let the individual you are debating know that the FBI crime data is based on the arrest rate, and not the actual number of individual crimes. Also, make sure to let the individual know that the data does not say blacks are arrested for 52% of all crimes. That is a lie. The 2016 FBI crime data actually says that Whites are arrested for 69% of all crimes in their most current annual report. As far as the 52% … The FBI data says that Blacks represent 52% of those arrested for murder, but that there many precincts, especially those representing largely white communities, who are not reporting their arrests by race. So we have a large number of undocumented individuals who were responsible for murder, not included in those percentages. We also have a large number of individuals who were never arrested for murder who would fall in the White race category …. So the claim is tainted and FALSE. Make sure to also add that 50% of those who are exonerated for being wrongfully convicted of a crime are Black males who were wrongfully convicted of murder.

Irish were slaves who had it worse off than Blacks, but they worked hard and were eventually accepted.
Inform the individual that 82 Irish scholars and writers signed an open letter denouncing the Irish slave myth already.
https://medium.com/@Limerick1914/open-letter-to-irish-central-irish-examiner-and-scientific-american-about-their-irish-slaves-3f6cf23b8d7f#.tb66klcft
Ask the individual to explain the Irish history regarding the Saint Patrick's Battalion? Ask them to elaborate on how many Irish deserted or defected from the United States Army, and fought as part of the Mexican Army against the United States in the Mexican–American War of 1846–8. Also, have the individual you are debating explain why the Irish were never discriminated against from gaining the benefits of the GI Bill regarding FHA Loans after coming home from WWII.

MLK was a Republican.
Let the individual know that this false rumor was cosigned by Aveda KIng, MLK’s niece, who has since apologized for pushing the falsehood, and has a public statement denouncing this false claim BELOW.
The public statement reads as the following:
“I have few regrets in my life. At the top of the list is the demise of two children in my womb, and one miscarriage. Next to that, I regret having said to a group of peers that my Uncle M. L. (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) was a Republican. I said that without having all the facts.
My grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. was a registered Republican. Uncle M. L. was an independent, who in his own words tended to vote Democrat. I assumed that since granddaddy was a Republican, Uncle M. L. was too. After all, before the election of President John F. Kennedy, the majority of African-American voters were Republicans.
Granddaddy convinced a large block of blacks to vote for President John Kennedy after he helped to get my uncle out of jail during those turbulent days. Uncle M. L. tended to vote Democrat, but remained independent because he found weaknesses in both parties.”
The truth of the matter is that God isn’t a Republican or a Democrat or a tea party voter. God doesn’t vote. The squabbling and division among the parties are tragic.

You Black Supremacists are just as bad as the KKK.
Ask the individual you are debating what, and who exactly, are these so-called Black supremacist, and how many laws have these individuals passed in congress to target and harm Whites in America. Also ask the individual to provide the doctrine of these so-called black supremacists, and have them show examples of their catastrophic inflictions towards Whites.
Why do you hate Whites so much?
Often when debating on social media, individuals promoting White supremacists propaganda will ask why you hate whites. This is a deflection from the fact that you are calling them out for their racists’ views. Make sure the individual comprehends there is a difference between debating against racists pseudo-White nationalist propaganda vs Not like White people in general, which are two totally different things. Make sure the individual comprehends there are Whites who agree with you … and disagree with them and their racist’s views, and that you are addressing the individual and their White supremacists views directly ... & not Whites in general. Let them know that you are aware they are deflecting and to playing the victim, and that they are trying to blend in with non-racists whites, but their tactic is not working.
Facts have nothing to do with your feelings.
This is when you pull out your sources debunking all their white supremacists' propaganda and have them to address the sources. You use the same words on them while posting your sources. Call them out for their hypocrisy if they continue in denial after you present your sources.
The confederacy is about heritage, not hate.
Ask the individual why the confederate states constantly addressed the need to preserve slavery throughout the documents written as their justification for abandoning the Union and seceding.
Give them this link and have them to explain: http://www.civil-war.net/pages/ordinances_secession.asp
Ask them what exactly are those confederate heritage and values in which they celebrate.
Communism and socialism are wicked and evil.
Ask the individual to address the fact that millions of indigenous people all throughout the America’s have experienced genocide directly through capitalists influence, and that many Africans have lost their lives as well. Ask the individual to explain why so many Black organizations or individuals fighting against White supremacy were often linked to socialists or communists by the FBI, including MLK. Might there be a correlation between the history of Blacks fighting against White supremacy, always being linked to socialism and communism, as to why so many suspected white supremacists see socialism and communism as evil?
Jews are manipulating and using Blacks.
Ask the individual to explain how many Jews were involved in writing the Naturalization Act of 1790. Make sure they know that the Naturalization Act of 1790 stipulated that only “free whites” could become citizens of the United States. Ask the individual to also explain why Jews are listed as Whites in crime data and in the population census. Do they separate Jews from Whites when talking about FACTS while using the term per capita regarding crime data? Are the Jews responsible for not separating themselves from Whites in crime data as well, and are they responsible for all the half-truths and cherry picking of data, that are often promoted, when people talk about crime and race in America?
Egypt is not part of Africa and Egyptians were not Black. Show the individual you are debating a map of the continent of Africa, and show them where Egypt is located on the continent. Show the individual how all the new studies claiming Egyptians were not Black (dark-skinned) Africans, all say says these new DNA tests were performed on mummies in one centralized location in the country of Egypt. We happen to know that this location is known for its European invasion. Make sure they see in the article where it says that the subjects tested were only found in these centralized locations within Egypt. We know many Europeans took on the culture of Egypt and accepted mummification, after capturing Egypt. Ask them why all of a sudden this selective centralized DNA testing is dismissing the long historical documentation of 100’s of years of written descriptions of Egyptians being described as Black Africans by respected Greek and Roman scholars who documented their journeys. If you read all these articles talking about Egyptian DNA, they all read: The team's findings do come with one obvious caveat: "All our genetic data (was) obtained from a single site in Middle Egypt and may not be representative for all of ancient Egypt," the paper concedes. While the study might be limited in scope, the team believes it has made some technical breakthroughs.
Virtually all of the early Latin eyewitnesses described the ancient Egyptians as black-skinned with woolly hair. Several ancient Greek historians noted that Egyptians and Ethiopians had complexions that were “melanchroes,” which most scholars translate as black, while some scholars translate it as “dark” or “dark skinned.”
Some of the most-often quoted historians are Diodorus Siculus and Herodotus.
According to most translations, Herodotus wrote that a Greek oracle was known to be from Egypt because she was “black,” that the natives of the Nile region are “black with heat,’ and that Egyptians were “black skinned with woolly hair.”
Diodorus Siculus wrote that the Ethiopians considered the Egyptians their colony.
Lucian observes an Egyptian boy and notices that he is not merely black, but has thick lips.
Appollodorus called Egypt the country of the black-footed ones.
Aeschylus, a Greek poet, wrote that Egyptian seamen had “black limbs.”
Gaston Maspero states that “by the almost unanimous testimony of ancient [Greek] historians, they [ancient Egyptians] belonged to the African race, which settled in Ethiopia.”
Black Lives Matter consists of racists and terrorists.
Ask the individual you are debating to explain what and who exactly “Black Lives Matter” is. Explain to the individual how random people protesting against police brutality are not necessarily connected to Black Lives matter in any way or fashion. Ask the individual you are debating to list specific individuals who are terrorists and racists who are directly linked to Black Lives Matter. Which Branch did these individuals belong to and what were there acts of terrorism and racism. Ask them why so many suspected White supremacists are linking random Black criminals as members of Black lives matter.
Race relations were ok in America until President Obama divided the nation.
Ask the individual you are debating what do the words ok, and good, mean? Ask them to provide evidence of this racial harmony that was bubbling throughout America before President Obama took office. Ask them did the racial harmony in America start improving before the Rodney King verdict of 1992, or after the Rodney king verdict. Ask them did the racial harmony in America start getting better before the Katrina disaster in New Orleans, or after it?
All Lives Matter!
Ask the person you are debating to list one event or protest ever hosted in the name of “All lives Matter,” in recognition and support of lives being exploited around the globe. Also, ask them, do the lives of the unarmed Blacks who were killed matter to them, or were those Black victims just “thugs” who deserved to be killed by law enforcement.
I’m not a racist, I have Black friends/grew up around them.
Ask the individual you are debating if their Black friends know that they believe in pseudo theories which state that Whites are genetically superior to Blacks, on average, via IQ. If they deflect, ask them again if their Black friends know that they think Blacks are the dumbest race on the planet via IQ.
Africans were better off after being colonized.
Educate the individual you are debating about the millions of Africans who were slaughtered and killed during the process of colonization in Africa. They had their natural resources taken away from them , and many were often subjugated as workers for the colonizers, often doing hard labor for very low wages, if any wage at all. Then ask, how were Africans better off?
African civilizations have no written language, and did nothing in the advancement towards modern civilization.
Ask the individual to elaborate on the source of their studies in regards to African history, and have them to list several book in which they have studied regarding African history. Ask them to address the “Meroitic Script” of the Nubian civilization (ancient Sudan) and to also address the ancient Ethiopic script known as "GE'EZ." Ask them to make their case against the following civilizations individually, and explain how each one did not make a single contribution towards modern civilization.
1) Benin 2) Mali Empire 3) Kush Nubia 4) Great Zimbabwe 5) Askum Empre 6) Songhai Empire
Have the individual you are debating to address Khami - of the Torwa Dynasty who mastered stone building techniques and pottery styles.
Have the individual you are debating to address Kilwa Kisiwani who were known for wealth and commerce between 13th and 15th centuries AD, as a great trading center - present-day Tanzania
Too many Blacks are dependent on welfare and government, instead of working hard.
Ask the individual you are debating to source how many Blacks are dependent on welfare and government who are “Not” working … Ask them to source the same information for Whites. Out of the 38 Million Blacks living in America, ask them to present, from a legit government source, (not a White supremacists thinking tank document) where it shows how many Blacks are on welfare and government assistance, who are not working. We need to see the all the numbers they are using to conclude that too many Blacks are dependent on welfare and government, instead of working hard. We also want to compare these numbers to the amount of Whites who are using government assistance and welfare, who are not working as well.
Outside of peanut butter, what else have Blacks really invented?
Provide the individual with the links below … this is not something you really need to debate with them. Pushing out a few names will mean nothing to them, so you just need to give them links with extensive names and inventions.
Whites, on average, are genetically smarter than Blacks via IQ
Ask the individual you are debating the following questions: In your opinion, what was the most comprehensive study done regarding the study of African IQ? Who conducted it? How many subjects participated?
From the early 1900’s to the mid 1900’s, most of the early IQ tests, which were conducted at Ellis Island, stated that most Southern and Eastern European immigrants
87% of Russians
83% of Jews
80% of Hungarians
79% of Italians
were feeble-minded (retarded) having a mental age younger than 12. This study resulted in the immigration Act of 1924, minimizing the amount of southern and eastern Europeans allowed in the United States. We now consider that most of those old tests were conducted in bias fashion, making the results pseudo. When did IQ testing in America Stop being bias and pseudo? Provide a year, or decade, when IQ testing took the leap to becoming a sound non-bias practice.
Are all these scholars and trained professionals lying on #Wade #CharlesMurray and #RichardLynn? https://cehg.stanford.edu/letter-from-population-geneticists
@ScienceDaily research says measuring intelligence quotient /IQ by a singular, standardized test is misleading. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/12/121219133334.htm
@ScienceDaily research says African IQ scores prove flawed
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/01/100121155220.htm
I don’t see color but diversity is destroying democracy.
Post a picture of the colonization map of Africa with a question mark.
Affirmative Action is reverse racism.
Ask the individual you are debating how is affirmative action, reverse discrimination, when White women benefit most from it? Also ask the individual you are debating why they are complaining about affirmative and not saying a word about college legacy preferences? Is it due to the fact that mostly Whites benefit from college legacy preferences?
Not being able to say the N-word is a double standard.
Tell the person you are debating that when a Black or a White person says ni*ga or ni**er, they are both are acknowledging that the Black person is a victim of White supremacy.
Make America great again!
Ask the individual you are debating when did America become great, and what made it great? Then ask when did America stop being great?
What about Black on Black crime?
Ask the individual you are debating what about White on White crime.
