@Sam

Could you be more duplicitous and deceitful?

Hmm. Let’s review, shall we? My initial comment was

@Faizal_Ali

So your point seems to me that if someone says something complementary about a person of colour at any point in his life, he cannot be a White Supremacist.

And you just wrote:

@Sam

Not knowing any actual "White Supremacist"s, I’m sorry not to be able to say what an actual “White Supremacist” would offer in a way of compliment.
Allowing that a real actual “White Supremacist” would be hateful, I can’t imagine them making a compliment to your,

@Faizal_Ali

person of colour

of any significance.

I fail to see how surmising your actual viewpoint with near total accuracy is “duplicitous and deceitful.” Could you please explain?

@Sam

But maybe to you a actual “White Supremacist” is merely a label of convivence that you apply to

@Faizal_Ali

that a plurality of Americans

Ah, I see what might be confusing you. It appears you believe I have written that a plurality of Americans are themselves White Supremacists. Allow me to disabuse you of that notion: I did not write, nor do I believe, any such thing.

Hope that helps!

@Sam

It is such an outlandish claim; may I suggest you ask the person who made the claim what evidence he has for it?

Oh, it is quite simple. Donald Trump, a White Supremacist, received 49.8% of the vote in the last US Presidential election.

That was a higher percentage than any other candidate received and it, therefore, constitutes a plurality.

I am admittedly making the assumption that, when someone votes for a candidate in a Presidential election, they are A-OK with that person actually becoming President. That seems to me a perfectly reasonable assumption. But, if you disagree, let us know your reasoning.

@Roy

The second seems difficult to determine since only a quarter of USAns voted for him.

I am presuming that those who voted provide a reasonably representative sample of the population as a whole. Similar conclusions are regularly drawn by researchers using much smaller sample sizes.
