Analyzing a right-wing Medium article.

How the extreme right hides behind the ‘conservative’ label and fuels hate.

The foundation of a hateful narrative: ignoring facts, poor logic, unproven and false claims.

In this article I look at Gregory A’s (now Gregory Chambers) article published on Medium entitled Kaepernick’s Hate of America Proves How Great America is by Gregory A. (You are welcome for the link and the extra views Gregory.)

This article by Gregg, who describes himself as the conservative voice on Medium, is an example of how unfounded claims, distortions and poor reasoning are used to fuel preconceptions into anger.

In a country where Navy Seal dogs are trained to attack targets wearing a Colin Kaepernick shirt, (what more evidence does one need for institutional racism?) Gregory writes an article that purports that what ‘actually happens’ is exactly the other way round, namely that Blacks hate America. Now if you believe that the US is better-off with a President urging the medical establishment to investigate injecting bleach as a cure for Covid-19, then you will probably also believe that there’s no institutional racism, and even that Blacks hate America. But you will have your work cut out for you if you want to provide a valid argument to sustain such a claim.
