Earlier today a racist—sorry, someone who is totes not racist cuz believing in HBD isn't racist especially if you hedge a bit and I can't believe anyone would ever think I'm racist just cuz I said black people are genetically predisposed to be stupid 🙄🙄🙄—came to our humble sneer club to try to find debate opponents. As our rules sticky helpfully informs, this is not a place to debate racists.

I know it's a popular savior fantasy to hope that your facts and logics will be the ones that finally convinces this poor lost soul of a racist to see the light. But it's a fantasy. It's very unlikely to happen. (Indeed, up until the moment I banned this racist they were still clinging to and arguing for their racist views in the sneerclub thread they created.) Don't delude yourself into thinking otherwise. You may find some other value in arguing with racists—maybe it helps you hone your understanding, maybe you're a sicko who finds it fun. That's fine. But don't do it here. Sneerclub is not the place for it. If you really want to argue with racists, there's a lot of subreddits for you.

I don't want to have to perma ban a bunch of people. So be responsible and keep your racist debating to r/TheMotte. If you see a racist come to try to debate, report it and don't get suckered into their trap.
