White supremacist?[edit]

How is he a "White supremacist"? I mean there's a difference between finding a source on the internet calling him that and him being that. What's the definition of "White supremacist" here? Perhaps I should bring this to his attention for a potential libel case. 185.125.226.2 (talk) 11:52, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Because he has specifically said "white people" are superior, and "black people", inferior. The video on the main article quotes numerous white supremacist statements he has made. He's also a racist lunatic who said he is "pro-slavery". A libel case for quoting his own crazy comments? Thanks for the laugh.Tuna (talk) 13:55, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Where did he say the first claim? I would take your reports skeptically. If he said that, wouldn't that make him a "Black inferiorist" or something? There's plenty of slavery in the world, all practised by non Whites. How is this "White supremacist"? 86.189.15.0 (talk) 14:09, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
His own comments made on camera are in the video:
1: 40 - Woes says he is an "anti-Semite" and says there are "problems with the Jewish people".
3: 38 - Woes says he's a "Neo-reactionary", "white nationalist" and "alt right".
3: 51 - Woes makes a racist comment about "white genes" being "contaminated" with "Africa".
3: 53 - Woes makes an xenophobic comment about his experiences with "Turks".
3: 59 - Woes when asked what is the most "extreme right wing position" he holds, says he's "pro-slavery".
That's the first 4 minutes of 17, there are dozens more comments like this. Is there any point in denying he's a Neo-Nazi or white supremacist crackpot?Tuna (talk) 16:52, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

On an interracial Jewish wedding[edit]

Tolerant: Planning for my granddaughters' wedding in Tel Aviv and seeing so many inspiring images of young, Jewish couples![1]

Robertson: That woman looks East Asian.[2]

Tolerant: Shut up, Woes.[3]

Robertson: Any children that couple have will not be real Jews.[4]

Not sure what to take from this? Fuzzy "Cat" Potato, Jr. (talk/stalk) 04:34, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Millennial/GenX[edit]

> he is, in fact, a Gen X'er

Gen X birth years end in the late 70s; Millennial birth years begin in the early 80s. He is a millennial, no matter how confusing that is to crotchety old folk who think 'millennial' is just a hip way to say 'teen'. — Unsigned, by: 86.171.74.215 / talk 02:22, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

The source we have (assuming it is accurate) says he was 34 in January 2017. Assuming he turned 35 in 2017, he was born in 1982. People born in the early 80s don't neatly fit into one generation over the other:
  • Generation XWikipedia: There are no precise dates for when Generation X starts or ends. Demographers and researchers typically use birth years ranging from the early-to-mid 1960s to the early 1980s.
  • MillennialsWikipedia: There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years.
I wouldn't mind if you removed the claim. It's a trivial criticism anyway. CowHouse (talk) 08:53, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
