You have the responsibility to prove that the people who posted in that video are one person on many accounts. The burden of proof is on you to back up that claim.
The fact that it has many more "likes" than "dislikes" is proof enough.

Racism will never go away. It exists in some of the most diverse places of the world like Brazil. Racism is a natural response to an unnatural environment (diversity and multi-culturalism.) Your social philosophy is inherently anti-human.
Yes and pedophilia will never go away either. But we are moving towards a society where racism is only slightly more accepted than pedophilia every day.

Also: A marxist looks bad no matter what. More people died under your ideology than by right wing fascist and national socialist. But nazi germany paralyzed and frightened the western world to the point that left wing attrocities are largely ignored and left wing ideology more openly accepted as a result. It's unfair but it's the cards that we were dealt.
Again, 36% of Americans respond favorably to the term "socialist". And Marxism had nothing to do with the USSR, that was Leninism. If you ever read Marx and then look at what Lenin did you will see there is a massive difference between the two.

You'll lose eventually because nothing lasts forever and socialism and/or marxism is a historically proven failure.
Morality has nothing to do with interracial/ethnic marriages, except when it "offends" the morals of people like you. Every person has a different set of morals, which are based on personal standards and behavior that they set for themselves. If you want to replace the word racism with "morality" because it sounds better to your ears, then go right ahead.
Interracial/ethnic marriage is a reality. The only place morality has in considering marrying outside one's race is if the morals of each person are in line with the other. That was a big consideration when I married my husband whose skin color, ethnicity, and religion, all different from me, weren't a consideration. It was all about the person.
Morality is subjective. Your moral standards are no better or worse than mine. To think otherwise is arrogant and incorrect.
For example, we here in the west view burqa's as morally wrong because we think it violates the rights of women. But for arab people that's morally acceptable and many, if not most, women choose to wear that garb on their own.

You would be correct if my motive for opposing race mixing was that other races are genetically undesirable because that would imply racial superiority as per the exact definition of "Racism."

racism
Use Racism in a sentence
rac·ism [rey-siz-uhm] Show IPA
noun
1.
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2.
a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3.
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
But if my motive were one of ethnic preservation, then you cannot accuse me of being a racist. And as such you have no choice but to concede.
My motive is one of preserving an ethnic group. Not of hatred of another group of people. Thus your use of the word "Racism" is inaccurate.
You're a hypocrite. You made a racist statement about white southerners and their accent.
I just said Southern accent, I didn't say anything about skin color...so, are there no blacks with southern accents?

I'd get labeled a racist for mocking a black person by criticizing ebonics dialect in a hurry.
Only ghetto people use ebonics. Many blacks and even more mixed people like myself use proper and even, dare I say, antiquated English. I myself indulge in such palaver from time to time as a form of ceaseless anachronism. That is indeed the genesis of my user name: A gentleman of a bygone era who is more than likely to provide a thorough beat down to any and all douche bags he happens upon.

But many of us on the right are making progress. Slowly, but progress is being made. Perhaps the large amount of people who were outraged over the commercial is a sign of right wing progress.
But in the end, you'll lose eventually because nothing lasts forever and socialism and/or marxism is a historically proven failure.
I edited your post to highlight what I want to address.,
You are right, as long as there are people like you racism will never go away, especially when you seem to think you live in an unnatural environment.
You are also right about nothing lasting forever. There was great gain when slavery ended and the civil rights movements brought about change and those changes are permanent. I guess you see yourself as being on the losing end of those events.
I'm not interested in racism in other countries, but what is going on in the US. This is an ever changing society, and change can be slow - especially racism. But as long as there are people who resist change, harbor resentment for people who are different ON THE OUTSIDE racism will exist, in particular white and black, but especially where it concerns whites vs. everyone different.
What progress do you see your party making? If you consider the responses to the commercial as right wing progress, no wonder you are the losing party and there is no hope for you and yours.
AdWeek reported that the comment section contained numerous references to Nazis, 'troglodytes' and 'racial genocide
im not a regulation guy, but im getting there with the internet. im tired of reading crap like this from mainly white males who are so jealous of a black guy with a white woman. im glad cheerios isnt backing down.
Ban Cheerios, that'll stop them from taking our women.

Nothing in this world is immune to the effects of change. I'm not on the losing end, I'm on the opposing end. My end is a natural response to your end. My end cannot exist without your end and vice versa.
It's called Reactionary Response. As I said you give birth to those who oppose you and your ideals, this is why you cannot ever fully defeat my "end." There may very well be a time where my "end" dominates over your "end."
Maybe in my life time, maybe not. Only time will tell.

The only ones with no hope are the posers who make race an issue when it comes to the republican party. Unable to defend the horrible policies and lies from the democrats leadership the only thing left is too deflect and deny.
It's about policy. Big government is a failure and spewing nonsense about one political party having the moral high ground is just that, nonsense.
