It's sadly predictable that the activist papers are smearing @TuckerCarlson as a racist for his 'Not how white people fight' text. It's disappointing that many conservative outlets aren't rebutting this nonsense for fear of being called a racist also. A brief thread. 
Carlson said 'It's not how white men fight' relating to an incident where three Trump supporters beat up an Antifa member. The full context shows a deeply human moment of reflection wherein Carlson rejects the all-too-common impulse to dehumanise political opponents.
Carlson grew up in a well off neighbourhood & attended several private education facilities. He is used to moving in well-to-do circles where physical fights are taboo & where, when they happen, will be one-on-one, not gang. I witnessed this teaching in private schools. So...
When Carlson says 'It's not how white men fight, he is speaking from his experience as a white man from predominantly white and fairly privileged environments. He's right. From his experience this is not how white men fight. You can call him elitist at worst but not racist.
Also not insignificant is the fact that Carlson has a degree in History. Again, I can relate. I do too. When you study History you see the best and worst of societies and the best throughout time have valued chivalry and rules of combat. Societies run by mobs fall fast...
Carlson spoke from his experience. I believe he did not have racist intentions. These activist papers trying to bury him however, leading by saying his text was racist, know what they are doing. The responses from their readers is revealing. They call him racist. But against who?
This is the key point. Carlson spoke about white people, something he is qualified to speak about. The people calling him racist infer that he thinks other groups are inferior. Which ones specifically? Does Carlson think Japanese people fight like that? Cambodians?...
The reality is that the people calling Carlson a racist all have a specific race in their own minds when they call his comment racist. They are projecting their own prejudices onto him. So...
There are two possibilities for their attacks:
1. They are projecting their own racist views onto him.
or
2. What the are inferring from Carlson's comment is a truism.
If you're going to call him a racist, at least name the race you believe he is referring to, racists.
