For any statement from now to 2025 if a poll of manifold users is asked "Was Richard Hanania's statement that [X] unnecessarily provocative and racist" Will the Yesses outnumber the Nos, and will Yes + No comprise more than half of votes. at least 10 answers, ideally using manifolds poll tool.
Options
yes
No
i don't know
Question badly framed
Text may alter slightly but this is basically what I'm gonna ask
The Yes side gets to make the case 3 times, if all don't resolve this question yes, this question resolves no, regardless of future statements.
The Yes side will have to coordinat their 3 poll attempts in some way. Random people can't just burn them.
1,000
3.00@MIMIRMAGNVS no, this is when there is a whole year of Hanania statement research to see if there is anything that yes-holders believe can win a vote. The cut-off is only in regards to what Hanania statements are included
No one has posted a poll.
@JDTurk We will have archeological digs for Hanania 2024 statements going well into the next millenium
Thoughts on this one YES holders?
@IsaacKing I wasn’t trying to say that at all, I was pointing to his comments such as “Palestinian culture is rotten to the core” which I personally think are unnecessarily provocative (and racist in that it condemns an entire ethnic group).
@ShadowyZephyr I was just trying to collect some examples, I think Manifold as a whole would agree some of these are racist.

Uses the phrase "third world people" in place of "blacks", but it's clear that's what he means. I think he gets away with this one in the public eye because it's making fun of white nationalists, but when his statement is effectively "white nationalists are just as stupid as black people", I think that qualifies as unnecessarily provocative and racist under the most widespread definitions of racism.
@NathanpmYoung I don't think he means "blacks". I think he means what he says, 'third world people', which includes people in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, but not necessarily Americans or Europeans, regardless of race.
Not yet, we have over a year to wait before resolution is incoming. He'll say something more explicit than that, and if he doesn't, we can use it then. Let's wait for the three best examples
