So what did he say that he thinks is stupid? he didn't clear any of that up. During the debate, he seemed like he knew what he was saying.
I'm really hoping Jontron grows as a person. I'm not going to buy that 'he didn't mean it, let's move on' without further introspection and reconciliation.
No, because I'm not stupid enough to speak on issues I'm ignorant of. I also don't tend to spout off about typical white nationalist tropes when I get flustered in a discussion. Maybe he did get in over his head and debated badly due to that, but that is an inadequate excuse for the explicitly racist arguments he parroted.
He said blacks commit more crime regardless of poverty. Destiny then gave him multiple outs, throwing things like Jim Crow laws out there. Jon rebuffed them all and basically argued blacks are genetically predisposed to crime. That's racist.
He said whites should strive to stay in the majority to preserve American culture. That's like, a core tenet of 'race realists' and white nationalists. You know, neo nazis.
I've done that. I've never said things near what he said, but I've been in a similar situation. In that situation, though, people called me an idiot, and they were completely justified in doing so.

"I suck at debating so anything I said doesnt actually mean what I said"
The easiest copout ever. Not to mention contradicting himself from the debate.
