Help me with this.
I have recently got involved in a nascent debate with a fucking fool person about Margaret Sanger. As an antichoicer, the fucking fool person has come out with the usual horseshit about how Sanger was a racist, just wanted to get rid of all black people, etc etc.
I have stayed away from the debate for a few days because I don't want to lose my rag, but I am not going to let it go: when I know I can reply without using the words fuck, fucker, and fuckhead, I am going to respond to his latest load of pious ignorance by providing the (very readily available to anyone who can actually be bothered to do their own FUCKING research, instead of just taking the anti-choice propagandists' word for it) evidence that actually Sanger was NOT a racist, and was working WITH the black community, not against them.
I just get so damn tired of doing other people's research for them that I am finding it really hard to compose anything even remotely civil. I just want to write "fuck off you retard," but that's not going to change any hearts or minds, is it?
So will someone help me draft it? I'd be very grateful.
ETA: I have the factual material I want to show the guy (evidence that the quotes he cites are either made up completely, or wrongly attributed to Sanger; Rev Martin Luther King's tribute to her; etc).
I just need help coming up with a polite way of saying, "You're a fucking retard. Have you ever actually bothered to do any reading on Sanger at all? Why are you so ready to swallow whatever bullshit you're told by propagandists? Is this the best you can do - making baseless personal attacks on the woman who founded PP - and do you honestly believe that this means you gain points in the debate?"
Actually, I suppose the problem is that I DON'T want to say ANY of that: I just want to present him with the evidence in a civil way. I really don't want to just copy and paste, because people like him typically take that as an opportunity to say "omg u can't even argue for yourself!!!!1" - ignoring the fact that they themselves, er, can't argue AT ALL.
