Both past (and present) visual vestiges of hatred and the desire to continue the path. |
Other than Freddie Gray, nobody was killed in Baltimore. Now you're saying that you are okay with people plowing crowds of people down with a motor vehicle at 50mph because some other dudes burned down a cvs and looted some stores. |
Can you read that Trump did NOT condemn white supremacists here or anywhere. He didn't even condemn driving a car into a crow od people. Yours is a misplaced response. |
I don't even know what your statement is supposed to mean. Yes white supremacy is hateful/hate filled. So are other kinds of supremacy. People who are not supremacists should be able to have civic discourse about issues like these statues except there is no forum for it. Safe conversation space of people who disagree has been annihilated in this country by people who only know how to shout. |
Who took this photo? Should be nominated for a Pulitzer. A black police officer protecting a group of men who wish him harm. Incredible. |
Right, but the PP above who claimed this was about a statue and I assume southern heritage is failing to grasp that Nazi elements of the campaign. If this were solely about a statue, we wouldn't see the Nazi stuff. |
That's right. Trump's condemnation is for car killers in London and Paris since he has no voters there. Here we get generic responses. |
This is totally wrong. Plenty of people who disagree have had and continue to have civic discourse about issues like these statues. The alt-right simply lost the debate. State legislatures, city councils, school boards, governors, and the courts have all engaged is civic discourse on these issues and decided to remove statues, change school names, etc. The alt-right is fighting a rear-guard action attempting to use intimidation to in response to their losing the debate. |
They were screaming "Blood and soil." They are nazis, and so are you by supporting them. Own it. Fly it proudly so we know who you are. |
this! |
That's not what one of the organizers, former KKK leader David Duke said. If it was about a statute located in Charlottesville Virginia, there would not have been so many outsiders there. That statute affected Virginians only, not Ohioans, Tennesseeans, Carolinians, etc |
Indeed. Reminds me of the cops who protect people shouting "Pigs in a Blanket...". |
You have this backwards. Republicans are the ones who want to keep labor as cheap as possible. They're the ones who've been resisting immigration reform - even when they had Bush 43 in office and he pushed for it. We could have a strict system, but first the immigrant workers (that are definitely needed) would have to be given their civil rights, paid a decent wage and protected from abuse. Uneducated citizens don't understand how the abuse and lack of rights seep into their own lives. But that's only one of the reasons education has such low value in this country. Another reason is that there aren't enough wealthy voters to keep Republicans in office. |
+1. He was brave to have his back to the very people who would lynch and hang him from a tree given half a chance. |

I am against all forms of bigotry, regardless of the color of the skin. The Alt-right movement isn't about racism, rather the identification of the white race being maligned. They came to protest a removal of a statue in the PC world of what Virginia has become, nothing more. I agree there were elements of this group that is racist, but not the vast majority and certainly not the purpose of this protest.
I condemn all forms of violence, regardless of party affiliation. Peaceful protest of all forms should be allowed and in the end I condemn McAwful for canceling the protest at Lee Park yesterday which helped escalated the violence. |
