Charlottesville 2017 | When White People "Chimp Out"

Good on ya.

Right now, in this moment, I surrender.

 

That's a mighty good cut for an electric chair

 

Must read.

No excerpts. The whole thing.

 

Way more than you need to know about Richard Spenncer written by a childhood classmate:

I say this with all sincerity and empathy as a former-Christian:

I will never surrender Jesus of Nazareth to these bigots.

 

Since I am reading that he is only being charged with SECOND degree murder, think again. If true, this is complete bullshit. That was premeditated as ********.

 

and Corey Gardner (R-CO)

 

After all the dog whistling Trump and others have done over the years, its mighty rich of them to condemn this. Their political expediency will not be remembered kindly in history.

 

Remember, Sunday morning is when the country is most segregated, as they say. American Christianity has long more been part of the problem rather than the solution on numerous issues. That speaks volumes about the "power of the Holy Spirit" to work in people's lives.

 

Worth reading! This Virginian nalied it....

"It's No Longer About Southern Heritage. In Fact, It Never Was.
It's time Southerners recognize the lies we've been telling ourselves for over a century."


"I WILL NEVER SEE A CONFEDERATE FLAG OR MONUMENT AND SEPARATE IT FROM A HISTORY OF WHITE SUPREMACY."


"The South lost the war. Over a century later, we're still fighting one—but it has nothing to do with states' rights or Southern pride. It is about racism, intolerance, and hatred. And at the center of it all are symbols that, despite the well-intended Southern narratives that have failed to reframe them as anything else, are the strongest representation of racism in our country's history."

Nobody is trying to legislate away their right to marry.
Nobody is trying to make them buy insurance to pay for 'male health care.'

The law never

Enslaved their great-grandparents
Robbed their grandparents
Imprisoned their parents
Shot them when unarmed

There is no massive effort at the state and local level to disenfranchise them of the vote.

There is no travel ban on them because of their religion.
There is no danger for them when they carry dangerous weaponry publicly.

I had no idea what antifa was until yesterday. I now even made someones antifa list on twitter yesterday. #alwayslearning

 

Just wanted to say what happened in Charlottesville was horrible. I have zero issues if anyone calls what happened a "terror attack". If a car is purposely driven through a crowd of people it should be fully investigated. I also can't say the members of the "alt-right" haven't committed serious acts of violence, bc even it it was just 1 guy who did it, it still happened at a White Nationalist protest. Can't escape that fact.

Also have to say what happened there was not completely one sided. Granted the level of violence was not equal. But Antifa/Black Bloc was there to escalate the protest to instigate violence as they always do. Deny it all you want, but they want violence to erupt out of these protests. It's their M.O.

This is why anyone attacking the Presidents statement yesterday need to check themselves. Yes the White Nationalist scum deserve most of the blame, but Antifa/Black Bloc played a role in this as well. Since the MSM refuses to report on Antifa (see CleansheetBsc's post), the President was not going to give them a free pass. Antifa/Black Bloc is a violent hate group in their own right. All violent hate groups need to be called out, and that's why Trump worded the statement as he did.

 

Then stop demanding they call it domestic terrorism (which it is). FFS, you can't on the one hand demand that Republicans call it domestic terror and then when they do, say "makes no difference."

 

Antifa are mostly armed rabble douches but as long as they dont drive cars into into a group of neonazis with a more complicated explanation like it happened yesterday the other way round all your and your presidents trying to relativize this incident is not going to work.

 

No, it isn't. Trump, who employs white supremacists in his cabinet is incapable of condemning those people and groups he aligns with unless forced to. That list includes the KKK (of which his dad was a member), white supremacists, Putin and Russia. The reasons are obvious.

 

Charlottesville mayor just said Trump & Republicans decided to "dance with the devil" when they embraced the alt right & allowed their movement to be resurrected.

Trumpism, among other things, is a white nationalist movement at its core. It really must be dismantled.

 

Remember, in Trump's America, being anti fascist is an insult.

People of an historical bent will remember people getting in trouble for being premature anti-fascists.

 

Antifa does hate white supremacists. So yes, CCJ, they'd hate you too.
