"Unite the Right" racist protest turns violent

Postby Tesseracts » Sat Aug 12, 2017 7:36 pm

In Charlottesville, Virginia, a lot of white supremacists gathered with torches.

Instead of singing "Kill the Beast," they were chanting "Jew will not replace us." There were about 500 protestors and many more counter protestors. Recently a car drove into the crowd.

3 reported dead, several, including a minor, wounded.

Of course y'all know this, but I wanna say it somewhere. There's a difference between not feeling white guilt and feeling white pride. And not feeling white guilt doesn't mean denying the racism and hardships endured by minorities. These idiots obviously missed that memo. This is America, so they can say whatever they want (basically), and it's great that there is the technology to take pictures of all of them. I try to give everyone a chance at a conversation, but if I know they are a zealot of any brand going into the conversation, I might be okay with just ignoring them.

If you don't reinforce good behavior, you give no reason for it to continue.

You know what? I'm going to give Donnie the benefit of the doubt here. As far as I know he has never advocated for anti-Semitism or street violence. I think this is a bridge too far, even for him.

I do recall that he didn't immediately denounce his KKK endorsement.

If he goes to Virginia and say "God Bless America" you can carve the dates of his second term in stone.

It's quite possible Donald Trump intends to blame the violence on the left. Right now his message is for everyone but it wouldn't be the first time he has gone back on what he said.

Trump can do or say anything he wants no matter what we say, and we are stuck with him for a few years no matter what we think. I'm not his parent and my positive reinforcement means less than nothing. If you constantly get beaten down and accept it every time you're a sucker. Trump is one of the main forces corrupting our political climate. Trump and others like him are the reason many Americans hate and fear their fellow countrymen. Don't believe me? Look at the video I posted from the NRA trying to inspire civil war. A single Tweet does nothing to erase what has been done. I'll save my congratulations for real action to bridge the hatred.
