So if Hillary were President there would be no KKK or White Supremecist rallies? This was gonna happen regardless of who was POTUS. You move or remove a confederate statue and people will protest. It became a national tragedy when that idiot drove that car into a crowd.
not if they have a strong inkling that the CIC won't denounce their activities. I do, however, believe this has been boiling for 8 years with a black man as president.
There he just called out all those hate groups. Is he still a racist?
Yep, just named the KKK, Neo Nazis, White Supremacist specifically...Way better speech than Obama's dodging when BLM was setting Baltimore on fire...not that I'm a "trumpito" or anything.
And now all the hate just vanished just by saying those words, same with ISIS, they packed up and went home the first time he said "radical islamic terrorism". Okay now that we just defeated Neo Nazis and ISIS, we can get back to helping the middle class and maybe dropping less bombs on defenseless kenyans.
What I have found most infuriating in the past couple of days is the refusal of SO many people to acknowledge the distinction between good and evil. This has been the weekend of false equivalencies like we've rarely been able to witness before.

You should wait to see what Jeff Session's Department of Justice comes up as far as civil rights indictments in the next few days if you want to really see how Trumpito feels about RACISM.
ID'ing perps should be easy, as There's video and photographs of close to ALL of the people who came there to spew their backward-assed beliefs.
I'm not going to hold my breath (unless it's about thoughts and prayers or best regards).
Let's see 36 hours no mention from the President of the Nazi white supremacist group's violence. On the the other hand in less than an hour he calls out the CEO of Merck an African American businessman.
What do think those white supremacists are thinking or feeling today?
For me I think they're saying the MFing President has our backs.....high fives.

Here is what I was referring to in a post yesterday about "radical Islamic terror" and hypocrisy. Trump is famous for asking Obama and whoever else, to condemn radical islamic terror(ism), Im para-phasing, how can you defeat it if you cant even say it. Trump campaigned on that phrase, saying it over and over. How stupid is it to think that saying radical islamic terror will somehow help solve it? Terrorists with their ears to Obama are suddently going to stop plowing into crowds and blowing up nightclubs if/when Obama says the words "radical islamic terror". Since charlottesville, everyone and their brother wants Trump to condemn specifically Nazis and the KKK because Im guessing by specifically saying KKK and Nazi Trump will suddenly rip the hate from there hearts and minds and they will trade in their Nazi flags for rainbow ones. It completely stupid on all sides. Its this a form of symptom blaming and not problem solving. I dont know how to stop racism, you cant ignore but you cant suppress their speech either.
Is racism all of a sudden a threat to our democracy? Should we take to the streets to raise awareness that white supremacists are racist? Should we protest that our president didnt condemn violence enough, by mentioning Nazis and the KKK?
You're missing a huge aspect of this. trump himself is a white supremacist and has white supremacists working with him in the White House. Therefore the threat trump poses to democracy is actual.
Maybe I am missing the point but I do not recall Trump ever being called a white supremacist/racist in his entire life until he ran against Democrats, he was a fairly public figure with a TV show for however many years. Im not a Trump life expert, I never paid much attention to him outside of his Atl City casinos and his purchase of a Jupiter golf club.
Would you put more stock in Trump calling out David Duke unprompted 17 years ago or would you put more stock in Trump now as president? I would guess he has more to gain politically if he called him out now, he had nothing to gain 17 years ago. If he is was racist why would he call out Duke unprompted, he wasnt even asked about Duke specifically.
I don't see how this white supremacy is anymore of a threat to our democracy now then 5 or 10 years ago. As I said I would have thought it would have been a bigger problem with Obama in the WH.

"There is never moral equivalence between Nazis and people who are against Nazis because one side are Nazis. To say that violence against Nazis is the same as violence by Nazis is saying it wouldn't have mattered who won the second world war." -Matt Haig
"Bothsideism" is a bullshit paradigm invented by bullies in an effort to claim they are victimized by those who stand up to their bullying. Self defence isn't bullying. Defending someone else from attack isn't bullying.
This is why we can't fall for this garbage Trumpism of "both sides are wrong". Because ONE side is simply fighting for their right to exist, their rights under the law. And the other side is fighting to retain omnipotent white dude power that should've never existed in the first place.
Any suggestion that fighting Nazis with violence makes us guilty is the same as saying that WWII was about bullying Nazis.

Perhaps a small shout out to those in Guam, Seoul, and Japan, as well, a situation he created by just being running his mouth...
Job numbers? Seriously?
