Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia**[W:808]**

Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

I think most people got his drift.


Of course .............there will be a few simpletons who didn't get it.

Uh, no...you have yet to point out where Trump condemned white supremacists.

You said he did, show me what he said, or admit you were wrong.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

We should be neither racists nor destroyers of statues. Accept history and learn from it.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

Today is all about Trump refusing to rebuke white supremacists and their behavior.

For shame.


And those who support him? For shame.

You don't think he rebuked them?
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

Remind me, when BLM rioted because of centuries of systemic injustice, were you condemning them or were you saying 'actually guys these guys have had a pretty ****ty time maybe they have something valid to say here'

I was condemning them because their riots were based off of a myth (Hands up Don't Shoot), or based off of just directly supporting a criminal with a gun threatening a cop (Wisconsin).

Also, you seem to imply that I am "actually saying these guys have had a pretty ****ty time maybe thye have something valid to say here".

Which is not at all what I am saying.


I can, like others have with German Nazis, point out the circumstances that lead up to motivating a mostly dormant group (White supremacists haven't really done much of anything for quite a while as a large group) to get violent while not actually saying they are valid in their beliefs. Just like people can point out the circumstances that lead to the rise of Nazi-ism without supporting what the Nazis stand for.

How ****ing hard is this **** to understand.

Several of you in this thread are working hard to attribute my comments to support for white supremacy. It isn't going to work no matter how many times you attempt to repeat it.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia


Errr yeah, that's what I said in the first post of mine you replied to. Trump supporters decided they were OK with Bannons involvement in the campaign. That it wasn't enough of a 'big deal' to not vote for Trump. I'm judging them for that.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

Errr yeah, that's literally exactly what I said in the first post of mine you replied to. Trump supporters decided they were OK with Bannons involvement in the campaign.

...which was my point. Thus why I was asking you if you actually use that kind of logic consistently? Or do you only hold Trump and those who voted for him to the ridiculous standard of "If you vote for someone, you must be 'okay' with everything regarding them and their campaign", but anyone else is free to vote for someone without automatically being supportive of everything about them.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

All I am saying is that identity politics and the events of the past couple of years have provided these fools the motivation to engage in violence.
And when a cop tries to stop a criminal, it motivates some to violence. Are you suggesting we not have laws? Cops? Not pursue criminals? You still make no sense with this line of reasoning.
Who stokes that fire?
Right wing media.
Why? Votes and money.
Are you really not aware of this?

Also, it's not a bunch of loons hanging out and hating together. I'd wager a sizeable percentage of southern conservatives fall somewhere on the spectrum from tolerance to outright support. I lived in areas where every other yard had a David Duke sign, the man was elected for god's sake. Acting like it's some fringe groups is absurd. Yes the ones with the balls to protest are, but they are not the real issue. Trump would not be refusing to call them out specifically if it was just this minority fringe group, everyone knows it. There will be more pain as short-sighted white males are told by right wing media that they are losing jobs and rights to "identity politics" as perpetrated by evil liberals. Oh well, such is progress.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

You illustrate exactly what Harry is pointing out.

If the tables were turned, your POV towards right and wrong would turn with it.
If the tables were turned, the cops would have arrested half the mob and probably shot the rest. But, thanks for at least admitting it was an act of White Terror. Now...

Why won't your president condemn white terrorism?
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia


Like I said, I don't think you have to actively support the Trump campaigns racism or sexism to vote for them. But you had to decide that you were ok with it, or at least be indifferent to it. Not sure where we disagree.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia


And I am supposed to feel sorry for them due to their BS victim complexes, I say screw their petty excuses, I do not find them compelling at all.

They demand people empathize with them, but do they empathize with people like Philando Castile, did they say his second amendment rights were violated by the police or did they not care about him?

And guess what, there is a huge difference between oppression and not getting your way all the time, if you are racist and people call you a racist, maybe you should try to stop being a racist, instead of doubling down on it. These people are not being oppressed, they are just mad because they don't get their way the time. Why should I indulge these spoiled children?

You are complaining about some stupid Vogue cover, is there any other petty first world problems that you will say is motivating these people? If you think some Vogue cover is a real problem in the world, then you have no concept of how good you have it compared to many other people in the world.


If that is the case, I'd ask why you were trying to mitigate the Nazis actions since you brought up the fact that the Versailles treaty was part of the motivation behind their formation and actions.

I'm not mitigating the Nazis actions, I am just of the idea of "well they have some legitimate reasons for being hateful racists" can apply to any group, including the original Nazis. Where do you draw the line in terms which racists can which excuses to justify their actions?

I said he condemned all hate.

It wasn't enough for you because you will continue to cling to white supremacists.

People like myself have been around long enough to to see plenty of ugly white & black people.

People like you cling to petty arguments, and have never lived a day in the hood like I have.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

The irony meter is off the scale. I'm watching Virginia governor McAuliffe tell the white nationalists to "go home" while he extols George Washington and Thomas Jefferson as "true patriots." They were slave owners, and likely had views on race similar to those of the white nationalists.

WTF Are you talking about? Nowhere did I say we should not discuss race issues as needed for fear of motivating white supremacists to violence. I made no suggestions towards actions of any kind. Quit contributing your own feelings and emotions to my posts. I simply pointed out a factual observation as to what was motivating them. That was all I did. Quit reading your own desirable meanings into my posts so you have some way to label me as a white supremacist!

If the tables were turned the police would have been ordered to stand down.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

Wrong

He condemned all that hate stands for.

He didn't call it an act of terrorism, he didn't condemn the white supremacists that caused this.

Did he?

Why not?
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia


Jesus ****ing christ.

NOBODY IS ASKING YOU TO FEEL SORRY FOR THEM.
I sure as **** don't.

NOBODY IS ASKING FOR YOU TO INDULGE THEM. Least of all me.



Stop trying to read into **** to create an argument.

In fact... just stop responding to me if you can't read my comments for what they are and instead try to twist my words.

Common sense isn't very ****ing common today.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia


Why can't this president ever condemn or call out the white supremacists by name?

I think you know why.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

So you agree that regardless of the violence it may spark, we should continue to push white nationalists, and the rhetoric that they support, to the fringe? No need to get all worked up, just agree or disagree. I don't recall anyone pondering "why oh why are these white nationalists being so violent!". I think that's pretty ****ing obvious.

Kind of like Trump, you're saying a lot of things, but seemingly trying to dance around the specific issue?
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

Please stop. You are getting more foolish with every post.

Why are you calling someone a fool, RetiredUSN ???

Especially when you're the one who can't defeat his post ?!?!
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia

Please stop. You are getting more foolish with every post.

Listen, how hard would it be for the president to specifically call out the violence of these alt-right racist white supremacists?

He doesn't want to alienate his hardest core followers. You know that's right.
 
Re: Far-right protesters gather at University of Virginia


Dancing around the specific issue?

These specific issue is whether to support "white power"??

Is it really ****ing necessary to state it directly, I thought I made it very clear, multiple ****ing times in this thread alone, that white nationalism is moronic, ignorant, full of hate, and not to be ****ing supported.

Common sense isn't common today I guess.

Too many fools trying to play "GOTCHA" games based on a lack of saying what shouldn't need to be directly said.
