Why would Donald Trump see White Nationalism as a threat?
 
Hard for a man who partially relies on their votes to consider or admit they're a threat.

Islamaphobia has been a way for White Nationalists/Supremacists to tap back into the mainstream after a long vacation from it.

Trump went out of his way to appeal to these people, not dog whistling, but megaphoning.

Outcry as Donald Trump calls for US Muslim ban - BBC News

Trump retweeted anti-Muslim propaganda videos from a British hate group - Vox

Not subtle in the least.

He appeals to these people and while he's not ultimately responsible for things like Christchurch or Quebec City... He absolutely appeals to people who are or those who sympathize with people who commit such acts and he wants to appeal to them and he made absolutely no secret about it.

Trump is coming out with a designer line of Tiki-torches made in China.

The white man's greed runs a world in need.
 
Of course when he is Impeached, indicated or loses the election he is counting on them as one of his factions to take up arms and declare him the king of the world.

He is as we say up North East. "Quite the boy".

From what I understand many WS charged are done under acts aside from terrorism. Not that they were not involved in probable terror attacks, DA says, got them firm on this, severe sentence in jail
Resources are tight, and they do not drill down far enough nor assign appropriate resources. That takes money, funds directed by various agencies.

And that comes from Washington

ISIS and foreign terror, home grown terror recruits charges/convictions gets more dollars and excellent press.

Meanwhile WS is not given the attention as the top internal US threat for domestic terrorism.

The WS threat has been known for years, stats show the threat is there.

And yes it will come back to bite.

Trump sees it as a great gift, a tool that he plans to use to get himself reelected: disruption at the Democrat convention, harassment at nominee campaign rallies. I can see it like a vision.

Traditional Racism in decline


In the US it began as slavery, 3/5ths value, and evolved into non traditional racism. Is that what your point is?

Please define non traditional racism?

Racism in general is in decline. The threat from white nationalists is growing.

Slavery was in America 150 Years before the US. The US did not create slavery it inherited it.

By todays standards The Founding Fathers would have been terrible racists. By the standards of their own time they were the least racist and most anti-slave men on earth. Even slave owners like Washington and Jefferson were appalled by it, but they had laws forbidding them from freeing their slaves.

In 1776 Lithuania was the only country that had a 100% abolition of slavery. The Founding Fathers were some of the only people on earth who were even debating the subject. Most of Europe ended slavery before us because they had no industries that needed it and they had Surfs to work the land, Surfs were not Slaves in name only.

The 3/5ths clause was an anti-slave policy. The Pro-Slave Democrats wanted to use the full Slave population count to increase their representation in Congress. Anti-Slave Republicans came up with the 3/5ths compromise.

Traditional racism is one race hating another. Racial Identity Politics is exploiting race hatred from the opposite direction. The political goals of each are exactly the same.

Aside from original slavery every racists policy in all US History came from Democrats.

Over the last 100 years since Woodrow Wilson all racist policies came from Left Wing Democrats.

About 70 years ago The Democrat party realized that Traditional Racism was no longer a winning political strategy. So, they started exploiting racism from the exact opposite direction. Replacing Traditional Racism with Racial Identity Politics and Replacing the KKK (a Democrat invention) with Race bating poverty pimps like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson.

In many ways Racial Identity Politics has hurt and divided America a lot more than Traditional Racism.

No, not really White Nationalist are the one and only group of people on earth who's support is considered a negative.

Racial Identity Politics is just another form of Racism. Leftist are the only ones practicing it. One of its key tactics is to call anyone they disagree with a RACIST.

As a Leftist you need their to be the appearance of a White Nationalist threat. But the fact is: as a race bater you are just as Nasty a Racist as they are.

So the people who promoted lynching, opposed civil rights laws killed MLK and the three youths in Mississippi were left wing? Who knew?

A lot of trump's base is composed of angry white men, many who openly embrace White Nationalism and White privilege...trump must be careful not to offend them...His response will be muted and pathetic...........As always

The entire philosophy of MLK was "Judge people by the content of their character not the color of their skin."

The Left sees nothing but skin color, they are more obsessed with it than any Klansmen who ever lived.

As LBJ said "I'll have those N***ers voting Democrat for the next 200 years." That is why Leftist Democrats jumped on the Civil Right Band Wagon.

Todays Left are still the same nasty racists they have always been.
