Is he an SPLC plant, an FBI informant or perhaps a real nutjob?

There are multiple possibilities in this situation.

I have no way of knowing how many of the white protesters were white nationalists, Nazis, etc., but, for what it is worth, I do know that this event has been discussed and promoted for weeks on Stormfront. No — I am not one of them. I just read widely.

Also, for what it is worth, I am a northerner with family and cultural ties to the South. I had ancestors and other relatives who fought on both sides during the Civil War. I am against removing the Confederate monuments. I have traveled extensively in the South. I have seen the memorials in the small towns. I just accept them as part of the history of those towns. I am against wiping out history. I am tired of anti-white racism. I am tired of “check your white privilege.” But I am not about to team up with Nazis and Klansmen and skinheads. If there were white folks there who were not of the Stormfront type but just wanted to protest the removal of the statue of General Lee, and other aspects of southern history, then their joining in with this bunch was a mistake.

You cannot ‘force’ people to be inclusive with those they don't want....especially when their very ‘cultures’ are so vastly different. But all of them LIVE in America and should “Identify” as Americans....not these hyphenated jargon's they consistently identity with If you're in America then live like Americans and stop trying to Identify yourself otherwise.

Maybe as recently as 50 years ago we still had something called "American culture" which transcended race, religion, national origin, etc. I understand the push to divide the nation along ethnic and sexual perversion lines is from the far left when they found out the Marxist class struggle approach wouldn't work here.

The MSM is well funded, relentless and have no morals, which is why they lie and use #FakeNews to fool you.

Well THAT American Culture was dealt it’s death blow during the Obama years.

Interesting isn’t it that Obama tweeted today.....raised his ugly head just as the moment was ripe ....and to be sure Michelle probably told him he had to.
