The mother of the man who allegedly plowed into a group of people protesting a white nationalist rally Saturday in Virginia said she knew her son was attending a rally -- but she thought it was a rally for President Trump, not for white nationalists.
In an interview Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio, with The Associated Press, Samantha Bloom said of her son James Alex Fields Jr., "I just knew he was going to a rally. I mean, I try to stay out of his political views. You know, we don't, you know, I don't really get too involved, I moved him out to his own apartment, so we -- I'm watching his cat."
Bloom was informed by The AP reporter that the rally was indeed organized by white nationalists. "I thought it had something to do with Trump. Trump's not a white supremacist," she said.
"He had an African-American friend so ...," she said before her voice trailed off.
In an interview with The Toledo Blade, she said, "I told him to be careful. [And] if they’re going to rally to make sure he’s doing it peacefully.”
Bloom told The AP she didn't even know about the incident until she spoke with the AP reporter. She said she was indeed surprised with the deadly outcome. "Yeah, that he would run his car into a group of people for... I'm really not clear on..."(continued)

THere’s a double standard where only white people can be racists.
I am a nationalist who happens to be white.
And an article about Race, oh boy, just what the msm is hoping to find to use a big ole paint brush
>>>What about race? First it must be established that, when looking at the whole genome, pairs of people of the same race are almost always more genetically similar than pairs of people from different races (2). So would it follow that members of a specific race are more alike in personality and behavior? The answer is yes. In Race, Evolution, and Behavior, psychologist Phillippe Rushton documented significant racial differences brain size, intelligence, sexuality, personality, growth rate, life span, crime, and family stability (3). On all these measurements, Orientals (East Asians, Mongoloids) fall on one end of the spectrum, and Blacks on the other end of the spectrum. Whites fall somewhere in the middle, often close to Orientals. For example, the average IQ for Blacks in The United States is 85 (70 for African Blacks), while the average IQ of Whites is 100, and 106 for the average Oriental. The gap between American and African Blacks, environmental factors aside, is likely due to the fact that American Blacks are, on average, of mixed racial descent. Rather, they have obtained heritable intelligence genes from White racial mixing.<<<

No matter how much truth there may be to the article - THAT’S RACIST - Like I said, big paint brush to paint all conservatives, republicans and straight white males with.
Thanks, sounds about right. I suspect it is also a method of making it sound like an organization which was created by Trump.
Nazi = Hitler
White Nationalist = Trump
A “nationalist” can be any race or creed. A patriot puts his fellow Americanism first. It has nothing to do with race.
Careful...what you don’t like us the “Nazi BS” and violence from these whackos. Me neither! But a little bit of “nationalist” feelings erupt in me when I see a Confederate statue being removed to appease “Black snowflakes.” I’m not going to march with my confederate flag, I’m just going to sit here and do a slow burn ... but how long before the quiet ones like me become fed up with this revision of history by the black snowflakes that cannot get over a period of slavery...THAT THEY HAVE NEVER KNOWN... and celebrate its removal by being able to learn from our rich and diverse” history? Those statues, park names and street names are all part of our history. History is TRUTH...changing history is a LIE.
How DARE you?
If this article is accurate, his father was killed by a drunk driver a couple of months after he was born, his mother is a paraplegic, and some money (probably proceeds from the drunk driving wrongful death case) was left in a trust fund and disbursed to the kid when he turned 18.
Are you truly equating being proud of being white and believing in the United States of America with the others? Seriously?
I believe all men are created equal. So do you (I think). How is being proud of the country you live in counter to that? How is being proud of who you are counter to that?
I have no intention of balkanizing the U.S. I just want to be able to be proud of who I am without the likes of you telling me I should cower at that thought. Why do you?
They "dare" because they have been cowed into fealty to people who hate the U.S.
A car “ Fields” bought from some antitrumper dude, with Ohio tag tracing to the dudes father who lives in Michigan, which somehow was still being used on Fields’ car after it was sold “ years ago”
The vibes of autism spectrum or some social personality disorder are strong with this one
A perfect patsy for the people who incited this
But, We know why.
The purpose was for the AP to link or smear Trump with this ridiculous rally.
The mother may not know much since her son is a adult and living elsewhere .
Then ‘THEY’ need to leave the board. :-)
I’m with you 100 percent. I don’t want those monuments removed or street names changed either, for the reasons you stated. I think it is WRONG to erase our history, regardless of whether that history is good, bad, or indifferent. My feelings on the matter have nothing to do with race, however. I stand up for ideas and principles. I don’t stand up for skin color, and it riles me when I see these cretins talk about “standing up for the white race”, playing right into the liberal media’s narrative about conservatives. They may claim to be conservatives, but they’re kindred spirits with those on the left who dedicate themselves to dividing this country based upon race, class, gender, etc.
There is nothing wrong in being a nationalist. If fact, some of our best President were. However, be careful about the ‘white’ part. That comes from the LEFT. Remember, all you have to do is simply disagree with the left about ANYTHING and first thing they are going to call you is a racist. That is were ‘white nationalist’ is being coined. From the left especially from the enemedia.
See my post 56. I can’t explain it any better than I have there.
Sam...well-said and you helped clarify my position too. Thank you.
Signal that virtue. Right on.
