What exactly do white supremacists want? How can you tell they are white supremacists?

They sure make a poor case for White Supremacy.

Wasn’t a far right rally but a cobbled collection of White Supremacists and Neo-Nazis........

By definition they are socialists and facist not “Alt-Right or Conservative......

Why is it that we always read about “far right” groups but never “far left” groups. The left has had their way for a long time. They have all but eliminated a large segment of our history by removing the Confederate battle flag to the point of making it a “hate crime” to even mention it. Then they started to remove monuments and statues of certain people they dislike because they are “offended”. All the while, people who oppose the politics of “hate” have kept silent. Did the left and other hate groups NOT expect any pushback? Why is a protest by a “white” group not as much a free speech issue as protests from a black group, or a Latino group, or Muslims or gays, lesbians and the sexually confused?

take over the narrative of the fight between the Antifa Left militants and the Alt Right groups to demonize the Alt Right.

I've been watching Fox on and off all afternoon and that is exactly what is happening.

All the blame is being cast on the "White Supremacist Group" with nary a word about why and what they were protesting. While at the same time, it's the Black Nationalist/Communist backed Antifa that has been instigating all the violence by throwing bottles and other debris. I've seen many of the "White Supremacists bloodied by thrown bottles and hit with sticks.......

It’s a double standard. That’s why.

They are white nationalists. As such, they don’t engage in debates about who is “superior.” They just want the right to stick with their own. And they want whites to have equal rights.

Correct. The battle is between advocates for Western Civilization and those who prefer the absolute rule of the elites.

That is a good question.

The Unite the Right group did have a permit, which was enforced by a federal judge.

I have not read of any other permits being obtained by the counter protestors.

I am quite sure there will lawsuits to follow.

Fire City Council!

The alt-right is whatever the alt-left defines it as. Every time I see the term alt-right, I know an alt-left person is writing it and redefining the word, yet again.

You mean the racist Julie Bidwell, who changed her last name to Banderas to take advantage of minority hiring, Shes as liberal as the day is long and before the day is done she’ll join with the CNN communist Trump haters to blame the riot (orchestrated by Soros) on President Trump. If this were BLM the media would be saying they had a right to protest,

I stand on principle, not on people.

Principle transcends either side in this and yes, there are sometimes people you wind up supporting because they have principle on their side, on that occasion.

The government will not allow European-Americans to celebrate their history and culture. Agent provocateurs and government plants will do anything, including incitement to violence, to discredit the peaceful assembly of the people who built and died for this Republic.

We have a whole month devoted to the celebration of Negro identity. We have a national holiday honoring Martin King, a communist sympathizer. Networks and cable channels will remind us all February long who invented peanut butter. But heaven help us if the White folks celebrate a hero of their own. That's racis'!
