I don’t like the term white nationalists. They’re people who think removing the statue was the wrong thing to do....and I agree. That sure as hell doesn’t make me some kind of nationalist.

“I don’t like the term white nationalists.”

Just shown on TV, a newsman on the scene said that as the car plowed into the crowd and then backed up, white nationalists were motioning where/how the car should go to escape the authorities. Then a FOX spokesman said...okay....this has not been confirmed.

Then WHY even report it?

My impression is that the statue was more an excuse for gathering. The people at UVA were clearly Nazis.

So, while I think the whole statue removal is worse than stupid, this wasn't where I was going to say so. A great many demonstrators were indeed racists intending to make a racist statement.

Get used to the fact that anytime whites get sick of the liberals and blacks trying to destroy our southern heritage we will be branded racist and white supremists.

The problem is that they choose the most p*ss-poor optics possible.

There were a million better ways of making their case than what they did, ANTIFA of not.

Now do they think anyone is going to openly be sympathetic to keep it?

[Man from Oz]

I totally agree w you. This is media characterizing people.

I don't think it's the "Nationalists" part that upsets the pinko commie leftest..... It's the white part... And they just hate it when white people fight back...

I strongly agree with you that removing the statue of Lee, or any other Southern leader, is a great wrong. But I live not far from that area, and I know people who were at that rally. There is one I've known for about twenty years. He was never a racist in the past, but now in reaction to all the anti-white, anti-Southern venom of the Obama years, he is hanging out with such people. He posted some of the rantings of the people he was with. There is no doubt they're anti-Semites and proto-Nazis; they even refer to each other by Germanic terms.

It's a sad thing, but the appearance of real white supremacists, no matter who is funding them, has forced the good guys to associate with unwanted wretches and has set the cause of Southern heritage (and national understanding) back many, many years.
