Uncomfortable compromises are how we learn to live with each other. It means that there can be memorials of Robert E. Lee and streets named after Malcolm X. Tolerating people whose views we dont like is one of the best ways to marginalize domestic extremists. When one set of extremists is empowered to wipe out the other, we end up with a civil war. Just ask Edmund Ruffin and John Brown.

IMO, this is the missing link to our previously civil society.
Condemm ALL hate groups.
Because overt racism has been so thoroughly removed from all of our public institutions, the race pimps could not accept that the civil rights movement was over. They didn't kill it, it had already died a death of natural causes, having lived a good life full of accomplishment.
But there's money and power in being angry about manufactured victimhood. And that's what the race pimps can't let go of.
One of the most poignant observations I’ve ever heard on the subject came from the late poet Maya Angelou.
To paraphrase, “Oppressed people do not yearn for their freedom, they yearn to feel their boot heel pressed against the throat of the oppressor.”
None of these groups ever declare victory when the original injustice ends. They then always go for their pound of flesh in revenge.
The social contract, the melting pot, values that tie the country - all have been broken or eroded away. The US is becoming like Israel and the Palestinians. There will be no peace until or unless one is victorious. Otherwise, there will be endless turmoil. That turmoil is promoted by many on the Left and will be used to further weaken the US and subjugate any who oppose them.
Greenfield - always one of the best.
That’d be a black supremacist, not nationalist.
They want more rights than others, namely, the right to commit crimes w/o prosecution.
The prob they have w/Ferguson is the cop had no “right” to ask the guy out of the street, nor defend himself when attacked.
They want supreme rights, not equal ones.
Another key quote.
Democrats are the neo-Nazi.
If I put a bumper sticker on my car that says “Proud to be Irish” does that make me a racist? Does that mean I hate all other europeans?
Note, the english and irish historically characterized themselves as different races.
Good article except it makes the same mistake that pride and nationalism = hate and supremacy.
We cannot allow the left to dictate who has freedom of speech, and who doesn’t.
bkmk
Lefties LOVE neo-Nazis and white supremacists. Why? Because it gives them something to point to and an excuse for their behavior.
If there were 3 neo-Nazis (or homeless people, or hungry children, or drunk drivers, or rape victims, .... ) in the entire country, leftists would be sad. They need to make it a big crisis in order to fuel their self-righteous indignation and give them a foothold for controlling everyone’s behavior with their oppressive laws and regulations.
I have been reading on a number of postings on this site and some complained that President Trump did not call out AntiFA and BLM. Well ALL THE RACIST GROUPS that go from A to Z who went dowm to Virginia this past weekend were soundly condemned without naming all of them.
Plus that face says my time is precious and I refuse to into the radical left and Dems hands.
Thank-you Mr.Greenfield.
