A Republican congressman who represents the Charlotte area said Thursday that people are protesting in the city because they “hate white people.”

U.S. Rep. Robert Pittenger, whose district includes parts of Charlotte and its suburbs, was asked by an interviewer for Britain’s “BBC Newsnight” what grievance the protesters have.

In the video posted online Thursday, Pittenger responded: “The grievance in their mind is — the animus, the anger — they hate white people because white people are successful and they're not.” He also complained that the government has spent too much on welfare programs that ultimately hold people back.

All of the above and more, Go to the BLM web site, and read about their values, they reject the “white nuclear family”. Why is that you ask? So they can claim doing every other hoe is a normative life style.

They hate whites, law and order, and behaving in a civilized manner.

No one is keeping them here. There are dozens of planes every day back to Africa.

Yes. Democrats are pushing a get whitey platform. They are the true home of racism. It’s all about white genocide and if I was in a position of power I would not let them get away with this. They hate white people because of slavery that every race is guilty of.

I just read an article on a Trump coordinator resigning for remarks she made about racism and I actually agreed with what she said and I understood what she was trying to say.

Now I just read the her replacement is a black woman she is a republican but she had been bashing Trump from the beginning saying the usual, bigot, racist you name it. Now she is saying he is great and it is an honor to try to get him elected. WTH the whole world is going insane.

Never apologize for telling the truth. Just make sure that you are accurate and concise in how you tell it.

I do not understand this concept of apologizing for the truth.
