Trump lit the torches of white supremacy in Charlottesville. We must extinguish them.

President Trump lit every one of those torches in Charlottesville.

Yes, the white supremacists have always been with us. A parade of racist bigots is no surprise to anyone familiar with our history, especially those who have been the target of hatred and violence for centuries.

But when the mob of white men marched in Charlottesville carrying flaming torches Friday night shouting “Heil Trump” as the curtain-raiser for a day of violent clashes with counter-protesters that left three people dead, they showed the world that America is once again playing with fire.

And Trump was the one with the match.

Yes, there are many sides in the culture war that the racists keep trying to hitch their flaming wagon to.

But this abomination that happened in Charlottesville over the weekend is not up for debate. It’s not a cultural take or a political platform. Racism, bigotry and terrorism in the name of white nationalism isn’t a “side.” It’s a poison.

And doing anything other than calling it what it is, defining it and snuffing it out is simply unAmerican.

But, I’ve noticed particularly ABC and your other Liberal ilk that call themselves journalists never say a negative word about BLM or Antifa or McAuliffe and the Mayor. ........................................... Yeah! I noticed the Asian Reporter and that Greek guy who worked for the Clintons, claiming Trump was late with a response. Of course Democrat Presidential candidate Mc Auliffe was the first. It was his State, they issued the permit for the Kook Kluck Klan and Nutsies to protest. This heil Trump BS, how much were they paid to shout that out for the cameras? This is going to be a continuous street show for the remainder of Trumps term. The focus will be on the shows not the economy.

Not everything that is not Paul Ryan is Soros.

I do not know the funding or origin of all the groups but National Policy Institute (Richard Spencer) is funded by y William Regnery II. Michael Hill is League of the South (likely not a Soros operation).

Some of the others (e.g., Identity Europa, Traditionalist Worker Party) are newer and could, I suppose, be Soros/false flag, but I doubt it.

This (work/family safe) video probably explains it better than Soros conspiracy theories:

“White nationalists are alt-left, not alt-right. If you look closely at that crowd, there were no ‘CNN is ISIS’ signs, or MAGA hats, or pepe banners. This was Dem on Dem violence, neo-nazis vs. “antifa”.

One has to consider the notion of a ‘plot’ to destabilize the country and remove President Trump from office involving the Uniparties, big corporations with the “Left” and “Right” protest groups being paid off pawns.

Scaramucci is offering his opinion that there are people out there who want Donald Trump out.

Then MLK lit the torches that caused the Watts riots.

I certainly don’t agree with the KKK. But I do believe they have the right to speak. And they have the right to defend themselves.

This is why they keep losing elections outside of their sanctuary safe places. Nobody is buying this bullcrap. We all know who started this violence and who has been started it for a few years now. These leftist thugs and their financial backer politicians of BOTH parties started this.

The torch for white supremacy was lit by the democratic south in early America. What we have today are a new generation of whites fighting for survival in a post Obama, anything goes unless you are white country.

"Trump lit the torches of white supremacy in Charlottesville."

That's a lie and gawd-damned LIE! Those neo-nazi pricks tried to connect their hate to Trump just because he is a white president. While the racists will complain he didn't mention Duke by name, he also didn't mentioned the race baiters by name, like Sharpton, Jackson, et all. Unlike Obambi who encouraged racial division, Trump explicitly said we should all come together as Americans.

Frig you Washington Compost. There words are going to backlash on you like all your racist rhetoric. Watch.

Political correctness is delusional obfuscation. Face it. Race relations are and never were good anywhere. Blacks despite all the rhetoric, posturing and actual racism wish to live among whites because they know their lives will be better. Witness modern migrations out of Africa. Blacks will milk white guilt for all its worth. Whites even the most flamboyant liberals wish to live among themselves, self segregate and mostly avoid blacks. They fear violence, disorder and do not recognize an inherent value in blacks. Sorry but that is the reality worldwide. The situation has not changed and will only worsen in the future.

I wish the MSM would show 1/10 the concern about Islamic Supremacists (a real problem) as they do about the White variety (a bunch of losers).

Yes it is, much like the black racism promoted ever day by BLM and their leaders.

I watched a lot of msm yesterday, flipping back and forth between the alphabet channels to see how this was being reported.

All of the interviewees were leftists, I didn’t see one “White Supremacist” given a mike and they were 100% blamed for the violence, even though I know someone who was there and he said bottles of urine, feces and other objects were being thrown at the marchers, who were, indeed peaceful. The violence was incited by the antifas.

Media won’t report the truth but then we here all know that.

“is not up for debate.”

That’s what you’d like, isn’t it, Tramp? Only you have rights in your sick little world. “Racism” to you is white people fighting back for our heritage, our race, our employment, our promotions, our admissions. You sick little bastards pander to the lowest element (see e.g. Ferguson), without a word of condemnation over fake charges against law enforcement, nor do you condemn the fake “anti fascists” who would deny Americans their basic liberties and who instigate violence against freedom loving people.

Like clockwork, here you haters are, with your spoonfed propaganda pieces, pretending to be fair and just and non racist, when you go home at night to your white little enclaves. People like you wouldn’t dare mix with the minorities or proletariat
