‘Racism is Evil’ — Donald Trump Condemns KKK, Neo-Nazis, and White Supremacists
Breitbart News ^ | 08/14/2017 | Charlie Spiering

President Donald Trump denounced hate groups at the White House on Monday, responding to critics of his response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virgina surrounding an alt-right rally.

“Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans,” Trump said.

The president made his remarks in the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House after meeting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the FBI Director Chris Wray.

Trump specifically named Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old woman killed during the protests after a reported Nazi sympathizer drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters.

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence,” he said.

I am off the Trump train.

Sounds like the mutants who staged Saturday's theatrics in Virginia got exactly what they wanted out of you.

BLM and Antifa didn’t kill anyone, the guy who idolizes Hitler did. Basically this is what happens when the Republicans inherit voters from banished Democratic identity politics groups. The Republican is expected to play the identity politics game when all he wants to do is to bring everyone together and pointed in a productive direction.

I understand that it was staged. I haven't changed. I just observe and listen and occasionally comment. I even know what the term “NAZI” stands for. National Socialists Workers Party in German. National Socialism differs from Communism only in minor details. And both Socialism and Communism have more in common that they have differences. In both the State is all powerful and controls every aspect of one’s life. In National Socialists Germany one could, with the permission of the State, own property and businesses. In the Soviet system, everything belonged to the “people” in reality the Government. Both systems were Left of center.

Good statement, third one on the topic, all consistent and very clear. Hate, bigotry, and violence are wrong and not to be tolerated.

well, was it in any way different than the one Mike Pence made yesterday that had this forum in an uproar earlier today...?

All this negativity will not help. He did not mention the republican elected official in PA that was shot and then had a bullet fired into his brain while he was on the ground by a crazy radical democRAT trump hater. This story should be on all the conservative media,and it is not. I thought the rats and slimy media and GOPE were the only trump Hating nit pickers,this is like gang rapists in action.

Sorry I missed the mention! The left demands names so do I.


I prefer he not mention the names. By saying the “racists” there, and not mentioning groups, he begs some fun questions. And if they ask him for names, he can just say “look at the actions of anyone there and determine for yourself who are the racists. I don’t have to do your thinging for you.”

Racism is evil and so is denying a racial group any semblance of a racial identity. In doing so you are actually stirring racist feelings. So the Left is at least partly, if not wholly responsible for the Neo-Nazi movement.

The Left is implying when it tells whites that you can’t have a racial identity or pride in your race, that whites are genetically flawed to be genocidal maniacs. Denying one’s genetics and having any pride in it is a dangerous emotional pressure cooker because it leads to oppression by other racial groups that are allowed to celebrate their race and be more cohesive.

The acceptance and encouragement of being proud of once racial inheritance actually decreases racism as long as it is assumed that all races are equal in their potential.

Trump is making a big mistake with Luther Strange. He’s never met him but supports him because McConnell wants him to. Strange is a crook. Both Moore or Brooks are a 1000 times better. They are both real conservatives. You’re right about Bannon. He’ll be fired soon an with that Trump will never be reelected, .

He (Sessions) may also put out or call for the arrest of Soros as well.

I’m sure the media will now praise Trump after vilifying him for about 24 months now.

Where do we go from here?

Anybody seriously think the left will be satisfied? Whites at some need to stop backing up or just acquiesce the nation to the left which seems to be what is happening.

There’s an investigation. Let’s not have a backlash saying President Trump was against us. Be wise. Let it ride.
