Conservative Student Transfers out of BU because of Death Threats
Fox News ^ | 8/18/17 | Holly McKay

Posted on 08/18/2017 11:02:16 AM PDT by ek_hornbeck

Nicholas Fuentes, an 18-year-old student who attended the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., this past weekend, said that he's received death threats for months over his conservative viewpoints -- enough for him to decide it's time to leave Boston University.

Fuentes said he made the decision to abandon his Political Science degree a month ago after being constantly threatened over his conservative views. He said no longer felt safe on campus, and will not return for the fall semester.

He’s not a white supremacist. Just tired of having to apologize for being white.

It is time for many of us conservatives to realize that these media attacks on President Trump are really attacks on us. President Trump just happens to be an easy target. As we see President Trump standing up to these bullies, we CANNOT stand by and do nothing.

It bothers me that even among conservatives, we let the American (!!!) Nazis co-opt the defense of our Southern/American heritage.

It is right to oppose the remove of General’s Lee statue ANYWHERE. He is part of the history of this country, a very important part, and though he fought for a cause some say was unjust, he was always an honorable person.

How can we stand up for what is right, if we must avoid all appearances with White Supremacists and Nazis, who also dare show up at these events?

If the Left PAID the supremacists and Nazis to be there, they couldn’t have done a better job with making us impotent.

Not everyone who showed up in Charlottesville was a Nazi. One would think Freepers would understand that.

The picture the media keeps using is of one person with a Nazi flag, there were more one thousand there who didn’t have Nazi flags,” Fuentes said. “The vast majority of people there were regular, decent people. I didn’t meet a single violent person. Our side is just preservationist.”

You’re absolutely right. It’s us they hate. Trump is just a convenient target.

And then who is going to want to hire an avowed White Supremacist?

I could be wrong, but I don't see any quote in the article where Mr. Fuentes "avows" himself to be a "white supremacist."

So where are you getting this?

There is a quote where Mr. Fuentes says he is "opposed to mass immigration and multiculturalism." That's a pretty common-sense conservative view, and doesn't imply any kind of supremacism.

I hope you're not adopting the techniques of the Leftist MSM ... by equating a person who opposes uncontrolled immigration and multiculti-indoctrination, with a Nazi?

Meanwhile, students can attend BlackLivesMatter rallies where they openly express hatred towards whites and threaten to kill police officers, or La Raza rallies where they demand the expansion of "Gueros" from the US Southwest, and never have to worry about getting thrown out of school or denied employment. In fact, participating in these groups probably helps boost their status.

Since you share the PC Left's view of things, I doubt that you'd even recognize this hypocrisy for what it is.

"Still, despite the intensity of the backlash he's received, he has absolutely “no regrets” about taking part in the controversial white-nationalist movement."

If you want to explain the difference between White Nationalism and White Supremacy, have at it.

He is a "White Supremacist"? Really? Can you provide a link where he states whites are superior to any other race?

Or, was he saying that the way blacks have pride in being black, and hispanics have pride in being hispanic, that whites should have pride in being white and have pride in their European heritage?

Is that what makes him a "white supremacist"?

If that is a bad thing, would you also condemn blacks and hispanics as "Black Supremacists and Hispanic Supremacists"?

I am curious to see how and why you apply that label to him. Because he went to a rally attended by many other non-liberal people who are not "white supremacists"? Is that why?

Where did he say he was a “White Nationalist”? And in what context?

If you can, provide a link. Not saying he did or didn’t say he was a “White nationalist” but provide the full text, please, so we can better judge the context of his rhetoric.

They are actors pretending to be Nazis. It's the old Alinsky trick.

Well, you can in the state, but if you ever have to use deadly force to protect yourself, you better have all your “i”s dotted and “t”s crossed.

And even then. In MA, you have to take a good course (I recommend GOAL) and take it to heart. And hope you never have to use it.
