2nd Unite the Right Rallies Slated for Charlottesville and DC

[armycowboy]

I don’t agree with destroying statues. Simply move them to museums.

History still exists.

There is no need to celebrate and glorify traitors to this country who fought to protect the institution of chattel slavery.

Yeah…let’s tear down statues.

I have said just a few posts ago.

The statues are a local issue.

If they want to keep them up or take them down… either is fine by me.

What Statues Canada has does not concern me one bit.

Dude, its really sad that you wont denounce these neo-nazis and racists.

When the rally is over, we’ll see who attended and make a judgement call. I’d rather let the evidence shape my opinion than lib rhetoric that attempts to label those they don’t like as…racists and Nazi for all of their sheeple and then attempt to shame those who don’t fall in line. it’s weak my friend and that’s…“sad”.

Unite the Right 2, is being put on by the same White Supremacist who did the first. These are white supremacist rallies.

What to know about the violent Charlottesville protests and anniversary rallies - ABC News

As we all know, a group called “Unite the Right” rallied in Charlottesville, sparking counter-protests, sadly a death to a counter-protester, and a controversial statement by Trump.

This coming weekend, more neo-Nazis, more racists, more embarrassment will be on display as these fools exercise their 1st Amendment rights. In preparation, the Governor of Virginia has already declared a State of Emergency.

My hope is that these racists protest their little blackened hearts out, there is no violence, and they can go back home.

I wonder if Trump will find it in his heart to condemn these racists or will he once again declare that there are good people on both sides.

He was not referring to the racists when he said that. There were many who simply were honoring their heritage.
And dont post a deceptive response implying that “heritage” meant slavery. Even your most deceptive sources that attempt to rewrite history to favor the view that all white people are evil will tell you that the majority of southerners did not own slaves.

Deceptive posts are like poison here.

I have responded to that line of reasoning before. This is how it goes.

Say you have no idea that the “Unite the Right” rally was organized by White Supremacists to advance the cause of White Supremacy.

I will give someone that level of ignorance.

Say they don’t have any communication devices to the outside world like a smart phone, radio, Television, internet… and they missed the “Jews will not Replace Us” Tiki torch rally the night before.

Sure… I will give some one that.

The second though that someone who shows up in that ignorance of the events leading up to the rally and sees people breaking out the Swastikas and other symbols of White Power and that person doesn’t turn around right there… then they are fine with marching in support of racist ■■■■■■■■■

There really is no excuse.

That’s not what these guys are.

Some of them are now-NAZIs, the rest are Neo-Confederates.

There were over 170,000 free blacks who fought to free their enslaved brethren.

Why do we always forget that by the end of the war 10% of the Union army consisted of black units?

How many innocent protesters will the “very good” white supremacists manage to kill this time?

How many innocent protestors will be labeled racist and Nazis?

None…

@Smyrna

Yep but don’t take shields, mace, pepper spray, bike locks, clubs and covered faces to a counter protest.

I wish someone would tell this to Trump supporters:

will tell you that the majority of southerners did not own slaves.

Which is irrelevant, as they were still fighting for the right to own slaves.

…except those who weren’t.

If you were fighting for the confederacy, then by default, you were fighting for the right to own slaves. There are no two ways around that.

You are mistaken. You pretend that you know the mind of the regular soldier. If he lived in the south, he fought for his home whether he supported slavery or not. He just as likely thought “we will fight, win, and push to abolish slavery through lawful means”.

Dude.

Rewriting history isn’t going to work.

What you contend is such in the realm of super stupid that you have found a new unexplored corner of it.
