I think one issue is we whites imagine the endgame of anti-racism as harmonious relationships rather than equal power to shape society.

FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE: President Trump 'seriously considering' a pardon for ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio

@MikeHolden42
Replying to @foxandfriends and @realDonaldTrump
He's a fascist, so not unusual.

And trump has retweeted Holden's reply

I'm not seeing a re-tweet of that reply, Pain. (Probably just me though. )

So close to civil unrest now in the States.

Trump RT'd this pic showing a CNN journalist hit by a train days after a white nationalist ran his car into activists, killed Heather Heyer.

[it's now deleted]

Trump deleted it 30 mins later Cozie.

He's unretweeted it then cozie because it was definitely there!

Whoops, ignore the brackets!

All tax is theft

As for my view of the weekends events. It's sad that neo nazi groups exist in a country where many died fighting socialism in the Second World War. However they do have the right of free speech

Wow Trump's retweets are already making the headlines!

Fighting socialism in ww2?
That is not true.

7Days

The National Socialist German Workers' Party commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Pary

Fighting Socialism in WW2 certainly isn't true.

The founder of the German Workers Party which preceeded the Nazi party suggested including the word "Socalism" in the name (National Socialist Party) to attract voters who were currently voting communist or social democrat.

In Socialism, the profits of a country are shared with the people. In National Socialism they are shared by business owners. They are hugely different.

What was fought in WW2 was fascism. And you need to fight it again now.

As to freedom of speech - whilst the 1st Amendment does guarantee it, it is not without restrictions. Incitement to violence is one of those restrictions, as are "fighting words", designed to cause a breach of the peace, and words that are intended to cause severe emotional distress the recipient. In addition, whilst there are legal restrictions to freedom of speech there are also moral ones and consequences.

Out of interest Kursk - do you believe that North Korea is a democracy because it's ruled by the North Korean Democratic Party?

Been a lurker but popping up to say yes absolutely people should be fired from their jobs if they are out publicly as Nazis.
These are private companies not charities, why should they employ anyone who brings their reputation into disrepute?

Here's a distressing first hand account of what happened in Charlottesville

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/aug/15/charlottesville-car-attack-eyewitnesses-virginia-heather-heyer?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I have seen the full video

It is VERY distressing so please don't watch it if you are not prepared for that. But Heather wasn't killed she was murdered. By a terrorist. And Trump backs them.

The last post on Heather's FB page was "If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention"

twitter.com/severin_jahn/status/896431893394206720 - VERY horrible video showing the crash - not graphic but distressing.

As for my view of the weekends events. It's sad that neo nazi groups exist in a country where many died fighting socialism in the Second World War

They died fighting Fascism (the same Fascism that is returning now to the US) not Socialism.

V good article about Trump and the rise online of white supremacy

www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/11/trump-white-nationalists-hate-racism-power/

A CNN piece. Would a public that doesn't approve of Trump follow him into war?

Public approval and war

Wholeheartedly agree max. I'd avoid any company/business that had an employee who was openly fascist/racist & was happy to put their face/name to a white supremacist match. It's basic economics for their employers.

I predict the next march will be full of covered faces. These thick fuckwits deserve every consequence their loathsome beliefs attract, especially when they are so open/proud to stand for fascism. Makes me sick tbh.

Although, actually, I think they're now listening to the 'generals' and not to 45.

lessworriedaboutthecat Those statues were not put up by the Confederates (Robert E Lee himself refused to wear or allow others to wear the uniform after their defeat and said the Confederate Battle Flag should never be flown again). They were put up during the height of the Civil Rights movement to mark "White areas" and intimidate people (much like the resurgence of flying that flag and calling praising Confederacy "heritage").

Them being there is ahistorical and part of decades old campaign of hate. Pulling them down corrects the historical myth that any of the main Confederate leaders tried to fight on or wanted to remembered for that afterwards.
