My fellow white Americans.
These are images from Charlottesville, Virginia last night.
…………………
These are people who chanted “Jew will not replace us.”
These are people who yelled “The heat here is nothing compared to what you’re going to get in the ovens.”
These are people who didn’t even bother to wear hoods.
What does it say that in 2017, I’m struck by the fact that the Ku
Klux Klan members at least shielded their faces so that no one could identify them? That the same type of societal pressure apparently no longer exists today? That these people feel comfortable espousing the rhetoric of racist, genocidal maniacs in a public space that was widely photographed and broadcast?
My anger is bigger than my ability to write, but I’m going to try to say this as succinctly as I can.
White nationalism is morally indefensible. This is not a point that is up for discussion.
If you are willing to give these people the benefit of the doubt, you
are complicit in the rhetoric of racists and bigots. Playing “devil’s
advocate” is unacceptable.
I am not willing to listen to one more interview or read one more article about the “economic anxiety” of the American racist.
If you disagree with the central premise that white nationalism is
evil and morally wrong, then I have no words for you. May God have mercy
on your soul.
If you can identify that this is evil and wrong, ask yourself why
these men (and more than a few women) are angry. Why? What has provoked
these people to buy a bunch of Wal-Mart tiki torches and scream Nazi
slogans at a Confederate statue?
Imagine for just one second that these protestors were black

Those Va. Police Really Fucked The Dog in Charlottesville, Eh?
Panama Jackson
Today 1:15pm
If you’re like me, you’ve been glued to the television for much of this
morning watching the events unfold in Charlottesville, Va., as white
nationalists descended into the city for a “Unite the Right” rally in
protest of an earlier city council decision to remove a statue of
Confederate general Robert E. Lee.
If you’re like me, you’ve watched protestors on both sides engage in
fights, pepper spray on one another, throw shit, break shit, punch each other, erupt into a melee and basically engage in any manner of what can best be called societal anarchy.
If you’re like me, you’ve ALSO noticed just how ABSENT the fucking police have been during the entire shit. As a black man, you almost never hear me ask the following question, but: where the fuck were the police? I’ve been watching for HOURS and in the vast majority of footage broadcast nationwide you ain’t seen nan’ police officer breaking up shit, de-escalating shit or arresting people. It’s all been reminiscent of what happens after some big state school loses a game in any college town where white people burn shit to the ground and some random dude goes to jail for jay-walking.

There’s Nothing ‘Fringe’ About These White People
Damon Young
Today 4:41pm
The comforts in considering the white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va., to be fringe are obvious. For white people, speaking of them and their views as if they’re unique and anomalous allows them (the “good” white people) to distinguish themselves from these racists, while also minimizing their ubiquity and influence. If they’re fringe—if they only exist in the crevices and butt cracks of the country—the good white people can continue to believe they’ve done enough, and they can eat their quiche with peace of mind.
And, for those of us (and “us” could be Black people, Latinos, Muslims, Jews, homosexuals and anyone else the nationalists believe are oppressing them and wish to rid America of) who still believe in the fantasy of the fringe alt-right, the comfort exists in convincing ourselves that there just aren’t that many of them. Because if they’re not fringe, if they’re actually everywhere, then … fuck.
Unfortunately, “then … fuck” is the reality. The men and women who marched last night, chanting and hashtagging #unitetheright, and the men and women in Charlottesville today, are not fringe. They are not unique. Perhaps they exist in the crevices and butt cracks, but they’re in the coffeeshops and boardrooms too. They are your neighbors. Our neighbors. My neighbors. They’re schoolteachers and Little League baseball coaches; bartenders and accountants; architects and marketing directors; registered nurses and police officers. They wait on your tables, they answer the phones when you call tech support, they fly your planes when you travel to Phoenix, they deliver your UPS packages and leave notes when you’re not there and they perform surgeries on your broken limbs. And for the white people who believe they’ve done enough, who believe their hands are washed, they’re at your kitchen tables and happy hours and bbqs and weddings. They’re in your families. They’re on your couches. They’re on your T-Mobile family plans. They’re in your beds.

The thing is these white men who are waving flags are the very ones who were given the idea that they were always the privileged ones to the point of them not going to college to further their education and get jobs/technical skills to keep up with a global and economic society.
The politicians use their ignorance to feed them fear of BLACK, BROWN, & YELLOW folk are the reason for ALL their FAILURES.

EXACTLY pay attention to what this POS doe NOT say.
And between that NRA video from a short while ago…and the spewing of vile folks like Jeanine Pirro…this is just a warm-up for things to come…
And somehow folks are still expecting more of a petty, vile, Putin-installed treasonous buffoon whose hateful rhetoric and alt-right advisors have incited and encouraged this..
Even as he tries to maintain the support of the racists he’s long cultivated…who he hopes he can activate if and when Mueller finally and definitively has him hemmed in..
It’s like the twilight zone on steroids when you hear Ben Shapiro on CNN again and again refer to ‘those white supremacists’ as if he and the treasonous buffoon he speaks on behalf of, aren’t in fact white supremacists themselves…

And shame on folks who turn a blind eye or keep allowing themselves to be swayed or to fall prey to the continued sociopathic calculation and manipulation of the racist buffoon and his kkklan flamily, in their desperate bid to be normalized and legitimized…even looking to exploit despicable deadly racist situations they have directly inspired…to try for reboot to show ‘gravitas’…or for his complicit wife to be propelled into the American conversation as somehow a ‘better and more sympathetic’ voice…
Only fools will fall for the okey-doke..
As long as Bannon, Gorka, Stephen Miller …heck, the buffoon they all work hard at spoon-feeding talking points and propping up to cheers from fellow white supremacists…As long as these vile racists remain in the People’s House, words no matter how crafted, are entirely meaningless..
