Are we misinformed of the economic and political disenfranchisement that this way of thinking has brought to blacks and other minorities in America-- the effects of the 100 plus years of INTENTIONAL political and ECONOMIC disenfranchisement we are still feeling today?

By stating, "I condemn the violence on all sides" he did indeed paint everyone there with the broadest brush possible to ensure that he isn't perceived as specifically criticizing the hatred of the white nationalists that KILLED an innocent American.

That is where I and just about every other rational person has a YUUUGE problem with his initial response.

Because of his first response and because of his history of not plainly calling these hateful idiots out without outside pressure, his 2nd statement just doesn't seem sincere.

Because of his third and ongoing responses to Charlottesville, his 2nd statement really doesn't seem sincere as he goes back to re-stating and defending his first statement-- that attempts to brush all of the people there with the broadest of brushes.

Say you respond with, "he was only painting the hateful, violent people there on both sides with the broadest of brushes..." Only one side resorted to killing-- and even that cowardly act was done as the protest was ending and people were retreating from the protest site.

It would be one thing if KILLING was never the M.O. of white supremacists. It would be another thing if the white supremacist organizations disavowed the violence that led to the death of an innocent American. However, neither one of these things happened. In fact, they laughed and mocked her and celebrated her death!

But our totus wants to be careful to not offend these racist, fatherless children!


It would be too simple to say the "totus" (tripe of the United States of America) is a racist.

He has definitely emboldened racist white people-- to the point that they are KILLING people in the name of their cause... again.

The majority isn't always right.

What would have happened if the majority didnt follow Hitler?
