CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A day after tensions between police and community activists nearly boiled over on the University of Virginia’s campus, the city of Charlottesville marked Sunday’s anniversary of a deadly gathering of white supremacists with a rally against racial hatred.

But some 115 miles (185 kilometers) away in Washington, the principal organizer of last year’s “Unite the Right” event was scheduled to hold a so-called white civil rights rally, and police were preparing for crowds of counterprotesters.
=====================================================================
The after effects of Trumpism, empowering the white supremacists who hate the same Muslims & Latino immigrants that Trump hates.

Way to push the obvious as if some startling revelation of the American political scene. :roll:

The title of this thread "counter protesters expected to dwarf white supremacists in DC" simply demonstrates how minimal the issue of "White Supremacy" is in our culture.

I have searched and searched, and maybe someone else can help with it, but I have been unable to find an estimate of the total number of actual "White Supremacists" active in the USA.

We keep hearing how there are over 700 such groups (not counting nearly 200 Black nationalist groups) yet they could only muster at most 600 people to march in Charlottesville who were themselves faced with over 2000 counter-protesters.

Even if that figure were to only represent 1% of the total number of active White Supremacists in the USA, that makes at best 60,000 - 100,000 active White Supremacists thoughout the USA. IMO a generously overly-inflated figure.

Yet the Left counters each protest with numbers several times over the paltry representatives of such White Supremacists whenever they try to "march." It was that way back when the KKK and Nazis marched in Skokie, and it has little changed in the intervening years.

Still people on the Left like to drag this lifeless straw man out over and over trying to show how America is still a majorly racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., society despite all evidence to the contrary.

Trump has not empowered White supremacists, that is just more anti-Trump propaganda. :no:

If anyone is empowering them it is the anti-White rhetoric of the Left, yet their numbers don't seem to be swelling.

What is growing, not only among White Americans, but also among Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, etc., is a backlash against the radical ideas of the Left designed to push globalist, socialist, anti-American SJW policies via tactics of identity politics and moral panic.

No, it is not White Supremacists that the Left needs to fear, it is Average Joe Citizen who is getting tired of being denigrated by the endless propaganda that they are "evil" unless they wholeheartedly agree with the Progressive-Left's political agenda.
