yes...we know you like posting videos. I can post many as well. The question asked is do those videos show Trump advocating for and on behalf of white supremacist groups?
 
calamity said:
Well, so much for the argument that Trump does not represent the White Supremacist class.



Yep. Slam Dunk. Donald is the Great White Hope.

White Nationalists are not White Supremists. This rally was to protect a statue of Robert E. Lee. It was a peaceful
rally until the group who holds the most violent protests got mad at someone other than themselves holding a rally
and they are the ones who started throwing bottles, and started the fighting.

Cut it out.
 
Remember when 45 said that Obama wouldn't use the term Radical Islam?

45 can't use the words neo-Nazi or white supremacists.

I tried to tell people on the left months ago what would happen with this confederate statue issue when it first broke in New Orleans with Mayor Landrieu. At that time, it had also spread to AZ.

And what do you think happened? Lefties and certain trolling posters came after me as a racist for caring about GOPs using this as an election cudgel in red and swing states.

I assure you my Illinois south of I-80 is swingy at best and red in several parts. trump won 70 of our 102 counties. We still have towns that allow signs saying 'darkeytown' ...

If republicans make white supremacy a part of their platform then they are playing with political thermite

Trump doesn't want to alienate some of the few supporters he has left.

Which according to many is defined as not being suitably engaged in trying to shut up those who carry these unapproved ideas.

Trump is getting THE TREATMENT as we speak.

Actually, our president should disavow people who chant anti-Semitic garbage while terrorizing people holding a peaceful prayer vigil. Not to mention, it's shaping up to be that the car terrorist was one of his supporters too.

It's already a well-known part of their 'hidden' agenda .

Trump won't admit the obvious, because he knows it would alienate the far right, which is a significant portion of his base.

I don't understand the "far right." I suppose I'm losing the ability to distinguish between alt-right, conservative, white nationalist, white supremacist, etc.

What I know to be a fact is that Trump is cozy with people who believe in eugenics. From a racial perspective, Hitler believed in eugenics. In America, what used to be white nationalists consisted of groups not having any major political agenda.

Those people consisted of organizations like the National Alliance. Most, but not every member, of the National Alliance leaned toward National Socialism. Regardless of what they call themselves today, the people who comprised the National Alliance were / are the same ones that feed the political rhetoric machine on Trump's favorite political issues.

There is an element within white supremacy that buys into the racial theories of what used to be the National Alliance (I don't even know whether or not it exists in that form any longer.) Other white supremacist groups like the original KKK did not buy into all the political theories of the National Alliance and so, during the 1980s and 1990s, the KKK would back the National Alliance to some extent - even try to have rallies with both organizations participating.

The conservatives (sic) bought into the political rhetoric of the National Alliance and today claim to denounce racism in one breath while using their political talking points the very next AND then they say negative things about people like me that point out the fact that much of their political agenda was pioneered by neo - nazis, David Duke, the National Alliance, and multi-billionaires involved in eugenics.

Nothing whizzes the conservatives off more than to point out their talking points are the same talking points espoused by the neo nazis / white supremacists. It's still accurate and it's true. I don't understand why they are all fighting. After all, the left / Democrats still rally around extremists like Muslims and Black Lives Matter without the divisive talk that is commonplace among the alt-right, conservatives, white supremacists, neo-nazis, etc.
 
Wow! Even Jeff Sessions calls it what it was.

Come on, Don. We know you can speak up. Let's hear it.

You can't admit that your own side has just as many racists. You can't prove me wrong, and I understand your pretentious defense.

I don't have to deal with anything other than chuckle at your nonsensical accusations.

And yet it's Republicans that elect a racist not the Democrats
 
What can we conclude if Trump does not come out today and disown the Nazi's, condemning them in no uncertain terms?

They are the same thing for the people who hated Obama. No different at all, in fact. And we all know it.
 
Paperview said:
And not so hidden.

We shouldn't forget that the birther movement emboldened white supremacists. And that it was led by Donald Trump.

And, IMO, the longer he goes without condemning the White Supremacists, the more obvious it becomes that he condones their actions.

MAGA is a dog whistle. Coupled with the birther thing, it's obvious as ****. Trump knew it. So does everyone else.

But, I'll tell ya what. If he comes out and denounces the alt Right haters as White Supremacist scum, I'll certainly give him credit for that. His silence on that is doubly damning. He knows the haters are his peeps.
