Politics White Nationalist Rally turns to violence and terrorism

So there should have been no media attention for 9/11, either, out of curiosity? I'm honestly trying to understand if you believe that all acts of terrorism should not be covered by media and, if not, which ones should be and which ones shouldn't be.

 

Did I say that all acts of terrorism should not be covered by the media?

Go back and read what I said. I said "extremism". The media using "breaking news" to cover a white supremacist rally isn't news, and it only gives extremism the attention that it does not deserve.

Think of it this way: why do we not hear about the Westboro Baptist Church anymore? Because people figured it out that they thrive on attention.

If a bomb goes off, or some asshole walks into a church and shoots up a bunch of people, then cover it. But covering a bunch of neo Nazis or ANTIFA scumbags at a rally only gives them the attention that shouldn't be theirs in the first place.

 

No...that's why I asked.

Are you seriously suggesting that the 9/11 attacks weren't done by extremists? Pretty much all terrorism is examples of extremism.

Or if someone purposely runs over people with a car?

 

Yes, or if someone runs someone over with a car. Or shoots police officers at a BLM rally. Or any of the countless other crimes that are despicable and shouldn't be tolerated in this country.

Yes, 9/11 was done by extremists. The ACT was done by extremists. But was anyone covering a rally of Muslim extremists protesting peacefully?

My point is that they shouldn't cover things like rallies. It only gives extremism a voice.

I am NOT saying don't cover actual ACTS of terrorism or violence from extremists. But a bunch of clowns gathering for a shouting match at town hall is only giving extremism a voice that it does not deserve.

I really can't say it any more simply than that.

 

but can donald trump control if he has some white nationalists supporting him? no. Nobody denies there are white nationalists but they are an extreme minority. Now all of a sudden after today everybody will be saying we have such a problem in this country, I mean it's all just a shit show

 

comparing these two things are insane. 9/11 was HUGE. This is a minority of white racists. Ya know the same thing goes for antifa, don't give these fucks attention, these are all lost and hateful people. The issue is the media takes these stories and drags them out, uses them to brainwash people further.

 

And I still maintain that, in regards to the entire country, that such people are a minority.

The majority of White Nationalists are in the south, but it doesn't mean that the majority of the South supports White Nationalism. White Nationalists are a small minority of people in this country.

 

Well, that happened there. The media attention before it seemed to me (I caught a little of it during breakfast) because there seemed to be the potential for it to explode into violence--which it did. There are tons of rallies around the country that don't get much exposure.

I don't think it makes much sense to essentially equate both sides here as "clowns." One was a group of racists, the other was protesting that racism. Racism is actually wrong (which you've admitted in this thread, being quick to say they don't represent you or Trump), not just one perspective like being liberal or conservative. If police had a solidarity rally and another group who believed cops should die were also there and ran a car over them, would you say both sides were "a bunch of clowns?" I doubt it. Protesting racism is not extremism. The only extremism was on the side of the white supremacists.

 

You can't control who supports you and who doesn't but Trumps lack of response to any issues regarding the Alt-Right, or whatever the fuck you want to call the white nationalist, and not coming out and condemning the actions they take in his name is emboldening them and other groups like them to do it again and again.

 

I just don't know what the fuck people want from him, it's never enough in terms of what he says, he said he condemns hates on both sides and people are on his dick because he didn't specifically say white nationalists, I don't even care for the guy but holy fuck everybody letting this small group of idiots get them all outraged.

 

Everybody acts like they hate the fuck out of trump and don't care but get this fake outrage when he doesn't specifically say white nationalists like what?

 

Really? You don't think ANTIFA or BLM are a bunch of clowns? Because they are the ones who usually show up to "counter-protest". One claims to want to kill anyone they think is a Fascist (anyone who voted for Trump), and BLM rallies have people on record calling for "killing pigs". And they aren't talking about the animal.....

Wasn't it Further who said that Trump voters had a way of turning a blind eye to white nationalists? What do you think you're doing here? It sounds to me like you're trying to minimize one to spite the other.

ALL of us need to stop this shit. I don't believe that ANTIFA speaks for the majority of the Left, anymore than the KKK speaks for the majority of the Right. Trying to score brownie points here isn't doing anyone any good. It's time to stop that shit and start calling BOTH sides out for their extremist views.

 

im all about people being proud about their color n heritage n whatever else, but why do white ones get called racist and black one's strong courageous and powerful?

not condoning any of the violence n all - on any side, but as someone outside the usa it seems like an accepted double standard around racial pride? it seems the white ones set shit off much more? why?

if you watch the ufc, cain velasquez has 'brown pride' tattooed across his chest, i always wondered the reaction if say, conor mcgregor had 'white pride' across his chest. would he be celebrated or chastised?

race n religion - just about everything shit in history is related to these two things.

1 race - less sky fairies.


sad shit.

 

SlyPokerDog is a fucktard and wears panties. The rest of my post isn't important. I just like to insult people I disagree with.

 

Rightfully so it's fucking bullshit that these white racists exist but nobody calls the shit out when you see blm marching through rioting and shit, saying crazy racist shit about white people and every cuck of a white person is like "oh well that's just because they are opressed". Where do you draw the line? please decide

 

I did not know about his tweets when he I wrote that, was still under the impression he hasn't said anything about it. As surprised as I am that Trump would come out and talk about this since he has remained silent on other similar things, today he is actually acting like how I think a president should act.

 

EXACTLY. Saying black power and black excellence is fine. All this shit but if a white person is proud of their heritage it's a fucking issue. This country is just so ass backwards, logic went completely out the window forever ago and these white people use black people as their little pets to push forward their morale superiority and virtue signal. That's all it's about

 

BLM is definitely not a "bunch of clowns." They're protesting for a very legitimate cause, cutting down on police brutality. There's an irony in saying "The police as a group are great, but there are a few bad apples" but yet saying "All of BLM are terrible people because there are some nuts who want to cops to die." I do think Antifa is a problematic group.

And anyway, this just seemed to be a group of people protesting neo Nazis, not a BLM or Antifa gathering as far as I've read.

 

For the record, I don't think he acts like a president. I hate his tweets, they are childish but people are literally freaking the fuck out he didn't say white nationalists, but he said he condemns hate of all sides. I mean what the fuck do people want
