Man that is a jump. So the only have I can not be in support of something is if I speak out against it in every post I make.


The thread is about take them down Nola group and the statues.
His posts are calling out the white supremacists as a sort of justification for them wanting to take more statues down.

And now your panties are in a bunch with the exaggeration claiming that I said you must state everything your against each time you say anything. If you read his posts, most of them if not all of the earlier ones have points against one side and not the other, up until us now arguing semantics of his posts. This is a pointless debate that's gone on too far now.

Do you not agree that the media is for the most part excusing ANTIFA's role in the violence over the weekend, and that might have something to do with why people feel that this storyline is conrtrived?


I do believe they are. The problem I think is because of that folks on the other side are putting way more blame on them than deserved. They did have a role in this happening, just not as large of one as the other side. And they didn't kill or injure anyone, so that just amplifies things even more in the media. The media is going to always give the left way more play. That is the world we live in.

In my opinion, which means nothing, I have no problem with them taking down these statues from government monuments. But they should all be placed in a park somewhere, not scratched from history. Many of these statues are there because these men helped found and grow the cities they are located in.

Do your research and you'll see the Civil War was about way more than slavery.

And to add to this, the Confederate flag should not be flown on any Government buildings. We are no longer in the Confederacy but in the United States. Fly the state flag and Old Glory only.

The Civil War era was a dark time in America's history. We were not even the only country to enslaved Africans. Stop obsessing with the past and move forward people.

Wut?

I disagree. They went there with the expressed motive of inciting violence.

Hence people saying it's a contrived story. Glad you finally see.

I actually figured it wouldn't be very controversial, but I underestimated the white supremacists apologists on the board.

I get his point but why hasn't BLM been condemned for the promoting of executing police officers? I think white supremacist are just as big as POS of BLM but the fear of calling out BLM for what they are (hate group) is laughable.

No the guy in the car went with the motive of violence. You have no way of knowing their motive. Its arrogant to act as though you do. The guy driving the car is to blame for his actions. Blaming what he did on the actions of others is the same passing of blame that the left typically does.

Of course it is laughable. They are most certainly a hate group and the world would be a better place without them.

I have Fox News on all day. There is no shortage of people condemning them and calling them a hate group.

Now you're reaching...well not just now, you've been reaching the whole time. I can actually claim that I do not support either group because not one of my posts have been for or against either.
So anyone that calls you out is a white supremacists apologist? Like lunchbox said, there is nothing against your statements on their own. It's the context and use of the statements in this thread.
You calling the lot of us white supremacists apologist for calling you out is exactly like the left does when they disagree with bathroom issues, blm issues, etc. We're suddenly some sort of racist with all sorts of phobias simply because we disagree...

Correct...on Fox News. Elsewhere? Nope.

You'll never hear CNN, MSNBC, or any typically mainstream news source declare BLM a hate group. I welcome any links you have to someone that's an employee there doing so.

And that's the problem...it's almost impossible to find middle ground with even media taking sides and fawning over one edge or the other.

You'll either have FNC bashing the left or basically everything else bashing the right. It would be funny and plain boring if they all weren't causing all of this to get worse.

If only they used all that energy to clean up the French Quarter and all the garbage that resides around it.

Fox News is the most watched news network. It is mainstream.

Or just a retort for everyone jumping my case as a BLM supporter for having the nerve to call a spade a spade.

As for being out of context I already addressed it. The story isn't contrived just because we wish it wasn't happening.

People worry about turning the country socialist...hell we are there and heading to commie land. Enjoy the downfall if you live long enough. People really are stupid.
