These are local issues we've been dealing with for years. Almost our entire tourist industry has depended on Civil War memorials and history for years. To wipe it all out would be a loss of jobs for a great many people including blacks. To pretend it didn't happen and destroy any and all evidence of it is ludicrous. Here's a novel idea. Hold local political referendums on whether or not local people want the Confederate memorials. The statues would stay or go based on their votes. That ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The outsiders would not come to the locations. There would be no hateful and violent clashes between rabble-rousers and troublemakers. The national divisions would not be as plentiful due to less media hype. Lives might be saved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have fallen a little too far into the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" thought process. I view Trump and pretty much all that he represents (truly represents, not necessarily the campaign hyperbole,some of that I actually agreed with) as the largest threat the average American citizen has faced in my lifetime so I have become myopic to an extent. Ill take this opportunity to condemn the vandals who illegally destroyed those monuments and call for them to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Lol dude Obama was spying on elected officials, and Supreme Court judges. Why weren't you screaming about the sky falling then? The largest threat to the average America just left office. Apparently having done several horrible things you are not even aware of. The TPP, and the Paris screw job alone where a far worse threat then anything Trump has come up with.

Smh. Dude we have a group of people who cause violence and mayhem everywhere they go. People who directly claim to be communists. Who should have been labeled a terror organization back when Berkeley happened. Of course the Feds are gonna look into them. Heck if what you believe is true, we also have a group of literal kkk nazis. Who's leader happens to have ties to Obama and occupy Wall Street, but that's besides the point. How is looking into these people dangerous for me again? I noticed yesterday you said you have been holding back calling Trump racist till then. I see that just happens to coincide with all left wing fake lying media doing the same, at the same exact time. How can you not see how you are being led like a sheep?Really man, it's pathetic. Like mind boggling pathetic. I'm not even saying you should like the guy, but to willfully swallow every talking point as they arise. I don't know what's worse, the fact that is happening, or the fact that you refuse to even see it. Is there anything CNN can't convince you of?

Actually ironic you said that as a foxnews contributor damn near quoted me in her response to the whole thing I noticed that Trump was using the exact same whataboutism argument in his presser yesterday as many on here. Made me think about more esoteric things like how throughout history technological advancements came seemingly spontaneously from two people at the same time. Anyways no I didnt need the media to tell me that Trump completed the picture of a racist with his response and you shouldnt either. Hell I hadnt even commented on YESTERDAY's **** show. The dude full on declared himself a racist sympathizer yesterday. Just now, preacherman76 said: I don't know what's worse, the fact that is happening, or the fact that you refuse to even see it. Is there anything CNN can't convince you of? Thats just a weak attempt at an attack preacherman. You know what I did first thing after responding to your post this morning? Sat down and watched foxnews' coverage of the issue for a good half an hour (which is about as much time as I spend truly focusing on any news broadcast) and you know what? Trump is still a racist.

Sorry man but from the moment of the torch march any pretense of that being a legitimate protest by legitimate people disappeared. Very fine people dont emulate the nazis, very fine people dont chant racist slogans. Quote “What about the alt-left that came charging at, as you say, at the alt-right?” This is one of those that without the history could have been judged differently but considering his history the evocation of "whataboutism" really comes across as nothing more than a defense of his base voters.

Indiogene Posted August 16, 2017 #70 Share Posted August 16, 2017 "Damage control": Trump now names the activists involved in the violent Charlottesville rally last weekend: "I hate the alt-right, my biggest supporters in last year's campaign" and "I also hate the far left, they're violent and anti-government, although they hate racism and inequality". He finally named the people or groups involved: KKK, Neo-Nazis, White supremacists, militias and extremists...48 hours too late. Now he's after: Antifa, Black Lives Matter, communists, SJWs and anarchists, responsible for the same amount of violence and rioting. Mainstream liberals and conservatives were in the rally too, but I suppose they don't hate freedom and use violence to speak their minds on political issues. And it's no longer about whites vs blacks, it's more about left vs right and extreme vs mainstream. __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gender equality works when she has a gun. I respect women, but I don't view them as inferior. However, social rules say men shouldn't take on a woman, esp. out of hatred of women. If a man and woman can hold a fist fight competition, that's different. Men know they can't take down women, although I;m a thin-boned man...a big-boned woman could defeat me, then there's no excuse for me (male) to fight her.
