Trust me, being caricatured as weak, sensitive, fragile, etc. is every bit as effective at people mentally shutting one out as those -isms, -phobias, etc.
The difference is one is a baseless accusation and the other is simply an observation based on real evidence.

Is that why your OP didn't say anything? Explain to me why it's important? Explain to me how your made up scenario means anything at all considering white supremists are an extremely small percentage of Americans and they have no power.
Explain that to me please.

When policies are bad, deflect and get into identity politics right?

Trump had said ....
"There's blame on both sides" (and there was)

"You had some very bad people in that [supremacist] group" (oh gee lookie here, he'd called out the supremacists)

"You also had people that were very fine people on both sides" (and there probably was)

How did those words empower anyone, in either group?

If you all actually paid as much attention to "white supremacists" as much as you all (not necessarily the OP) talk about them, you would know that they don't actually like Trump. He's not far right enough for them.

There you go. There's your "important discussion".

"BOTH SIDES" in the Charlotte incident is not really accurate...they were two factions of the left, both financed by Soros. Many reports claiming they got off busses together then orchestrated their charade.

So both David Duke and Richard Spencer endorse Trump unconditionally!

Next Trump selects Steve Bannon, an iconic leader of the Alt-Right media, to be his chief WH strategist.

If that's not enough to convince anybody about his Alt-Right leanings, he's made several other key Alt-Right appointments to his inner circle, as well.

Appointments such as the following:

1) Michael Flynn - National Security Advisor

2) Julia Hahn - Special Assistant

3) Paul Manafort - Campaign Director

4) Stephen Miller - Senior Advisor

5) Rick Gates - Deputy Campaign Manager

6) Sebastian Gorka - Deputy Assistant

These people are all proponents of the Alt-Right movement. A movement which espouses white nationalism and white supremacy.

Jeff Sessions has a long history of espousing white supremacy, as well.

This is indeed the whitest Whitehouse this country has known in decades...

This comment is utterly delusional!

So according to YOUR logic, "fine people" can be members of the Klan, Neo-Nazis, or some Alt-Right white supremacist group.

Both the Klan and Nazis have long notorious roots of terror.

That's like saying, there are "fine people" who are members of ISIS...

No!

Fine people don't join terrorist groups or become their sympathizers!

How many leading Republican politicians support the KKK ?

Trump denounced the KKK but I’m sure you know that .

KKK Grand Dragon endorsed Hillary

Antifa and BLM are just your boogeymen of the day. No - they are not a bigger threat than the Klan who most certainly have been emboldened by Trump.

Trump initially refused to denounce David Duke - claiming that ' he didn't know him" - another lie.

The KKK Grand Dragon was simply a stunt when video started coming out of white supremacists saluting "Heil Trump" but I'm sure you missed all those charming ditties.

Southern strategy, my dear, ya'll keep forgetting that. When the KLAN is marching in parades IN SUPPORT of Trump - I think we can safely assume he's their guy.

Funny how that works right ?
You're wrong again. Remember when Trump insisted on executing the Central Park 5 despite the fact they were acquitted on DNA evidence? He took out a full page ad.

OH - and then there was the discrimination lawsuit against his renting discrimination practices.

You just weren't paying attention.

This question is as retarded now as it was when it was asked when Obama was first in office. The obvious answer is " No" just like it was then.
The Black Panthers saw a slight and brief burst of self publicity but we're past those losers just as much as we are the KKK and that quickly faded.
