Oh, you mean like Jussie Smollett? Good point.

Haha....source please!

Look, you can tell yourself whatever you need to.

Fact are facts.
Where did I say other races are stealing from whites? You need to be more careful about keeping your posters straight. All I did was to clarify and correct some statistics in here.

Well put! I was searching for the right words and you nailed it.

Do I think African Americans and Hispanics are under performing and need to do better? Absolutely. But they are not the only ones "taking" things from other people.
You misunderstand me. Its not that I think that black people are taking anything away from me. In fact, they're my neighbors. My point was that you point the finger at white southerners and say that the south takes more than other parts of the country, but part of the equation is that a third of our population is black, and blacks are statistically more likely to be on government aid. So are you complaining about giving aid to the black population in the south?

Because people like you care more about getting your feelings hurt all the time (ironically, that is what you think of SJWs, which is also true) rather than actually sitting down and thinking how you can improve your lives and those around you.
Its not about hurt feelings, its about spreading a narrative that just isn't true. FWIW, I'm doing just fine, and would be better if people like you weren't trying to shove your ideas at me through government. As a matter of fact, I was busy trying to improve my life and the lives of those around me until your ilk interrupted me with your B.S. belief system and garbage narrative.

I'm talking about him condoning all of the "very fine people" who happen to be white supremacists.

Devil is in the details. I only can say that in my daily travels, I run into lots of different people. I can't walk 5 blocks without hearing 5 different languages. I don't know even one 'white nationalist.'

Richard Spencer self-describes as a 'white nationalist.' I've tried to find out how many followers he has, but the number doesn't seem to be available. That tells you that the number is not very big.
No idea and I don't know how many are there.

But I did encounter few of em IRL and see the symptoms in some of the posters in online forums.

Let's call it by the real name - WHITE FEAR.
This is nothing new. It always rears its ugly head in unsettling times and is, in fact, proof positive that this so-called "Greatest Economy" is anything but. If we had a great economy then the White Nationalists would be too busy making and spending money to rant against forces and people they fear.

See if this quote makes any sense?

"Before the wide eyes of the mob is ever the Shape of Fear. Back of the writhing, yelling, cruel-eyed demons who break, destroy, maim and lynch and burn at the stake, is a knot, large or small, of normal human beings, and these human beings at heart are desperately afraid of something. Of what? Of many things, but usually of losing their jobs, being declassed, degraded, or actually disgraced; of losing their hopes, their savings, their plans for their children; of the actual pangs of hunger, of dirt, of crime. And of all this, most ubiquitous in modern industrial society is that fear of unemployment."
WEB-D

IMHO, this applies perfectly to most current White Nationalists. As many have said here, those of us who are more "normal" are working hard, raising families, helping people, learning things and doing 100's of other things.

But those who are NOT...who feel they have been "left behind" and need someone to blame it on...will often look at "the other".

As Du Bois is getting at, some of this is very real "of the actual pangs of hunger". Of course, this is the fault of the corporate titans and many other forces, not of the brown menace or ganstas. But weak men who ID with the bottom of their particular totems are NEVER going to look up in their "race" for the blame. No, they are always going to look somewhere else because, in their minds, one "of their race" can't possibly be responsible for their lower pay, loss of status or job.

I have lost count of the number of people murdered because of Trump's hate speeches. DDT is looking more like a Hitler wannabe day by day.
