Wow, I'm amazed at how many KKK and Neo-Nazi sympathizers post here....Shameful.
Who would they be? I haven't seen anyone siding with the KKK, or Nazis, just their right to PEACEFULLY demonstrate, and voice their opinions under the First Amendment.

It amazes me the number of people who don't understand what you just said. There are a lot of people who demonstrate that I don't agree with but it is like saying, "I don't agree with what you are saying but I would defend to the death your right to say it." I fear because of ignorance and a lack of education we have lost a generation that does not understand how important freedom of speech is.
My husband today said, "First they start destroying statues, then they start killing those whom they disagree with politically, then they go to war and lose because they have become a weak country."
Those groups skirt the line, though they're more issue oriented and will disappear within a couple years.
KKK is a whole different group.

Some of them stoop to knocking over grave markers of Civil War soldiers.
The Civil War and everything that happened in it is part of American History.
They're not historical statues. They're monuments. Monuments change over time. I personally don't care either way, but I can understand that perhaps they no longer belong in public parks.
United States doesn't really teach its people about the Civil War.
It wasn't about states rights.
It wasn't about northern aggression.
The Confederacy was American created fascism. It was about the ten percent of landowners keeping slavery and poor whites in their place (or used as cannon fodder). There was no economic mobility and the wealthy wanted to keep it that way.
"President Donald Trump is saying that "racism is evil" as he condemns the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists as "criminals and thugs."
Too little, too late. He should have been all over this as soon as the car hit the protestors. Instead he flopped around like a fish on the beach fearing that he would antagonize His Base.

Trump is one of them.
antagonizing his base eh? How much of the US population identifies as white supremacists? .003%? Yeah, thats a hell of a base huh? There are more cigarette smokers that support Trump than KKK members..let that sink in

Nobody is destroying that statue, they are moving it.
The agitators showed up Friday night with their tiki torches.
In all fairness, that was a Polynesian-themed Nazi march. Very inclusive.
Ironically, Tiki Brand torch makers came out and disavowed the supremacist way before the POTUS. I guess they inspired him to be brave and step up.
"..Social media users mocked the protestors at the campus, which included hundreds along with alt-right activist Richard Spencer, for using the Polynesian-inspired torches throughout the procession..."
“Tiki Brand is not associated in any way with the events that took place in Charlottesville and are deeply saddened and disappointed,” the family-owned company said in a Facebook post. “We do not support their message or the use of our products in this way. Our products are designed to enhance backyard gatherings and to help family and friends connect with each other at home in their yard.”

Is there a box somewhere that you can check off white supremacist? Most people know that being one is a bad thing so I don't think that most would label themselves as one. A lot of people on this web site spout white supremacist ideology but don't think of themselves as white supremacists.
"President Donald Trump is saying that "racism is evil" as he condemns the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists as "criminals and thugs."
Good start. Wish he'd have had to guts to include BLM and Antifa. If you are going to name some racist, violent hate groups, call them all out.
