Support NeoGAF

[benjipwns]

Not being American and thus more than likely not being aware of a great deal of context, it's baffling to me how monuments of the Confederacy were even allowed to be built in the first place.

It stood for all the wrong human values, it's symbols shouldn't be proudly displayed anywhere that's not a museum or library.

You should see what we carved into a mountain on some Indian lands in South Dakota.

 

[Ozigizo]

We wouldn't have to have these rallies if the left wasn't so intent on destroying America with the tyranny of the minority.

We? So you're a white nationalist?

 

[And_Gignac]

Richard Spencer has been arrested lol.

That's what he wanted probably.

 

[SolarPowered]

The south is a cesspool of hatred. Wouldn't go there if paid to.

Can we split them off again please?

I'd feel bad for their urban centers. Many are deep blue pockets in seas of red and if Trump's Nazis had their way those pockets would be torn to shreds.

 

[megalowho]

This has been around way longer than Trump. This identity has been apart of America since 1776 and before the creation of this country really. It's what happens when a country doesn't address is fundamental issues but instead brushes them aside repeatedly.

Not belittling the history, just reacting to the moment that's taking place right now. Every country with free speech will have shit views on the fringes, but a leader like Trump who provides implicit support emboldens white supremacists with the veneer of credibility. David Duke saying that today's rally fulfills the promises of Donald Trump says it all, his election has been a flash point for their ideology.

 

[LiK]

That's what he wanted probably.

Yup, dude wants so bad to be center of attention.

 

[Late Flag]

How do we get these people to understand that they're essentially supporting Hitler?

Seriously? They're walking around with Nazi paraphernalia. They know they're supporting Hitler. They're Nazis. That's what Nazis do.

 

[BruceCLea]

This shit right here is why you doing write fucking shows like Confederate. Weiss and Benioff should take note.

 

[benjipwns]

Richard Spencer is literally streaming a video on twitter right now from a hotel room or something, he's not arrested. Says he's coming back to make the militarized police and their communist allies look even worse and this was a great day and victory.

 

[PK Gaming]

They don't even have to wear masks to hide themselves anymore

Trump made them feel safe

 

[RPGCrazied]

So Trump can go on tweet storms at 5 am on twitter, but can't say one thing about this? Yikes.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

We wouldn't have to have these rallies if the left wasn't so intent on destroying America with the tyranny of the minority.

If this was sarcasm/ironic, it didn't land.

 

[LiK]

Rally organizer wants to sue city for violating their first amendment rights. Yea, good luck with that.

[LegendofJoe]

States rights. These men were heroes for many.

Yeah, Robert Lee and Stonewall Jackson are from the area around Charlottesville. And they're revered as almost god like figures by many confederates/conservatives.

Charlottesville is a natural target because it's a liberal area surrounded by conservatives who revere said figures.

 

[Hubbl3]

The south is a cesspool of hatred. Wouldn't go there if paid to.

This rot isn't isolated to the south. It exists in every state in the union.

 

[SexyFish]

You act like they don't know.

 

[cdyhybrid]

He just tweeted twelve minutes ago.


edit: he tweeted an hour ago a video leaving the city in a car, he got maced

he says the militarized police did it

That's pretty funny considering said militarized police are probably largely made up of his Nazi friends.

 

[LiK]

Yeah, Robert Lee and Stonewall Jackson are from the area around Charlottesville. And they're revered as almost god like figures by many confederates/conservatives.

Charlottesville is a natural target because it's a liberal area surrounded by conservatives who revere said figures.

So basically a monument to white nationalists. Can't wait for that statue to be torn down asap.

 

[GK86]

Wait, cops already let him go?

This is very true, the south is not all racist. Here in Florida, we are actually a very diverse population, particularly in the urban centers. I am from the south, and when I visited Ohio was was literally shocked how racist af it was.

...

yaaaas

 

[Velcro Fly]

So do we have any media outlets reporting that Richard Spencer was arrested?

 

[bchamba]

This is all because blacks keep racism alive by continuing to use the N word right? If they would stop using it racism would be over.

Even Donald himself is simply a cumulation of decades upon decades of this shit

 

[BruceCLea]

Hopefully they bumped his head like Trump asked for.

 

[benjipwns]

Spencer wasn't arrested, just roughed up by the MILITARIZED POLICE then released.

I am quoting him from a live stream he just did on twitter.

 

[nature boy]

Why is it so hard for the media to call them Neo-Nazis? They're not nationalists FFS

 

[Slayven]

One of the absolute biggest reasons these folks are so embiggen is because an even larger portion of America are okay with it because they're scared to have conversations/confront folks around them, but stay lecturing minorities (ESPECIALLY black folks) on what how THEY need to approach white supremacists.

You give these folks free pass to do this shit when say shit like "it's 2017…" like no shit it's 2017 and black folks are still fighting the same fight we've been fighting dive we got off ships, so stop pointing out the year as if this is a one off.

Folks will go camp with a den of lions, but scared to talk to other white folks about racism.

Yep

 

[RS4-]

Don't want to lose that good old ad money and shit. Don't want to offend those white people.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Lol.

basically, yeah.

 

[moggio]

Wait, cops already let him go?

Why aren't they sitting on his back so he can't breathe?

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Twitter made it sound like there were confusing reports he was arrested. Apparently he was attacking some cops alongside other protestors. I wouldn't be surprised if people thought he was getting arrested based off that photo and the cops just let him off with a pat on the back.

 

[Kensation]

Wait, cops already let him go?

When they load him in the car, take the hand away.

Richard Spencer and friends physically fought the police and were not stopped or arrested. Eventually rally in park was dispersed

 

[Oersted]

Has someone that Onion pic with the Trump speech subtitle about the irony of Americans defeating the Nazis?

 

[megalowho]

Even Donald himself is simply a cumulation of decades upon decades of this shit

I don't even know what you're trying to say to me at this point. You're right? Am I supposed to be wrong then in my response? Are we arguing?

 

[MKIL65]

.

They should have whacked him with his own tiki torch.

Don't play with fire dipshit.

 

[Dangansona]

The irony of me moving to Germany in a couple of weeks and escaping nazis is not lost on me. What a fucking mess.

 

[III-V]

If this was sarcasm/ironic, it didn't land.

At the time we were discussing the both sides argument, and this was a joke on the upcoming Jeffery Lord or there moron's comment they would get on faux news.

Jesus.

 

[GK86]

 

[Opto]

Why aren't they sitting on his back so he can't breathe?

yeah where's the standard procedure of pushing his head into the sidewalk. It's right there! These cops might get put on desk duty for not following protocol :/

 

[Wingfan19]

This is great, considering everything great their former owner stood for.

So glad the Wings organization was so swift to denounce this... The Illitch's are gonna sue their asses so hard. I'm still baffled at how the Red Wings logo has any affiliation with these shit heads. I've never seen it used in anything except hockey.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Fuck outta here with that bullshit, you know damn well who started the violence.

Tell the Nazis to stop speaking from a platform of hate and maybe I'll see you. Until then, FOH.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Why is it so hard for the media to call them Neo-Nazis? They're not nationalists FFS

Because money trumps human decency.

This is infuriating.

 

[TS-08]

Feels like a "both sides" message.

 

[JohnTinker]

I dont think that photo is Spencer, he was wearing dark blue/gray

edit: yeah that isn't Spencer, original photo is here: https://twitter.com/VSPPIO/status/896399823703814145 that's not him

Back then, I believe the Vice president was the person of the opposite party who lost the election. So when Lincoln died, we got basically reverse Lincoln, who swept allll that shit under the rug.

Trump needed his wife to speak for him. SAD
