I don’t sympathize with any white supremicist at all, never have. I disagree with trying to stigmatize being white though too. I’d prefer is society didn’t take someone’s skin color into account in general for anything.

Nobody here stigmatizes anyone for being white. However always taking sides favoring white supremacists deserves stigmatization

I’m not sure how me not believing there are kkk passing out flyers to kids with candy is sympathizing with white supremacy. It’s ok to be skeptical of things that sound proposterous.

But your skepticism seems to run one way....

No, you just choose to see it that way. I don’t, for instance, think Q is anything other than a LARPer.

If it was just me then you would have a point, but it seems to be a pretty common perception. Think on that or not its up to you.

This has to be the first time in history someone being attacked by bats escaping in fear of their life is charged with 1st degree murder. Maybe he was standing his ground.
Has he been to trial yet? I was very curious about that case as there was speculation that the nazi fellow didn't actually hit the woman who died, and that it was a heart attack that killed her. I never heard anything beyond that, but I wondered how they would prove that he caused the heart attack (if that's actually what happened). The "beyond a reasonable doubt" part would make it tough to prove.

Edit: Just did a little searching and it looks like every report says he in fact hit her with his car. I'm sure it was main stream media where I read she wasn't hit, but I can't remember where.

Here's a story from 2014 where the fucking KKK admits to doing something just like this incident.

SENECA, SC (FOX Carolina) -

"The KKK is recruiting in the Upstate. And a Seneca subdivision woke up Sunday to find bags of candy on their driveways with literature directing people to "Save our land, join the Klan."

...

"Robert Jones, the Imperial Klaliff of the sect, the Loyal White Knights, returned a call to FOX Carolina. He said that this weekend was their national night ride, a recruitment event they have three times a year. He said that chapters across the country drop literature overnight."

...

"He said they're not a hate group but a civil rights organization following the Bible. He said the Klan has always been strong throughout South Carolina and that this type of recruitment is nothing new.

With more than 8,500 members, Jones said these days their focus is protesting against illegal immigration.

He said people who receive the candy and literature shouldn't be fearful unless they're doing something that the Klan considers morally wrong."

Huh. Imagine that. Straight from 'the horses mouth'.

Heart attack eh? Only place that story came from was 'hard right' propaganda sources.

Anyway, as it's been raised:

"The Central District Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia, declared definitively to Newsweek that Heyer’s cause of death was no heart attack. Spokesperson Arkuie Williams said during a brief phone interview Tuesday that after more than two months of examinations, it was determined that Heyer died of “blunt force trauma to the torso,” and that her death has been ruled a homicide."

It sounds so fucking preposterous to you yet you ignored a mother dressing her own child up as a Klansman for Halloween. Practically the same thing yet you think it is so far fetched.

Go ahead say anything to cast doubt on the guilt of the Klan. Its the very fine people on both sides shit again.

Hey while you are at it want to cast some doubt on all those pictures of people being lynched in this countries history? Fake right??

Let me guess this is photoshop 1920s?

I didn’t defend anybody baw, but I did laugh at your e-toughness.

Oh, so you're "just asking questions"? For someone not defending anybody you're sure desperate to pretend that the KKK doesn't even do this. Nevermind the evidence, including someone providing a link where the KKK straight up admits to it. But hey, you're not defending that, you're just claiming it doesn't even happen and so must actually be a made up thing being done by liberals to make the KKK seem even worse.

You're not even e-tough, you're a chickenshit online too. I can only imagine what punk bitch you are in real life you coward. You're not even willing to condemn the KKK trying to recruit kids with candy.

Damn you seem so e-tough :rolleyes:

And you're just a coward. Even online you're a coward.

Wow...just...wow. And you wonder why people have a difficult time partaking in "honest discussion" with you? Holy shit, that you, for even a moment, even entertained that as a real thing, when that image (and video) of that piece of shit running into a crowd of people, and you're willing to go "its fine, she actually died of a heart attack" is...whoa. You guys are fucking losing your minds completely and you desperately need to cut out the right wing media shit that you're gobbling up (gotta love how you're insisting that the mainstream media was the one that reported that, most likely they were reporting on the despicable nature of right wing media that regularly posts lies and other fabrications in order to try to support their despicable beliefs, doing that).

That's a pretty strange place for the KKK to have any activity. I'd expect, if something like that was happening, it would be in a place like northern Idaho, or some other hick infested area. Does upstate NY have a lot of hicks? I've never been there, but I've been to Idaho. We used to have a lake house there.


Just came back from that region.
New York is a huge state.
Yes, there is a lot of small "hick towns" in New York.
Lots of wide open, beautiful country. Mountains, rivers...really fucking scenic.
Unfortunately, there are a lots of small pockets of uneducated white people who ruin the joint. NY has its own flyover regions.

If I believed the KKK were actually doing that then yes, I’d condem them. Hell I condemn the KKK anyways. But I’m not going to buy into hysteria and keep peeping through the curtains because they’re on ever corner. Cheers
