Oh, and what RSR said about them being actual Nazis. The only thing missing was the 'Horst Wessel' song.

Difference being the white people in question WANT to become Nazis.

Sometimes I wonder if you just like stirring the pot Mr. InTheLight.. I am still learning the personalities of everyone here. But you make a good point here. A point so solid it makes the Meme just shallow. So I have found perhaps I need to digesting your posts more carefully, something I must admit in the rush of life, I am bad not to do.

That said, a lot of the leftist want to be the bad butt tough guy also. No pass on either group whatsoever. Perhaps the only people there that might get a pass is a few C.W. conservationist that didn't think through the idea of mingling with the Nazi just as a few perhaps innocent uninformed joined in with the left wing folks. I don't know percentages, wouldn't even venture a guess, but I am sure there was some good-hearted folks that just didn't realize how stupid it was to get involved with the polar hate groups clashing.

Jon, I have no idea what you talking about. The first post references Trump's statements, which were about Charlottesville. The second post talks about "black people who were never slaves are fighting white people who were never Nazis ... "

But they are. Folks might say "they're not real Nazis," but if they quack like Nazis (Blut und Boden and Hail Trump) and waddle with swastikas (and facses) like Nazis, it seems to me that it's likely they are Nazis.
Which part referenced Trumps statement? Which part referenced the Nazis? Has @Revmitchell denied the presence of these racists at Charlottesville? Have I? The post simply does not seem to be about Nazis. Why should we make it about them?

Racial injustice on both sides have escalated to the point we are where we are now. Does this mean we are forbidden to discuss these injustices? Does this mean that the that the controversy that brought Nazi's to Charlottesville is taboo because it is overshadowed by the events of that town?

Does this mean that a post addressing the controversy behind the event, siding against systematically erasing traces of Confederate history, are automatically in support of the Nazi's? By virtue of your remarks, yes. Either you are for removing the statues or you are a Nazi.

Bulldozing the issue with a "you are supporting the Nazi's if you disagree with me" is a bit troubling. But here's a news flash - not all people who fly a rebel flag are racists, much lest Nazi's. Not all people who believe in the eradication of Confederate memorials or statues are racists much less Nazi's.

My point is the controversy existed prior to and apart from the Nazi's. @Revmitchell 's post spoke to this controversy, not to the Nazi's.

I called it too. No one here to condemn it besides you and I have Jon over here giving Mitch what might be the biggest benefit of the doubt I've ever seen on this board.
Yes, and since this is such a hot topic I'm sure you PM'd @Revmitchell to clarify before you proceeded to state what he was claiming with the post. We are, after all, Christians.

Let's be clear--The charge is "you are denying Nazis were at Charlottesville".

But here's a news flash - not all people who fly a rebel flag are racists, much lest Nazi's. Not all people who believe in the eradication of Confederate memorials or statues are racists much less Nazi's.

ALL people who fly a Nazi flag and wear Nazi armbands ARE Nazis, and they were there in Charlottesville.

I'm astonished this easy to understand concept is eluding your understanding.

And let's be clear, the charge is fabricated and asinine. I have already stated there were Nazis (racists ascribing to Nazism) at Chatlottesville. What you seem to be doing is trying to do is shift the topic from the underlying controversy to Nazism.

And astonishment seems to abound. I'm astonished at the dishonesty of your reply.

The charge was against Mitch for crying out loud. Just try a little harder here.

What were @Revmitchell 's comments? Where did he lean towards denying Nazism rather than pointing to an underlying controversy?

Oh, that's right. In your head. You decided this was a thread about Nazism so it must be true.

You have to try harder.

I wasn't accusing you of denying Nazis were in Charlottesville I'm accusing Revmitchell.

Here is a thread titled, "I'm Just Sayin'..." and a meme that says "black people are fighting white people who were never Nazis"

How can you not see that he's just sayin', there weren't Nazis there?

This is not about the statues, not about the percent makeup of the crowds. This is about Rev's assertion that there weren't Nazis there. The very definition of Fake News. My goodness, what next? Six million Jews didn't get exterminated?

Apparently Trump supporters have decided the reason he got elected is to take revenge on the left. On the mainstream media. On Rinos. The attack on the left proceeds to the point of denying Nazis were at an alt-right rally.

Hey, we got Gorsuch, we don't need to do anything else on the agenda. Tax cuts? Immigration Reform? The Wall? Infrastructure? Forget it, we're too busy getting our pound of flesh.

I've done all I can do with him. I would say seeing is believing but I'm not even sure that would suffice at this point.

No kidding. This thread could go on and on breaking down that stupid meme and we could pivot to the fact that no one is blaming the violence in Charlottesville on Trump, at least no one on BB. Then we could examine the political party make up of the Charlottesville city council that voted to remove the statues, and then move on to whether or not it was democrats that commissioned all the confederate statues nationwide.

I'm not surprised at the absence of the rest of the board. Everybody staring at their navel. You think CTB would have gotten away with a meme saying that Antifa wasn't there. Of course not.

I'm white and I've never been a Nazi (charges of racism predate current events, of course there are Neo-Nazis, but @Revmitchell has not been one to advocate racism so it is probable you are providing your own context).
You obviously missed the latest memo. If you are white or mostly white and not a Communist, you are now by default a Nazi.

Apparently so. Or at least your every move (or post) will be interpreted in that light.
