THAT was my complaint. I still am not sure of WHY the rally in the first place. So close to that disaster in Virginia does not make sense but not judging anyone except for the presentation of the OP.
To characterize either group as marching against "free speech" is just wrong.
Sorry...that is how I FEEL......I realize on this white nationalist site, that is not received well because the reasons and motives for the rallies seem to take on a "skin color test" all by itself, and that may be wrong but on this forum.....white guys = good.....black guys = bad ALWAYS.
It is to be expected here, but does not make it any easier to accept.
AND the identity politics that you guys keep talking about looms here doesnt it, but of course it is all the fault of one group....certainly hot the white nationals. Do I sound bitter ? Sorry......7 months is very tiring thus far for me and the whole country.
PS.....some of the tee shirts worn by the protestors read "stop white genocide"......gee.......and our President tweeted...."Looks like many anti-police agitators in Boston" was there any credence to that accusation ? Serious question because all the signs that I could see were white nationalist type signs, but I was not there.

Hey, didn't mean to get you all in a tizzy. Just trying to understand your point. I guess my mind is too simple - you know, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me" mentality. I don't get the big deal about people protesting about anything as long as they aren't taking action that is violent or physically harmful to others, and that to me would include destruction of property. I find that groups that promote hate toward others to be disgusting. But it unnerves me as well to go down the path of limiting anyone's right to free speech no matter the content because the problem then becomes how far do you take that and who becomes the judge as to what is acceptable and what is not.
