WOW
Boasting about burning immigrants and Jews, calling her a nigger and a mongrel, but not a racist. What would be considered racist in his eyes, I wonder.
In the actual article, the first sentence you quoted ( "KKK Grand Dragon says I'm 'glad' Heather Heyer died in Charlottesville" ) is the headline to another news article; it's a clickable link, with it's own image, in its own separate area. It's not part of the OP's article, and is not intended to be read as part of the timeline of events.

No, they present clear and present danger
Idk how one goes about arresting someone for it though, unsure if it can just happen or if charges have to be pressed

He needs to be sent back into a time machine to 1940's Germany. How dare this twat call America his home. A fucking disgrace.
It's almost like, as long as they're allowed to speak, they'll keep speaking and others will give them a spotlight because controversy sells and a free market of ideas will never not be a race to the bottom.

Those are terroristic threats that would get him arrested in a civilised society.

The African part comes from Colombia too right? In that case they should have just said afro-colombian, you don't call for example beyonce a singer of African and American heritage.

yea, it was an odd distinction. Unless she doesn't or never lived in Colombia. Then it would make sense.

Sounds like a nice, non-violent chap to me.
But the Alt-left, they are another story altogether! They are violence.

This is what I've been saying, everytime they interview them, everytime the media shows up to the rallys, every time someone posts another article, and posts another meme or whatever.
People have literally given these people a bigger platform then they ever could have accomplished by dancing around a fucking statue.
Yes people are aware, noone is a staunch KKK member, then see's a meme and suddenly changed his ways. Everytime the Media does something on them, its makes them bolder and more proud of their narrative, and seeing the people hate them does it as well.
Its like calling a fish wet and acting like its a fucking insult.

He should be on a terrorist watch list.
Allow me to disagree here. I think that if more(because clearly some are, not just this weekend but throughout recent history) of them were willing to kill for their beliefs they'd be gone already because we as a country would have been forced to take them on. Random protester this quarter, random person walking on the street last quarter, peaceful church goers another quarter, it makes the headlines for a while but without constant uninterrupted killings it's all dismissed as the work of a lone psycho. And sure, race probably plays a part in it, white America probably fears an Islamic terrorist attack more because it could be them next but a white supremacist's not likely to off another random white person. But even with the race factor if these guys were organized and killing en mass the nation would have to intervene.
But with them as they are look what they've accomplished, they have the fucking Presidency, they continue to push the GOP further right and, again, they have the fucking Presidency! They probably kill more people of color every year through their infiltration of police forces across the country and harmful laws targeting minorities than they ever could in actual open conflict where the government would be forced to fight them. And make no mistake, since we're not in an open conflict with them they'll continue to operate for years, decades, systematically killing people of color through harsh laws, overly zealous policing and a rotten criminal justice system. And make no mistake, if we did openly fight them we might actually really have a chance to reform the entire justice system, the conversation that America would have to have with itself after essentially putting down a rebellion from the KKK, neo-nazi's and the like would probably dwarf any before it bar ending slavery. There would be a huge chance to clean house around the country. The people that merely "tolerate" white supremacy but don't want to be called racists will find their hands forced but to go against the KKK and neo-nazis for the sake of maintaining their fragile little illusion of holding the moral high ground.
Because that is how this is operating here. Sessions may be a racist and it may be transparent to many but he wants that illusion of not being a racist, he at least wants it to be a question in many's minds, so he'll throw us a bone, maybe he will press hate crime charges against that punk from Charlotsville, but meanwhile he'll continue with his racist agenda pointing to the few times he was on the right side of justice as proof he's not a racist. Even Donald Trump's trying to walk that line, denouncing the KKK and neo-nazis but defending civil war monuments and comparing Robert E. Lee to George Washington. But if everyone in the nation were forced to publicly pick a side most would pick the side that allows them to present a non-racist facade to the rest of the country and world and that'd mean turning against the KKK and neo-nazis.
Which isn't to say I want them all to actually start getting violent and more often, from the perspective of now that'd be terrible, but from a futuristic perspective the quicker we stamp this out the better.
And the sad truth as to why I feel them turning violent first is the only real way to solve the issue is because I think we're fucking spineless. You may call most of them out about being too chicken to die for their cause but what about us? As long as they're lowkey we're too fucking chickenshit to make an enemy of them ourselves. We should be protecting our fellow Americans by going after them right now, the police, FBI, everyone should be targeting them but neither Republican nor Democrat administrations have had the balls to pick that fight. And unfortunately I don't believe Heather Heyer's loss will fuel us enough to do anything about it when we do take back control.

Being a racist has been decoupled from being a racist.
One is bad. The other is a never-ending series of coincidences, misinterpretations, and mental illnesses.

Yeah, I'm a little confused as to where the story is here. This all sounds par for the course for these assholes. I guess him claiming not to be a racist while saying it is somewhat of a twist, but even that's done on a daily basis.

almost no one considers themselves a racist, no idea why any stock is put in that self-evaluation at all
like allyship, i figure bigotry is something you're more likely to hear about/know from others
glad i ducked that thread, then
tone-policing liberals/moderates/whatever on that bullshit - especially after last weekend - need to have a dozen seats
i mean did you see a swastika tattoo? was it taken in a picture with dude's grandma & 2 forms of gov't ID?
if not, this sounds like more of the tolerant left just callin' whoever disagrees with em nazis

The ACLU are doing their job then. Free speech no matter how idiotic should be protected.
Now if we can get the KKK listed as a Terrorist Organisation they won't have a leg to stand on and the ACLU won't have to protect them.

So even though everyone knows they're a terrorist organization, they should be protected until the government, who is infiltrated by KKK members and has worked openly with them in the past, officially designates them terrorists?
Makes sense
Intolerant hate speech should NOT be protected as free speech. It's not in most countries.

The ACLU is setup to be an unbiased defense of Free Speech. They've defended Christmas, Religion, Gay, Trans, and more in the past. You don't have to agree with who they defend to support the ACLU.I would rather have them than not have them.
I agree it makes no sense that hate speech should be allowed and in most other countries it wouldn't. There is growing support to get the KKK and all Nazi/Whit supremacists groups declared Terrorist groups. My understanding is that they would not be protected by the ACLU in that event.
Hate speech is not the same as giving a trans rights group a place to speak. Freedom of religion is not the same as hate speech. Freedom of sexuality is not the same as hate speech.
There is not "well if this is allowed, then this should be too" situation here.
Hate speech is not protected under free speech. You cannot put "Jews will not replace us" in the same category as "please don't physically and verbally assault trans people"
Free speech is about saying what you want. Hate speech is not speaking your mind, it's a call to action. You can say you think someone is an idiot, and at the same time you cannot say that person should be lynched, burnt and murdered. Do you see the distinction here?

Just sickening to read. What a sad, hate filled life these racists must live. Why would you live a life like that? I cannot understand it.

I agree. It's a shame US law doesn't seem to reflect it. My point is not to protect Hate speech, but to protect the ACLU. The ACLU is doing it's job. Unless you are willing to change the First Amendment or designate them as a terrorist group, the ACLU have to defend them like anyone else.

What? Why would you not at that point?
Like, I thought the KKK were proud of being racist.
No. The racist person doesn't see that because in their mind says that their views are justified.
"That n****r? I don't hate'm cuz he's black! I hate him cuz he's lazy and thinks he's the best dancer! That has nothing to do with race!"

Like, horrible thing to say, but that only makes sense if the numbers were reversed.
Thank goodness that so many Nazis are stupid.
