Trump Has Finally Condemned Neo-Nazis & KKK Two Days After Neo-Nazi Kills Protester

Duh of course, the asshole was squinting hard as fuck
 
Just listened to the speech. You could tell it was completely written and directed by others seeing as Trump never veered off on a tangent about how great he is or how much people love him. Someone may as well have been blackmailing him into doing it.

Faker than CNN

Not at all a fan of trying to strip someone's blackness away from them because you disagree with them. Blackness is not a set of political beliefs and implying otherwise propagates the myth that black people are a monolith. They aren't.
He defends everything the Republicans and Trump has done no matter how racist and crazy it is.

He is the black version of Lord or Conway etc.

He is not helping from the inside. So fuck his blackness. I have no problem with black Republicans. But to agree with everything is just being a sellout.

Aside from obviously being disingenuous, him not mentioning "alt-right" will be the way these groups try to get a pass. We all know they're all the same, but I can already picture the argument being, "he said KKK and Nazis. We're neither. We're the Alt-right. He hasn't condemned us."
 
Disingenuous. Watch the video. This is the guy that goes off the handle at anything. You'll hear his real opinions on twitter the moment events happen. You've already heard where his support lies in his first bit on this disgusting event and his tone says everything.
 
Even if he said the right things as it happened, even if he called a terrorist attack a terrorist attack, I wouldn't wipe my ass with those words because they come from the mouth of Donald fucking Trump
 
I can't fathom what it must be like being the host to this pointless nonsense. Literally everyday solving nothing, watching emotions and identity politics lead word dribble rather than articulated, clear positions inform the chosen words and debate.

When do we get a re-enactment of the opening scene of Newsroom?

I hate that idiot on the top left corner. The fact that he's black and a staunch supporter of Trump makes him even more difficult to stomach.

Yeah, Alt Right is their modern tag and he deliberately didn't mention it again.
 
Well, I know at least one person who has already bought into this BS (though my dad surely will as well). Of course, he's literally in a league of his own among the dumbest people I've ever interacted with in my life, so I'm not surprised.

I'm surprised at how quickly the internet is demonising the Antifa, well the media too.

When up against 100% Nazi scum. NAZI SCUM. Wow.

Given the ease in which Paris started to drag out as much vitriol and highlight his and his families' experiences with racism, that felt utterly deliberate. Like, his offence, was deliberate.

Like, his motivation was to go on there, derail any and all debate about the President's lack of action on the subject of combating the growing trend to hate groups in the US, and present a stereotypical caricature of an angry black person. It's fucking disgusting.

Of course remember the two rules, they formulated this stuff more then 40 years ago:
Always attack, never defend.
Never attack your own.

The alt-right are completely different from the KKK and the Nazis.

They just coincidentally post memes involving the KKK

and the Nazis

and use a lot of their terminology

and gestures

and sometimes dress like them while in public.

But they're completely different. Balee me.

They're all the same fucking thing

Told you, that is why he said "including" and not "especially".

So that his NAZI brothers could deflect the blame towards the left.

The left will attack itself, and join in in attacking ANTIFA. A group that takes the blows for their freedom and points of view.

The right is laughing their arses off.

Can CNN just stop having pieces of shit on? It’s like they got rid of Jeffrey Lord so now Paris has to step up and become even worse.

Uh, CNN loves this shit and viewers eat it up and talk about it. If they actually gave a shit, they would have cut that guy off a long ass time ago and wouldn't give a fuck if he never came back on the show.

This statement allows right-wing talking heads to go on news programs and say "What more do you want? The left screamed for days about how he didn't disavow white nationalists and now he did. This guy can never win. Why are we still going in about this?"

I haven't watched cable news today, but I'd appreciate it if anyone who has can confirm that this has already happened.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!

Have we ruled out the possibility that Paris is not Jeffrey Lord sneaking back on the air in blackface?
 
I see this from two viewpoints, one it doesn't matter what Trump said or didn't say. Its gonna fall short for anyone who hates him, He could come out and behead a Nazi on stage and people would say it wasn't slow enough and he gave the Nazi too quick a death. So people were going to be outraged by anything he says anyway.

On the other side of things. I'm guessing the GOP leaders had to drag Trump out in front of a Camera and denounce this shit. Now I don't think Trump is some kind of secret KKK member, I honestly don't. He is all about himself, and anything that takes the news camera off him is something he doesn't want to deal with. He is a business man, and what do business men do, they try to make as many customers as happy as possible, that includes anyone who may vote for him. Having these huge over arching generalizations that should be a condemnation of a specific group, no matter who they be, are just him trying to keep votes for the next election.

He's going to have to be a lot worse for me to never watch The Thing, Escape from New York or Big Trouble again

I believe they're talking about James Woods, not John Carpenter. It's just that Wood's best movies were with Carpenter.

Oh and (fittingly) Ghosts of Mississippi.



Edit: Just remembered Videodrome is Cronenberg. Damn you 80s directors with three-syllable last names that start with "C"

keep telling yourself that. Look at your avatar, imagine that .... in RL, and you know what NAZIs are. Sure the Horde is an Alliance of convenience, but as an former Orc Player (don't play anymore), I would judge the deathcamps of the Forsaken very harshly and thus agree with Drek'thar: TAKE YOUR DAMN FORSAKEN WITH YOU!

or as in this case: Take your DAMN NAZIS WITH YOU!

And before you go "but boohooohoo, they suffered horribly". So did the germans in the interbellum, read about what the French and Brittish did to the Germans during that time. But that NEVER justifies allying with NAZIs. No amount of suffering can alleviate the Deathcamps. Were they tortured and killed: Jewish, Autistic, mentally ill, Socialists, Gypsies, Homosexuals and anybody else they deemed unfit. If you really want to know, they made LAMPS out of human skin! And that is one of the "nicer" things they did. So yes, like your user icon's faction, the NAZIs had a habbit of being inhuman scum that did stuff that would make Kim Yung Un throw up.

And THAT is what Trump allied himself with!

There is no allying with this,... period.

That's making the rounds on social media by the talking heads on twitter, so expect it on TV soon if it's not already.

Go jump off the top floor of Trump Tower, you worthless cheeto fuck. You are the one that has been pouring gasoline on this fire.

The alt-right entire defence is that Antifa is just as bad or worse. Some people have found some of these Nazi scumbags dressing up as antifa and intentionally causing shit.

Had to look this up for a bit after reading this (in which the only thing of substance that seems to have been bandied around online this year with regards to Carpenter and racism is an interpretation that 'The Live' has an antisemitic subtext that Nazis latched onto... much to Carpenter's disapproval). Took a while to realise James Woods links the films mentioned before, and yeah he's a piece of shit.
