All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
Sure. But the KKK is not today what it was back in Reagan's day.
At this point, the KKK has NO political power. It's been an awful long time since it had any.
And the only political power involved with the name of the KKK is that wielded by the Political/Media/Academia Complex AGAINST Conservatives, WHO NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE KKK IN THE FIRST PLACE.
You may be right and I REALLY have heard a lot of that via twitter in the last 48 hours.
However, in Reagan's day they were nothing like what they were when I came up against them in the 60's .. so I have to think it's symbolic, what the KKK stands for.
I would rather know, since he disavowed Friday, WHY Tapper asked the question Sunday, and why Trump failed to simply refer to the video of friday, and turn the tables on Tapper asking HIM what his motive was for asking a questioned already asked and answered.
AND I must keep it in mind that you personally battled with the KKK, and so have good reason to be more sensitive than I.
My only experience with such people was something like a bar scene out of Easy Rider when my wife, my sister-in-law (both Asian) and I went into a bar in Huntington Beach and were followed in by three skinheads, who proceeded to sit next to us.
We were save when some cops came in and sat down with the skinheads.
At that point we took the opportunity for us to leave.
Other than seeing White Aryan Resistance fliers at my college, and seeing skinheads in the local Target back in the 90's, I have had no other contact with these people.
It's my opinion that, at this point, most KKK types are guys who have been in prison, who joined the Aryans out of a kind of necessity, and consider the situation to be of not much importance once they are out.
I've met men of all colors who sport tattoos that mean nothing to them now that they've changed their life.
Now, that does not mean those tattoos do not give me pause when I first see them.
Tapper knew full well that what he said Friday ! IMO this is how the slimy lying media likes to work. By avoiding an answer Trump was showing people like me his refusal to play ball with them on their field packed with their referees. I never hear these liars ask any Demonrat to disavow Black Lives Matter even once. Fuck them because I am just so tired of their bullshit double standard. BLM is afar greater problem than the KKK. The fact that this hasn't hurt Trump just shows how much people are fed up.
But I would have responded exactly as Trump did: "Duke? Duke who?! Barely aware that the guy is on the planet."
Now THAT is both flanking and marginalization.
Trump refuses to be pulled into the fray. He just lets the media continue along like the little ankle-biting carpet sharks they have shown themselves to be. (yeah, that is a linking verb followed by a period)

DIDn't the KKK just have a demo out in Anaheim?
ReplyDeletePeople got hurt, right?
Another thing I need to say, I travel in Watts, South Central, and Compton quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteDuring my life I have experience MUCH more racism directed at me as a White Man than I have ever experience because of my Asian wife.
People always forget that part. It's not pretty either.
Yes, you're right. Six Aryan guys showed up, were immediately surrounded by a hostile crowd and the Aryan guy got stabbed.
ReplyDeleteThe police were not there for the violence, but came shortly thereafter.
I think two of the guys in the violent crowd got hurt also.

Late entry to the comments, Epa.

Ankle-biting carpet sharks!
ReplyDeleteI love that.
