Have you seen the ABCNews Special on White Supremacy?

It blamed the riots associated with the BLM protests on white supremacy. And at the end - it said that white supremists current goal was to infiltrate law enforcement.
This guy is just towing the company line. You'll notice that you don't see anything about what he said anywhere other than Fox News.

Anything conservative or republican is racist and

or fascist. Anything liberal or dem is socialist or communist.
Whatever. More strawmen these days than McDonald's has straws.

Didn't see the special.

And can't comment on the content.
But I can tell you that infiltrating law enforcement actually has been a pretty common tactic of white supremacists over history and in several nations. That's not really shocking.

I assume it's Rage Against the Machine's first album, but I just wanted to confirm.

I once did a ridealong with a cop who went on a little rant about how police needed more authority over suspects while Killing in the Name came on his radio. Beautiful timing for my storytelling.

Not at all depressed with regard to the insanity of someone in the guys family believing he is doing the devil’s work?

I agree we all have nutty family members
Feb 16, 2021, 4:13 PM

but maybe what he is trying to highlight is that what used to rightfully be considered nutty has become more mainstream than anyone would like to admit. If this is the kind of family the guy has to deal with, then I honestly feel for him.

Hyperreligiosity genuinely frightens me. Anyone attributing things to demons, angels, gods or spirits, is such clear cut irrational thinking, and I struggle because it's not possible to reconcile rational thought to irrational beliefs.
Roman Legionnaires were afraid to sail across the English channel because Oceanus, the god of the all-encompassing river surrounding the known land mass, couldn't be trusted. I can't find much difference between this and believing a god wants you to vote republican.

But I bet there were a few prayers tossed up scattershot during the Great Med School Narc'ing event. There are no atheists in a foxhole.

Please allow me to, once again, argue for the middle.
It seems that some liberals see white supremacy & racism everywhere. And it seems that some conservatives seem to believe that neither problem exists. Perhaps we, as reasonable Americans, could minimize the extremes and focus on finding ways to address the racial problems that inarguably exists within our country.
Maybe we could let such an extreme story roll off of our backs and bring to light the examples that we really need to work on. Maybe we could ALL admit that we ALL have racial & ethnic prejudices in our hearts - then maybe we could use our heads to work out our racial prejudices and treat ALL Americans rationally and equitably. I don't know how many steps there are to us becoming a racially equitable country, but let's each start with the one that is right in front of us.

Tony,
I hope you are right . . .

T3
Could you name the Dems who refused to condemn violence ? I looked for them, but I couldn't find any.

Are you kidding? Really you live in the liberal bubble.
NC Gov Cooper is one that DID NOT CONDEMN the riots in downtown Raleigh. In fact, he was closer to condoning than condemning.
