'We will keep coming back:' Richard Spencer leads another torchlight march in Charlottesville


By Susan Svrluga at the Washington Post

https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/grade-point/wp/2017/10/07/richard-spencer-leads-another-torchlight-march-in-charlottesville/

"SNIP........


The march coincided with the university’s celebration of its bicentennial.

“It was a planned flash mob,” Spencer said in an interview Saturday night. “It was a great success. We’ve been planning this for a long time.”

“We wanted to prove that we came in peace in May, we came in peace in August, and we come again in peace,” he said.

Their message, he said, is that, “Our identity matters. We are not going to stand by and allow people to tear down these symbols of our history and our people – and we’re going to do this again.”

flags they like were on the losing side and even worse than losing wars is what Nazis and confederates were fighting for. Reviling.

How many years would someone get if they went to the nearest branch of Carter Machinery, rented a rough-terrain forklift and a dump truck, removed the Lee monument, and dumped the fucking thing in the nearest river?

No one is attacking your rights as a “white male”...no one is revoking your “history”...what is happening in this country is a movement to push back against bigotry and hatred. If that’s offensive to you, perhaps you should reconsider your motives. I know you’ve espoused the idea of white dominance repeatedly...newsflash, you’re in 2017, not 1956....you may not like the fact that our country is becoming more beautiful with diversity, but it’s happening whether you like it or not...
