Racism in America - Comments

@Kim Taehyung I agree.

Hate speech is not an opinion.

@ divine;
You're welcome. I was just so angry over what happened. I had to write something. :/

@ Kim Taehyung
They think freedom of speech means freedom from consequence.

@ isak valtersen
They held a memorial for her and some of the people that were injured even showed up to pay their respects.

@Hina; All the right wing media is passing that b.s around. It's just wrong.

@ Kim Taehyung
Thank you for this comment to the highest degree.

And thank you for this blog. So so so much.

I love the "don't fight hate with hate!" argument because it truly is the epitome of privilege. Make no mistake, these people want us dead. Not only in America, there is a growing movement of neo-nazis and far right in Europe too, the major difference being that in Europe they can't go out on the streets like this but they do vote.

How do we fight nazis and the KKK if not with violence? We give them hugs? Read poetry to them?

I'm beside myself with anger and disgust over this entire thing. I saw the video of the car hitting people on Twitter before I realized what it was and I wanted to throw up. If minorities even tried to do this shit, not only would they be shut down immediately, Trump would speak out against it more passionately and with actual conviction because then it's just more fuel for his racist platform; the exact same reason why he won't acknowledge this for what it is. The amount that white supremacists can get away with somehow continues to amaze me. Yet, at the same time, I know that it really shouldn't either.

Yeah, guys, Heather definitely wanted to be brutally murdered just to make Trump look bad! We liberals are definitely the extremists here and would do something like this. Good job seeing right through our plan.

Seriously? They're saying that shit? They're really using the girl's death as a scapegoat for the reasons behind their actions? Like they literally believe her death was a conspiracy to make thier "god" look bad? JFC. And Trump's probably gonna brush it off by saying it was an unfortunate accident but it happened anyways so we should just move on to make America a better country....

It really disgusts me because now the right is passing around conspiracy theories trying to say that this was all a plot to make Trump look bad. Like this young lady didn't die over this hateful demonstration. Its sad. @Hina;

I heard about this. It's really sickening. And those white supremacists really have to be sick in the head to kill without remorse like that. It sickens me to hear Trump's opinions on what happened. Earlier today i heard him say, "Racism is wrong." But you can totally tell he doesn't believe that when he himself has tried to use the Gay Night Club Shooting in Florida as an excuse to rally up Islamophobia in the past. I'm giving up on America. Let's form our own society and country. Lame joking aside, I hope Heather's family gets some peace of mind that their daughter was fighting for what she believed in, which is equality for everyone. And my thoughts and prayers are with them.
