Unity March Against White Supremacy draws 100 demonstrators to the steps of State Capitol building

[Boiler 46,163]

At least 100 demonstrators gathered Saturday afternoon on the steps of the State Capitol building to make their voices heard against white supremacy, oppression and discrimination.

Some held picket signs: “Strength through unity,” “Love unites,” “We will not be silent” and “Respect our existence or respect our resistance,” to name a few.

“This country is big enough, this country is rich enough, to honor everyone,” Rudy Gonzales told the crowd.

Many people weren’t able to say specifically what they were protesting, but with the new tax bill that the Senate passed early Saturday and President Trump tweeting links to three anti-Muslim videos, people are finding plenty of events to talk about.

One question. Was the video Trump tweeted real and accurate. If so it's seems the Muslims in the video should be the focus of the debate

The state of white supremecy in America according to the ADL

 

 

 

https://www.adl.org/education/resources/reports/state-of-white-supremacy

 

The recent tragic shooting spree in June 2015 that took nine lives at Emanuel AME Church, a predominantly African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, starkly revealed the pain and suffering that someone motivated by hate can cause. The suspect in the shootings, Dylann Storm Roof, is a suspected white supremacist. The horrific incident—following earlier deadly shooting sprees by white supremacists in Kansas, Wisconsin, and elsewhere—makes understanding white supremacy in the United States a necessity.

• White supremacist ideology in the United States today is dominated by the belief that whites are doomed to extinction by a rising tide of non-whites who are controlled and manipulated by the Jews—unless action is taken now. This core belief is exemplified by slogans such as the so-called Fourteen Words:  “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”

• During the recent surge of right-wing extremist activity in the United States that began in 2009, white supremacists did not grow appreciably in numbers, as anti-government extremists did, but existing white supremacists did become more angry and agitated, with a consequent rise of serious white supremacist violence.

• Most white supremacists do not belong to organized hate groups, but rather participate in the white supremacist movement as unaffiliated individuals. Thus the size of the white supremacist movement is considerably greater than just the members of hate groups. Among white supremacist groups, gangs are becoming increasingly important.

• The white supremacist movement has a number of different components, including 1) neo-Nazis; 2) racist skinheads; 3) “traditional” white supremacists; 4) Christian Identity adherents; and 5) white supremacist prison gangs. The prison gangs are growing in size, while the other four sub-movements are stagnant or in decline. In addition, there are a growing number of Odinists, or white supremacist Norse pagans. There are also “intellectual” white supremacists who seek to provide an intellectual veneer or justification for white supremacist concepts.

• White supremacists engage in a wide variety of activities to promote their ideas and causes or to cause fear in their enemies. They also engage in an array of social activities in which white supremacists gather for food and festivities.

• Among domestic extremist movements active in the United States, white supremacists are by far the most violent, committing about 83% of the extremist-related murders in the United States in the past 10 years and being involved in about 52% of the shootouts between extremists and police. White supremacists also regularly engage in a variety of terrorist plots, acts and conspiracies. However, white supremacists also have a high degree of involvement with traditional forms of criminal activity as well as ideologically-based criminal activity. Most of the murders committed by white supremacists are done for non-ideological reasons. However, even if such murders are ignored, white supremacists still commit the most lethal violence of any domestic extremist movement in the United States.

Important, but more pressing?

They're white though.

 

Get back to us when they are responsible for at least 90%. 95% would be preferable.

In fairness, and to help develop the discussion:

 

"If one takes the 215 killings related to white supremacy and analyzes them for the role that white supremacist ideology may have played in the killings, a surprising fact emerges. Of the 215 murders, only 63 were deaths in which white supremacist ideology played a primary or secondary role. The other 152 killings (71% of the total) were committed for non-ideological reasons."

Just trying to keep things in the middle of the road.

I’d be willing to bet that white males probably commit about 80-83% of all violent crimes in the US, also.  Oh wait, isn’t the population of the US predominantly white?
