Ku Klux Klan and New Black Panther Party come face-to-face in rival rallies
2015-07-19
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK]
  • Around 300 KKK members are protesting the removal of Confederate flag from South Carolina's statehouse
  • But 400 New Black Panther Party members are opposing them, and slam the flag removal as 'illusion of progress'
  • Police out in force to ensure the groups stay well apart, no weapons are allowed within 250 feet of the statehouse
  • The opposing rallies come a month after racist 21-year-old Dylann Roof shot dead 9 black people in Charleston

#7  Funny how the press had no issue calling Root a racist for motivation, but they are fumbling around for a cause in Tenn of that Mohammedan that killed the marines and sailor.

I've been looking for articles reminding us that it is only a tiny minority of extremists who view the Confederate flag as a celebration of racism, and that Roof was actually only angry at a lack of opportunities for young men like him. Musta missed 'em.

#4  When the tribalism of some is rewarded in our politics, it's no use being surprised that others decide to go the same route.

It's the political equivalent of drinking and driving.If you do both, you have no right to be shocked at the outcome.

#3  Pay for View Cage Match. I say there's money to be made. Get it off the streets and on to the playing fields where it belongs.

#1  Important detail: Both of these groups were out-of-staters. The Klan were from North Carolina, the Black Panthers from Florida.

Funny how the press had no issue calling Root a racist for motivation, but they are fumbling around for a cause in Tenn of that Mohammedan that killed the marines and sailor.
