| Hundreds protest in Oakland over deadly Virginia rally |
| 2017-08-13 |
| [ABC] Protesters marched in California cities to decry racism in the wake of deadly violence that erupted at a white nationalist demonstration in Virginia. In Oakland, hundreds of protesters gathered Saturday night to hear speakers and then marched peacefully downtown, chanting and waving signs and banners. Some of the protesters blocked Interstate 580 before being dispersed, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. One of the downtown marchers carried a hand-crafted sign reading, "Call it what it is. White supremacy." The hastily arranged gathering was a response to events earlier Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia. A car plowed into a crowd that was peacefully protesting a white nationalist rally, killing one person and injuring 19. Authorities say the driver of the car, 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. of Ohio, was charged with second-degree murder. A smaller rally held in Los Angeles Saturday evening was peaceful. Candlelight vigils were held in San Francisco and El Cajon in San Diego County. |

| #9 It's Double Secret racism. The worse kind. You know the kind black conservatives engage in when they, well, do anything conservative. The kind that non-whites (or whites for that matter) practice when they stray, even slightly, from the liberal groupthink. Just ask Google. The kind that Whites practice just by existing. I wonder how much it cost Soros to fly all those protesters from Virgina to Oakland. |

| #8 The follwing by Skidmark is, I think, a good respond to you Raj. From this article. Rantburg is one of the last bastions of free expression left in this or any world you may have visited. The personal or professional expression of any contributor is generally welcome. Even 'hateful' HA. Sympathies for your stones. Posted by Skidmark 2017-08-13 12:53 FYI, there will never be a complete cure for ignorance, One can try their best, but as soon as one think one found a cure, one quickly discover that one is still ignorance about something else. It's a life long, never ending process. |

| #5 Where's the actual racism? Come on - it's only racism when it's done by non-leftists. When you find that cure for ignorance, be sure to give yourself a double dose. |
