    If the counter protesters, and the media, stayed home the whole thing would likely be a big *yawn*.

    Don't underestimate the brainwashing the left can achieve when they start rewriting history....

    It depends on the means. When you throw bottles of urine and feces at them, you're hurting your own cause. It's best to fight them with words, peaceful protest, and legal measures. I blame antifa and blm for the growth of the white nationalist movement in recent years.

    Please. White nationalism IS A FARCE. It's American White Exceptionalism at BEST.

    You know who I blame? Multiculturalists and radical Marxists who had, just had, to inject all these poor, unskilled workers into the country - Globalists, rich elitists like the Waltons, who shipped their manufacturing overseas.

    Not BLM, or Antifa.

    The establishment has won. It has us fighting each other. Hence the police standing down. If we were protesting them, they would arrest us - like they did to the Occupy movement, or Tea Partiers - but no - since it's now us against us the globalist rich scum and the state will allow it to continue.

    These Confederate memorials are just a smokescreen, an excuse, a mask to hide their TRUE agenda.

    what is their true agenda? racism, hatred, ethnic cleansing, violence.

    if history and heritage was their true agenda, they wouldn't display KKK signs, swastikas, say "sieg heil", yell Nazi slogans, etc etc.

    I think you're both right. Antifa and BLM blossomed under Obama, along with his hateful divisive rhetoric, race-baiting, and vilifying of white men, and subsequently the white nationalist movement grew in retaliation. Then along came the media to fan the flames and voila, here we are.

    I blame the rise of the internet which allowed individuals who thought they were alone to find solidarity in places like Stormfront. BLM was a movement against Cops violence towards black people (justified or otherwise) and has only been around for a couple of years. Antifa is an old title that has only risen up, again, in the last 3-5 years.

    White Nationalism has been around for decades, and is finding a resurgence due to the combination of a few factors. Obamas election, the lack of denoucement from Conservative leaders who wanted/needed those votes, and the economic destitution of the areas where these groups operate. The easiest recruits are disaffected young people who feel isolated and are easily fed the lies that their predicament isn't their fault, but the fault of those other people without white skin.

    America is a country founded on immigrants.

    The idea that multiculturalism is a problem flies in the face of what America stands for.

    And, this IS a globe. Communication, cooperation, coexistence, mutual support, etc, are fundamentals, not options.

    I love how they claim to want their cultural heritage preserved, claim they are against multiculturalism, yet are an amalgam of different nationalities uniting under one banner and one ideal, ignoring all the massive cultural history and heritage they themselves have within their little group.

    It's pathetic.

    A true tribalist realizes that cultural heritage can't be saved if you mash it all together in one pot because you identify with the color of someone else's skin.

    Clearly the divisivness and political tension is being caused by the left which is pushing to remove statues that are harmiing no one

    They know this is a stick in the eye of white people

    Liberals want to anger, offend and divide a significant portion of America purely out of hate

    All irrelevant. Did any of you think, seriously, that there wouldn't be people upset that their job went to an immigrant?

    Look, I get it. But human beings have evolved over centuries to live in groups of generally around 30 like minded, like colored, and like tempered individuals. Not thousands and thousands of people.

    People feel betrayed by globalism.

    Let the Trump-supporting White Racists have their rally in the parking lot of the cop station.

    Please cite your proof of that, and statements from the KKK are not acceptable.

    Perhaps someone should simply blow up these statues so they can no longer be moved?

    Preferably during the rally.

    What people feel betrayed? Do you have any numbers to back that up?

    Only because liberals want to start a war

    I listened to the mayor of lexington ky and think he's a fool

    The statues of Confederate soldiers are located in a square that used to be a large slave auction site

    And according him that is offensive to black people

    I think if that is true then maybe black are the enemies of whites after all

    But I don't think all black people are that narrow minded and filled wtih hate for white people

    Why not leave the Confederate statues where they have been for so long and add memorials to the black slaves that were bought and sold there?

    Two peoples and their history standing side by side in peace rather angry black people shouting curses at their white neighbors

    Yeah, it's all Obama
    The underlying cause of a large amount of these problems is globalism. Think about it. Manufacturing is sent overseas. Rich people offshoring their companies and hoarding profits. Wages that haven't moved in decades. CEO's treated like celebrities and in some cases like deities.

    I know plenty of people who are angry that their job is gone to an immigrant - they can blame the immigrant, the root cause is globalism.

    It's sick. Has nothing to do with race, and I don't blame them for being upset - I just have zero tolerance for violence nor do I have tolerance for racism, and I absolutely reject any notion that "white nationalism" even exists.

    It is "American White Exceptionalism and Segregation."

    White nationalism is a fraud.

    Because the Civil Rights Movement started out as being all about equality for ALL Americans.

    It has since been transformed to a movement of black EMPOWERMENT and black empowerment ONLY.

    That would hurt lots of people, they're heavy metal structures and destroying them would take a pretty big explosion.

    I think they should be moved, late at night, to the far more appropriate location of the local dump

    There's likely a dose of jealousy there as well, just as with the Occupy movement and their hatred of "one-percenters". I'm sure there are losers who look at the statues and have thoughts like how dare he be so successful as to own a plantation, and how dare he be so powerful as to command troops, and how dare anyone think he's better than me and he deserves a statue when I don't have one...... Destruction is the ultimate equalizer? Because "nobody is better than me, even if I live in my parents basement or suck off the government welfare tit. If I can't have a statue, nobody should!"

    This is the most laughably absurd, preposterous and pathetic stance I've ever read.
