Hillary Clinton says all blacks look alike

[Feux]

Russian agents are probably behind this.

[Kowani]

> she didn't say "all black people look alike", you haven't provided any context here
> "I'm glad the racist lost the election" lol no he didn't
> Hillary is not hanging out with KKK members, but Trump refused to denounce white supremacists/supremacy and actively took an endorsement from the KKK leader

I'm no fan of her policies (way too far right for me) but this is a stretch, even for trump supporters

When did he refuse to denounce white supremacy? When did he actively accept or acknowledge endorsement from the KKK leader?

I didn't know she was still relevant in any way, shape or form.

That's okay. The conservatives will dredge her back up in a hope to make her relevant again... for some reason. (Make Hillary Relevant Again?) Just wish people would stop talking about her. I get it, she lost. I honestly don't remember this much shit going on about Clinton after 2008 or Kerry after 2004.

Salt addiction and a need for a devil figure they can all jeer at.

Two Minutes Hate.

So just because Trump insists that there are good people among right-winged protesters means that he's denying the existence and harmfulness of white supremacy?

They weren't just typical right-wing protesters though, they WERE white supremacists. White supremacists that killed someone remember. To say there are good people amongst that lot? Yeah you're pretty condoning their ideology right there. Like saying there were good Nazis.

[Rectification Government]

How about we just agree American Politicians suck ass on both sides and we need a reform of government

He once told his white-supremacist supporters to stop inciting violence, but it was heat of the moment when reporters kept goading him on it.

His administration recently released a statement condemning political violence, but prior to that, he had never mentioned anything at all about right-wing extremists, despite rising tensions and the growing number of threats.

Pretty sure we can chalk that up as silent compliance.

By which he meant both sides of the charlotteville clash. A.k.a, there were fine people in the counter-protests and fine people in the rally. Not everyone in the rally was a Nazi, you know?

Considering that the people he was referring to were the asshats at the Charlottesville protests, calling them merely right-wing is a bit of a stretch. And no, that was saying that there were good people among white supremacists was, in fact validating them, especially since he didn't actually condemn them.

"There are very fine people on both sides..."

He was saying that there were both peaceful and violent protestors on both sides, which is true. This was because much of the media was making out all of the counter-protestors as peaceful heroes, which some of them weren't.
How this turned into "Trump fails to denounce white supremacy" I have no idea.

Fine people marching with Neo-Nazis are abetting those Neo-Nazis. Not exactly a position from which one can claim moral superiority.

You can use this as a claim against both sides in 99% of all violent protest incidents

Not every Unite The Right rally-goer was a white supremacist. He said there was hate and violence of both sides. Namely, hate and violence from the far left and far right and very good people on the moderate sides. I'd call that a condemnation. He then, a couple days later, explicitly condemned white supremacy.

[South Acren]

Lol. I hope someone archived her saying that. That would be hilarious.

Some of the counter-protesters were communists, does that make all counter-protesters abettors of communists? No, it doesn't. Guilt by association is the biggest blight on politics right now, by a long shot.

He's not saying, "everyone else at rallies is a radical as well" he's saying "the claim is ridiculous and could be made by anyone whenever violence breaks out", which is true.

This is a "which side are you on" fallacy. I don't care is Nazis are marching; I care if they're killing. That's when I consider the ones responsible to have crossed the line.

And how many of those communists went advertising their communism beforehand?

I mean, I care more about the killing ones. However, I care about validation for the marching ones. It makes them feel like they have more support, and you tie them into your movement, creating yet another base of supporters which you're still accountable to. And trust me, if we complain enough about lobbying when Big Oil does it, imagine the Aryan Brotherhood.

[Eastern Don Mard]

Hillary Clinton is a joke honestly. The amount of bad stuff she's done overrides anything good she's done. She says she cares about her people but really doesn't lmao.

[Nova Corina]

Please don't use the term microaggression as some kind of a scathing criticism. The mere word suggests that it doesn't really matter, and it may or may not have been intentional.
