No this protest (hate rally ) was started by racist fucks and supported by racist fucks from start to finish . The statue was just rallying point for racist fucks . To try legitimize there racist fuckery .
The racist denials are real

Yeah, and someone can disagree with me when I insist the Holocaust happened. Should I refrain from calling that person an anti-semite?

But steel the Naz's were not anti-semites they were just concerned about there country .And Nazi Germany was not about racism . And not all Nazi's were anti-semites. It's all just perspective .

Well, I don't think that's an equivalent analogy. That would be like saying slavery never happened, not that the war wasn't about slavery.
But actually, I would refrain from calling that person anti semite. IMHO, if someone honestly believes the holocaust was made up, that just makes them a cuckoo conspiracy theorist. It doesn't indicate that they're prejudice against Jewish people, in my opinion.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

That's the whole point of doing genteel racism, gentility disguises the inherent violence of such a position and in so doing normalizes it as "just another perspective". It allows the victimizer to feign shock and indignation when confronted with incredulous resistance.
"Golly gee, I'm just a good ole boy from Bammy, I don't know nothin bout no racism. Them folks is castin aspersions on mah impeccable characta"
They're obviously prejudiced against the testimony of millions of jews.........Cath...........even more than that......For Some Reason™ they assign greater value to the opinions of a handful of inarguably racist loons to the crushing weight of evidence.
Guess it's another one of those times where they just say and do the things that anti-semites say and do. What a mysterious world we live in.

Also why was the confederate constitution far more restrictive on states' rights than the original one.
That was exactly my point, yes.

Indeed. The only state's right being fought over was the right of these states to secede because they wanted to maintain institutional slavery.

Nope holocaust is a very adept analogy after all if you asked ground level Nazi grunts what they were fighting for and what the Reich was about . Most likely would answer protecting the fatherland and exapanding German power. But it was about all those things . Just as a confederacy was about slavery . And not just slavery racial slavery.

I was answering LadyForCammus. She asked what it says about someone who was peacefully protesting against the statue removal and then stuck around after the nazis showed up. I thought she was implying that there were non nazis protesting there first.
Apologies, CL. I misread your post. I thought it said, " were protesting with those guys."

Except we do have the right . And no one cares if you like it. Just as people everywhere have had the right to ride themselves of monuments celebrating evil. We don't need the statues for the history . We don't need them for anything .
