Everytime white supremacy is in the news repeblican senators and congressman and of corse FOX follow in lock step with whatever the white racist side has too say. Democrats fall in line with everyone else.
The USA was founded on white supremacy. We are everyday, not only victim too subconscious racism but organized militant racist organizations like the KKK, who are labeled a terrorist organization by the federal government.
Yet the police arrests anti facist protesters for protesting at a kkk rally.
And every single time Republicans are in lock step behind the KKK, the nazis, the white supremacists. Why is it not fair too bring this up?
Firstly, assuming that all Republicans are racist is fatuous. Secondly, conflating that with unsourced police actions is not only unsupported, it confuses the issue at hand. Thridly, you write "And every single time Republicans are in lock step behind the KKK, the nazis, the white supremacists" -- which means that one and only one example is needed to undercut your point.
Weak argument, presented poorly.
Finally, you completely ignored the point that not all racism is white-on-minority racism.

I couldn't watch the video -- I'm at work, and this computer is soundless -- but I'm pretty sure that racism is a phenomenon in all peoples, and not limited to any one nation or ethnicity.
If you'd like, I'll look up some instances for you; but I trust you see my point.
