C'mon man, they were just joking.  they really didn't mean that.  They love minorities.  There were a lot of good people carrying torches 

It's a good idea to question the narrative you're being fed about incidents like this, especially when the lead organizer for the "white nationalist" rally that erupted into violence in Charlottesville is a former Occupy Wall Street member, and a big Obama supporter.  Hardly sounds like he's this extreme right winger that the media has portrayed him to be.

What's really disturbing about much of the political unrest that's coming from both sides is the fact that it's younger participants that are almost always swept up into this nonsense.  These are people who have no perspective or even a true understanding of the history of this nation.  They're useful idiots that are being manipulated by big money on both sides intent on polarizing this country.  

You see these Antifa or BLM protesters out there and the media loves to portray them as almost grass roots organizations with a noble purpose, but the truth is, they've got money being pumped into their "cause" by the same people who have been working for decades to undermine and blow up the current system and replace it with something the elite deem more palatable.

When you have these ridiculous "white pride" type rallies, you have to wonder what the reality is here.  I know the goal here is to pin this on Trump or on conservatives, but then you see things like the guy in Charlottesville  who is the leader, it's clear that there is an effort underway to try to build up some sort of notion that this movement is bigger than it actually is, and it almost seems like the effort to do so is coming from the same people who are financing Antifa and BLM. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but follow the money on both sides, and there's probably some commonality there that nobody is talking about.
