We're at least a couple of decades late in getting that monument to Admiral Yamamoto up in downtown Honolulu. This country used to be able to get things done.

MAGABattle of Saratoga has a monument to him.
I think he was just taking the mickey. He's a mischievous one that Rover.
People don't understand how insulting the whole "reverse racism" BS is. Especially when brought up with the "I'm from the north. We fought to end slavery" reasoning that commonly comes with it.No, racism was definetly alive and well in 1916. Pretty sure this was a "gentle" reminder to any "darkies" traveling through Montana that a large group of "good ole boys" lived in the area.
And don't forget Oregon (territory from 1848 to 1859, statehood after) was a racist utopia while going under the guise of a "free state" during the Civil War.
Also, when the 15th Amendment (prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude") was ratified in 1870, Oregon, along with seven other states refused to approve of the amendment. It passed (obviously) without their approval. But Oregon finally caved to formally ratifying the amendment in... 1959.
(It wasn't the last hold out from officially recognizing black men as equals; that would go to: California 1962,
Maryland 1973, Kentucky 1976, and Tennessee 1997.)
And if through all this, you still think the Daughters of the Confederacy is a cutesy way of honoring the families of the Confederate soldiers, holy fu**, you couldn't be more wrong.
There is a LOT more to racism than slavery. Granted, that generally is one of the worst aspects.
The Detroit riots in 1943 and 1967 were not about slavery.

Then stop acting like one.
And you're offended by something posted on a message board? You need to get out more.

Or the Boston busing riots. The South laughed their *ss*s off at the Northerners for that one.

I think that claiming conditions in the U.S., today, relating to neo-nazis or the nazi party are at all similar to Nazi Germany in the 1930's is a substantial exaggeration, and frankly, gives the white supremacists in this country way more credit than they deserve. I think a candid examination of the facts would suggest that nazi activity in this country doesn't even approach 1930's U.S. levels, let alone Nazi Germany.
White supremacy, nazi ideology, or whatever you want to call it, has existed in this country since it's formation, and it will continue to exist. You can't kill or rid the world of ideas or thoughts. All that changes is the activity level, and the public or private nature of that activity. Usually those changes are triggered by some event or condition, such as the Reconstruction, the Voting Rights Act, forced busing or desegregation, the election of the first African American president, etc...
It flares up, like a smoldering fire suddenly given an infusion of air, but then dies back down again for the simple reason of not enough fuel. Say what you want about the people in this country, or even half the people in this country as many of you have singled out. The overwhelming majority of citizens in this country would never even think about participating in that debacle in Virginia this past weekend. Two thousand knuckleheads, or however many were there, are not going to take over this country.

Hovey, these guys just threatened the parents of a person they killed.
How is it they are not like the brownshirts again?
Stop bringing up the general economy and look at what they are doing and some of the reactions. History is repeating itself.

Um, I am of the belief that the statues were simply about racism, and many on here said that was mostly wrong. That the statues were about the Confederacy and being a traitor.

I might have tiredly misunderstood your post before I responded with the history lesson last night. I thought you mistook my sarcasm of the Helena monument being built a generation after the civil war ended, in a remote outpost where ex-gray coats retreated to after the war, as a tribute to them and not the (not-so-)subtle racism they imply.
I apologize, as it seems we're on the same side (-ish?) regarding the meaning behind the statues.

Missed that part of his post
Funny that people are so up in arms that Islamic terroism is going to take this country over, but these guys, who have a lot more supporters in this country, are not.
Go figure.

Trump should have disavowed their actions. Any sane politician would have. I'm sure that if Clinton were elected and some idiot shot up a school wearing a Clinton/Kane t-shirt, she would have quickly disavowed any association with him and condemned his actions. That's what Trump should have done.
The reason he didn't is because he's Trump. If you stand on a street corner and shout that Trump is the greatest President in history, you could probably blow up the Capitol building and he'd hesitate to condemn you. If you think he's great, he's never going to say a bad word about you because he thinks that reflects poorly on him.
The fact that this group of tiki torch bearing clowns voted for the same person for President that nearly half the other voters did does not mean they are taking control of the country. I'm sure there are serial killers, drunk college students and stoners who voted for Trump as well. That doesn't mean we have to fear those groups seizing control over the country.

63,000,000 > 2,000. That 63,000,000 people could vote for a walking, talking example of underware skidmarks kinda tells me that we have a little more to worry about than 2000 knuckleheads. And it doesn't even take 63,000,000,000 to topple a country. A few thousand -- hell maybe a few hundred -- in the wrong places at the right times might do it.
There can be no equivocation on the condemnation of either trump or the white supremacists. As long as there is one left to breathe or think, the rest of us who DON'T share those views better be speaking out very loudly, shouting in fact, from the highest mountaintops warning good people everywhere that this kind of hatred and cancer is in our midst.
