He's a nationalist - a white supremacist - yes he said that. Watch them cheer him on.
Someone should ask Groper Don the Con for a comment

(99,881 posts)I hope that by 2018 there's an antidote for those that drank the Kool-Aid Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, and Milo Yiannopolous have been passing around. Until then I think I'm going to take a page from Lewis Black and sit back and enjoy the coming fail. Or use the Top 10 I've been doing and start my own show.

(20,996 posts)...though not all white supremacists are members of the KKK. Dylan Roof appears to be a grass-rootsy, homegrown hater, and not really a part of any organized white supremacist organization.

(20,996 posts)...I've been reading the accounts of his trial, and of his horrendous deeds, and I wonder what causes someone so young to be so filled with racial hatred to murder nine innocent people?
I saw one picture of Roof that highlighted the emptinesss in his eyes.

(13,390 posts)The neo-nazis in the movie derided the KKK as uneducated hillbillies, and considered themselves to be intellectual, patriotic, race defenders.
The only difference being that neo-nazis took pride in being smart enough to have read Mein Kampf cover to cover.
It might not seem that different, but the purpose is broader, they truly are more educated, and while the KKK still hides under robes they are so convinced of the righteousness of their cause that they are out and proud.
There are differences worth paying attention to.

(475 posts)takes the time to meet with (almost all) the victims of the Ohio state stabbings by a Somali immigrant... praising the cop who shot him dead hmmm...
It's almost like he wants to create a narrative wherein he bolsters white supremacist sentiments by publicly paying attention solely to crimes committed by minorities.
But that can't be r-rr-right?
