I'm not going to make the argument you reap what you soe. Yes the followers of the Democratic party did riot and blow up police cars, and yes the Democratic party did back and encouraged violence at nearly every Trump rally. But I hold no loyalty to any political party. I believe in " ONE RACE...HUMAN". We live in the 21st century. We are supposed to be civilized human beings. We are also suppose to be a great nation of compassionate people that have empathy for others. We are supposed to set an example for the rest of the world to follow. NEW FLASH!!! We are failing on all counts. Calling this terrorism, racism, hate is all semantics. That black man who was killed, is a American citizen. We have major problems that can't be resolved politically if we don't want to change on a individual level. We clearly have people who wish to use a riot to exploit their own agenda towards hate and violence. Why was no one there to help this American citizen. If this was a white in black incident, why were there not other people will to help this man. We are failing as a human race where we are holding on to some delusions that any one race is superior than another. It's hard to prove that any race of people is superior, when they gang up one one man and beat him to death. We need to start backing what's right. Defending those who can't defend themselves, is a good place to start.

On our worst day, America is far more civilized than most countries across the world. Humans used to wipe out entire civilizations a few hundred years ago. Justice will prevail, but I would not go to the center of Baltimore during the riots. Note I would not go to Virginia this week. I know when we are young, we go push the envelope.

CPT (Join to see) - I lived in Baltimore during the riots. And I slept in a cast iron bath tub at night. Even thought everyone know of my belief the there only one race...human, during a riot, people are blinded by hate. And I doubt the Pope would have been safe in Baltimore.

I believe in one race... HUMAN. When black's, White's, and ALL other minorities point the finger at everyone but themselves, they ARE RACIST. And when they perpetrate crimes against there own people, we get excuses, rather then rebuke against their own kind. Black want to round up every white person that did sacred with them as racist or members of the kkk. Whites are just as guilty. When one black person does something to a white person, its front page news and then the narrative is black's are this or that. I never judge the actions of one person or even a group, such as the kkk or black like few matter as speakers of an in tire race. And I surely don't paint President Obama or President Trump as co conspirators in anything that happens on a local level. If Black Lives Matters has a rally and the opposition wants to show up, its the opposition fault for being there and escalating the situation. And the same thing if the kkk has a rally and a opposing side shows up is the oppositions fault. We are adults. We know in advance, what going to happen when opposing views collide. So why even get involved. If you don't have compassion or at the vary least, show a little understanding that there are those that may have differing views, you are just not an educated human being.

Cpl Thomas Kifer So... Are we really going to pretend this wasn't about racism? And conveniently gloss over the fact that a woman was MURDERED? That whole "one human race" thing is cute on a normal day, but this is about white supremacists. No one else. If you're having a tough time examining it as its own individual issue, then you're making excuses for it.

First you slam him for saying stupid things while tweeting... so when Trump avoids tweeting because he doesn't want to say the wrong thing and fuel the fire on this racially charged issue, you whine about that. If Trump were to find the cure for cancer, he would get blamed for causing cancer so that he could cure it.

I thought we had at least kept these groups hiding under rocks. Unfortunately they seem to have reason to be emboldened. I feel that the old saw "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." seems to apply.

No one is an original Nazi, jst saying you are one is enough. As soon as you show some evidence that BLM or Antifa as an organization killed 6M Jews or lynched a bunch of innocent people I'll have trouble with anyone self identifying with those groups too. But they haven't.

Assuming that's true, you are equating a group brawling with police officers with a group that planned and attempted to exterminate an entire people or a group that planned and regularly engaged in extra judicial murders, burning people out of their homes, etc?

Those are not even close to the same thing.

Once again you are trying to make a moral equivelence between people self identifying with groups that's purpose is racial supremacy and have a history of mass muder and genocide and people self identifying with groups who's purpose is anti those groups just mentioned and anti being killed by the police and according to your links at worst have a history of getting into fights.

@joseph cristofaro It absolutely does matter what groups one identifies with. If someone identifies as a member of NAMBLA, we probably don't want them teaching our children. Identifying with a particular group is an action.

Just to be clear on your position. If we come across someone who identifies with and says they are a member of ISIS but haven't killed anyone, that's OK?

Once again, your moral equivelence between identifying with a group that has been involved in some civil unrest and groups involved with genocide and terrorism like the Nazi and KKK doesn't have a very solid moral foundation.
