(1,660 posts)nationalists. They are also racists but there are many more white racists that don't subscribe to that philosophy. If you only describe them as racists then other racists think somehow they themselves are not racist because they are not like those folks marching with torches.

(9,093 posts)completely unacceptable and they should be shamed by the media, not normalized by it. White nationalist is a legitimate position to hold in America without the fire and fury of the president, mainstream politicians or the media. Where is the outrage?

(4,305 posts)"Blood and Soil" is a slogan lifted verbatim from the old German Nazis of the thirties. Since they were mostly Germans talking about a country inhabited mostly by Germans for perhaps a hundred thousand years, it was somewhat understandable that they would feel that way. In the US, where the rally crowd's European ancestors obtained the land by slaughtering the original inhabitants only a few hundred years ago, their effort to claim that slogan is totally insane. But when has that ever stopped them?

The police are getting any slack here either. Tiki torches are lit containers filled with accelerant. If they're tipped, They spill. This will not stand.
