I'd consider this either racist, or ask: why or they extremist? Why are the banned from social media? Why is there website inaccessable? Feel free to disagree, but then you tell me: who do YOU think they are? Are they a group that a president seeking re-election should be encourageing? So let's unpick THIS: I've quoted Trump as being racist on three other counts, none of which you have contested. Trump is racist. He uses racist rhetoric. He uses racial slurs to defame.

Being against BLM does not make one racist. I would argue that the real racists are the one's that want to use black people for their own ideological reasons.

One sheriff made that claim and the media wrote thousands of articles. Then the FBI corrected the record and hardly anyone reports. Hence two years later people still claim it, even media still use it. Did I miss something?
Princess Consuela Bananahammock wrote: » Sorry, you are correct, they were taken off the ist in 2018. FBI just uses "white supremicism groups" as a blanket section. Beyond that, I refer you to the answer (and question: who are they and why did Trump tell them to Stand by?) I gave above.
Call Me Jimmy wrote: » Thanks. Were they ever on the list? Or did the sheriff report misrepresent the FBI's presentation? I say maybe at least let's get an accurate picture of the situation before going into how Trump is using them. I don't mean to have a go but think about all the people out there just believing the FBI has categorised them as extremists / white supremecist. I know they have off-colour views, trolling elements and I'm even aware of violence that they've been involved in and some of their guys have been jailed. But that doesn't make them white supremecists and it doesn't make them militants / extremists.

I don't buy this anti-Marxist bull**** and, as you say, they have a history of off-colour views and tyrning up at raliies that then turn violent. They aren't in existence to promote freedom, justice and equlity for all - put it that way.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock wrote: » The first is "likely" bollocks: most of the players were black. The second is just an excuse to avoid looking like racists (them, not you). Unless you can prove it? If this is the bets you can do to defend Trumps's racism, we're done here. These excuses are unproven confirmation biases which are at best very umlikely and at worst downright lies.
CULLORS: Um, I think that the criticism is helpful. I also think that it might–. I think of a lot of things. The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk.

Do you think it's racist to tell black/brown skinned Americans to go back to where they came from?

So interesting to see "Progressive" Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!
