Speaking of history, ever wonder what a Nazi torchlight parade looked like? They had one last night in Charlottesville, VA.

Funding was good, they had spiffy torches for everyone. No hoods on the KKK members, and no code words in the racist rhetoric. This would be a brigade in the uprising Trump spoke of.

That really sucks. Charlottesville is far too nice a place to be defiled by these reprobates. You have to be sick in the head to actually believe that whites are being persecuted in this country.

A dunce in governance would see that the removal of General Lee's statue would be extremely provocative.

White privilege and the lost cause myth are still pervasive. The war continues, by other means.

Some militia unit marched through Charlottesville early this AM, in an apparent show of force. Seems they didn't stick around. State police have since cleared Emancipation Park in response to fisticuffs.

Real uprising troops. I count 27 persons going by in that shot. Not exactly an army, but enough to cause big trouble....
