Charlottesville Violent Participants Pt ONE
The clash between extreme Left and extreme Right in Charlottesville VA has been a primary staple of the Leftist Mainstream Media (MSM) lately. The difficulty with the reporting is that it is all one-sided.
It is an awesome thing to expose the racism involved with the extreme Right protesters using Confederate history as an excuse to go medieval. HOWEVER, it is a huge MSM failure to not report that the extreme Left came to that protest ready to engage in head-knocking as well. This what President Trump has been communicating that there was wrong on both sides. But the MSM used the President’s two wrongs don’t make a right commentary as a fake news accusation that he supported the racists in the Charlottesville melee.
I personally am a bit perturbed with the MSM associating ALL Conservative supporters of the Trump agenda to Make America Great Again with the racist extremists who came to bash extreme Leftist heads.
In this Part ONE I am going to look at the Charlottesville racists as a bit of an expose of what Conservatives must denounce. Then Part Two I will look at the background of the extreme Left who came to bash the heads of the extreme Right. I’ll be using a grouping of racists I found at The Gospel Coalition.
A witness on the Counter-Protest side of Charlottesville clash - Kristin Adolfson – recounts her perspective:
“But I was getting the heck out of there. I always look for escape routes. Most people were moving away from the various white-supremacist groups marching downtown—the neo-Nazis, the Southern Brotherhood, or whatever, with their shields.
“I thought there were gonna be a lot more alt-right people there. As far as what I saw, it was, like, five counter-protesters for every neo-Nazi.
“One of the alt-right factions marched right by and we just stood there and watched them intently, making eye contact. At that point, they ran into another group of counter-protesting locals, who were African-American. The alt-right people were chanting, ‘Heil Trump!’ That got really intense, so we tried to get some cops, but they didn’t come at that point.
“I was about ten feet away when the car came. I had joined a group marching from the Downtown Mall—a group of anti-fascists and Black Lives Matter folks—and we were silently marching by Friendship Court, a low-income-housing area where many minorities live. We’d heard that the fascists had already gone there and tried to cause problems. So we marched by, in silence. We didn’t want to make a scene. We just wanted to be in solidarity with the people there. Then we saw a bunch of other counter-protesters coming down Second Street. Another diverse group. We all were cheering together, marching together, clapping and chanting. There was no one else around. No standoff. We were just marching, being peaceful. This was around two o’clock, I guess. It was a very exuberant feeling of solidarity, community, all that.
…
“I was ten feet away, so I didn’t really see details of the car. It was just sudden movement through the crowd, sound, bodies in the air. One of my friends was an inch away from the car. I went and found her and she was looking for her partner. She was freaking out. I stood with her until she found him. She’s in one of those photos circulating around now.
… READ ENTIRETY (A Witness to Terrorism in Charlottesville; By Charles Bethea; The New Yorker; 8/13/17)
Bethea’s interview with Kristin Adolfson was a bit one-sided because there is zero mention of the counter-protesters coming armed ready to confront the racist White Supremacist groups who also came armed. The Bethea interview does point out the counter-protesters outnumbered the racist White Supremacist 5 to 1:
“I thought there were gonna be a lot more alt-right people there. As far as what I saw, it was, like, five counter-protesters for every neo-Nazi.
I wonder what the reader would have come away thinking if they knew Antifa (“anti-fascists”) and Black Lives Matter (BLT) were represented among the counter-protesters and many came geared in battle garb?
Most Americans understand the racist nature of White Supremacist groups such as the KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Nationalists and such that may come to mind. However, just in case time has distanced some younger folks to just what these American racists stood for, let’s take a brief look.
The Gospel Coalition names these White Supremacists at Charlottesville VA:
Some of the groups included were the Proud Boys (a far-right men's organization), the Alt Knights (a “tactical defensive arm of the Proud Boys”), the American Guard (a white nationalist group), Real 3% Risen (a neo-Confederate group), League of the South (a neo-Confederate group), the Lightfoot Militia (a private militia group), the Traditionalist Worker Party (a white nationalist group), the Nationalist Front (a white nationalist group), Vanguard America (a white nationalist group), and four different groups of the KKK. (The FAQs: Violence and Death at a White Nationalist Rally in Charlottesville; By Joe Carter;The Gospel Coalition; 8/14/17)
I am going to look at the group listed by TGC which in full disclosure probably is not a complete list. For example, the Leftist news site Vox also included a group called [Real] 3% Risen. 3%-ers aren’t usually racists and are typically more upset with the Federal government deviating from Originalist Constitutionalism. I’m having a difficult time referencing the Real 3% Risen group thus I am sticking with the TGC list. If I was to hazard a guess though, if the Real 3% Risen group were not White Supremacists, they would have been the only non-White Supremacists in Charlottesville VA.
I begin with the KKK.
Ku Klux Klan (KKK)
The KKK was formed in post-Civil War day primarily in the Southern States rebelling against Union. Here’s a History.com excerpt:
Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s. After a period of decline, white Protestant nativist groups revived the Klan in the early 20th century, burning crosses and staging rallies, parades and marches denouncing immigrants, Catholics, Jews, blacks and organized labor. … THERE IS MORE including video (KU KLUX KLAN; History.com Staff; History.com; published 2009)
Did you notice the Dems and not the GOP initiated the KKK?
Wikipedia sources the Leftist SPLC and Pro-Jewish Rights ADL on KKK “Current Developments”:
The modern KKK is not one organization; rather it is composed of small independent chapters across the United States.[198] According to a 1999 ADL report, the KKK's estimated size then was "No more than a few thousand, organized into slightly more than 100 units."[199] In 2017, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which monitors extremist groups, estimated that there were "at least 29 separate, rival Klan groups currently active in the United States, and they compete with one another for members, dues, news media attention and the title of being the true heir to the Ku Klux Klan."[200] … Analysts believe that about two-thirds of KKK members are concentrated in the Southern United States, with another third situated primarily in the lower Midwest.[199][201][202]
…
According to a 2016 analysis by the SPLC, hate groups in general are on the rise in the United States.[205] The ADL published a report in 2016 that concluded: "Despite a persistent ability to attract media attention, organized Ku Klux Klan groups are actually continuing a long-term trend of decline. They remain a collection of mostly small, disjointed groups that continually change in name and leadership."[206]
…
Many KKK groups have formed strong alliances with other white supremacist groups, such as neo-Nazis. Some KKK groups have become increasingly "nazified", adopting the look and emblems of white power skinheads.[210] (Ku Klux Klan; Wikipedia; last edited on 8/14/17 03:30)
In doctrine, the KKK are as racist as ever with a vain attempt to distance themselves from violent brutality which is still conducted. From the Counter Extremism Project:
The KKK’s overriding doctrine is white supremacy, white solidarity, and preservation of the white race. The group describes itself as “promoters of White Christian civilization.”
...
Notwithstanding these attempts to disassociate the KKK from its racist foundations, the “same bigoted rhetoric…lurks beneath the veneer,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The KKK “target[s] blacks more often than any other group.” Biracial couples are also “frequent targets of Klan violence,” while anti-Semitism and “rabidly homophobic” literature since the 1970s also form key pillars of the KKK’s ideology. … (Ku Klux Klan; © 2017 Counter Extremism Project)
According TGC, The Charlottesville rally organization the protest permit on behalf of the Proud Boys.
Proud Boys
Proud Boys is a far-right men's organization[1][2][3][4] founded in 2016 by Vice Media co-founder and former commentator Gavin McInnes. McInnes describes the organization as a "pro-Western fraternal organization" for men who "refuse to apologize for creating the modern world."[5]The group has been referred to as alt-right,[6] but McInnes describes the alt-right as "too far" because they think "Whites are what [are] important, not necessarily Western values", and instead identifies as "alt-lite". He claims to be inclusive to anyone "as long as you accept the western world as the best."[7]
The group takes its name from the showtune "Proud of Your Boy," a song introduced in the 2011 stage-show version of Disney's Aladdin.[6][8]
In 2017, Kyle Chapman, with the "full-approval" of McInnes, formed a "street fighting" wing of the Proud Boys called the "Fraternal Order of the Alt-Knights" (FOAK).[9][10] (Proud Boys; Wikipedia; page was last edited on 8/15/17 16:55)
From ItsGoingDown.org:
Established last year, the Proud Boys was meant to be something between an adult frat and a fan club for Gavin McInnes’ media projects on Compound and Rebel Media. The political aspect of the group was meant to mirror Gavin’s; support of the Trump agenda, male chauvinism, and hatred of Islam, trans people, and leftists. McInnes himself flirts with fascist ideas, writing a column for Taki’s Magazine (a job Richard Spencer helped him land) justifying the political genocide of the Pinochet regime, and often giving a supportive platform to open fascists and neo-Nazis like Emily Youcis, Nathan Damigo, and Sam Hyde on his show.
Despite his affiliations, McInnes has been adamant about keeping Proud Boys an arm’s length from America’s growing neo-Nazi movement, something he recently reiterated in a video for Rebel Media. He claims, first of all, that Nazis don’t exist—most people claiming to be Nazis are just trolling and any reported hate crimes are hoaxes perpetrated by liberals, and secondly, the few Nazis who do exist should not be Proud Boys because he wants the group to appeal to “Jews” and “Blacks.”
… Proud Boys were prominent in their black and gold polo shirts, and black, latino, and Jewish Trump supporters fought alongside various species of white identitarians … Sal Cipolla of Oceanside New York, a regional leader of the Proud Boys who is part Colombian. McInnes says he hopes to have a conservative movement to which people of color can defect, and does not worry about inviting them to join in a popular front that starts with his own brand “civil nationalism,” and ends with the white nationalists and raging anti-Semites in their coalition.
But Gavin must know how wrong he is that there are no Nazis. Several prominent Proud Boys run in their circles, even Cipolla, who is oddly accepted under the grounds that they will “send him back last.” Together, the allegedly “Alt-Lite” Proud Boys and self-proclaimed neo-Nazis from the Daily Stormer blog and The Right Stuff podcast network have formed an Alt-Right popular front with an agenda of injecting White Nationalism, including it’s most radical calls for ethnic cleansing, genocide, and “White Sharia” into “normy” Trumpism, and intimidating and attacking leftists, queers, and people of color. While they will defend themselves on the grounds of free speech, their incitement to violence has a recent history of success.
Since their inception, the Proud Boys have been rooted in … THERE IS MORE (Neo-Nazis Brag of Open Connections with Gavin’s ‘Proud Boys’; By One People's Project; ItsGoingDown.org - Overtly Leftist; 5/18/17)
