The group that wanted the rally. They decided after Charlottesville, they didnt want a bunch of outsiders to come in and vandalize like what happened this past weekend.

f history cannot be changed, then kill off the reminders.
Topple the statues, and pretend they were never there.
Here in Canada, the process has already begun. The Trudeau Liberals recently removed a plaque from the Langevin Block which, for years, has been the home of the Prime Minister's Office and its most senior bureaucrats, the Privy Council.
Hector-Louis Langevin may have been one of the Fathers of Confederation, but he was also the architect of the residential school system, and therefore of the intergenerational trauma that ensued.
So, dash out his name, and erase it from view.
But it changes nothing.
The Trudeau Liberals don't see this as tokenism, of course, but it is.
The exorcising of Langevin's name from an Ottawa edifice doesn't make the Cree family any warmer in a cesspool reserve like Attawapiskat when the frigid winter winds blow in over James Bay, nor make water suddenly drinkable on 100-plus reserves across this country.
But it makes Liberals feel good.
In Nova Scotia, protesters continue to demand the complete removal of a now tarp-covered statue of Edward Cornwallis, the founder of Halifax, because he offered a bounty for the scalps of Mi'kmaq back in 1749 in retaliation to an attack on colonists.
It was so long ago that the American Revolution was still a quarter century away from having its first shot fired, but to hell with perspective.
Tear down Cornwallis' statue, as if all's then forgiven and forgotten.
So, who's next? U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that question following the trashing of the statues of Lee and Jackson. "Washington?" he asked. "Jefferson?"
Well, how deep and how politically correct do you want to go?
It could be argued, for example, that the statue of William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada's 10th prime minister, should be banished from its prominent spot on Parliament Hill because he turned back European Jews trying to escape Nazi atrocities, the most infamous being the docking refusal of the refugee-laden ocean liner, the MS St. Louis.
In fact, King was actually impressed with Hitler.
As he wrote in his diary following his meeting with Hitler in Berlin in 1937, "(he) is really one who truly loves his fellow man."
If putting the blinders on history is therefore part of the new feel-good game, and the removal of reminders like statues is how to get there, then down with them all.
And, while we're at it, let's change Canada's name because it is guilty of the latest sin in the eyes of progressives and the politically correct.
And that's "cultural appropriation."
Canada comes from the Huron-Iroquois word "Kanata," which means "settlement" or "village."
If cultural appropriation is wrong in 2017, then it was wrong in 1535 when French explorer Jacques Cartier first appropriated it.
Or is that pushing it back too far?

Charles Barkely is exactly right. White nationalist protests would be ignored if it wasn't for the anarchist groups associated with antifa.

Exactly. However, the reason they make fusses is far deeper than and has nothing to do with their current convenient "cause du jour"Quote from: "cc"
THe reason they make fusses is because RACISM IS WRONG.
I'm glad I could clear that up for you.

The media is there to bear witness and would not avoid covering it. They would have had media attention regardless. Hell, they report Trump looking at the eclipse FFS. On what planet would the media not cover a bunch of tiki torch carrying asshats chanting about evil Jews and black people?
Let's keep the dialogue in the context of reality please.

Isn't violence intolerance, and intimidation WRONG too?
There is no excuse for antifa's Nazi brown shirt thuggery..
They scare me a lot more than a few misguided, but harmless people with confederate flags.
