Would it be possible to get back to discussing readings?..........
It's probably important to differentiate between what we personally hope to see happen with Trump and other such 'very fine people', and readings talking specifically about the outcome of this particular report's publication. (Or, of course, non-publication...)
both Trump condemned, *neither* did he refer to as very fine people.
The surest sign of bias and bigotry, is when someone is doing no work to counter their personal feelings on a matter. Because it takes work when you have Animus, increasingly harder work the greater the contempt. And yours is pretty self-evident.
the Queen has spent all her 90+ years never commenting on anything, so I don't suppose she's about to change that. Though I agree it might be useful if she did.
Lavalamp, my take on Hilary's comment is that it is not a 'dig' at all. I take it to mean that by making this reading more about people's own politics and less about what the Yi is actually saying that 'very fine people' can be anyone or anything anyone wants them to be: from Trump to Hillary (not our Hilary!). But I have to say, to stereotype all those who came out to protest against the white supremacist and white separatist (which is how many of them describe themselves) as 'Communists/Anarchists' is anything but unbiased and journalistic!This "very fine people" dig Hillary. Tsk tsk.
Moss Elk, Tsk Tst back at you. All this thread has been are people's observation and political musings, most of which have nothing to do with what the Yi is actually saying.Tsk, Tsk, lavalamp, Your relationship with reality is in need of improvement. (This is an observation, not a diagnosis, ....
'Those who marched in opposition to the rally were unified in opposition to white supremacy, but espoused a wide array of ideological beliefs, preferred tactics and political goals. A large number were ordinary residents of Charlottesville who wanted to show their disdain for white supremacist groups, ... Ahead of the rally, an array of faith-based groups, civil rights organizations, local businesses, and faculty and students at the University of Virginia" planned counterprotests .... Members of the Antifa movement were also in attendance.'.... In Charlottesville you had anarchist/communists and white nationalists fighting in the street.
What trump was doing was tip-toeing around the fact that the white racist at the rally are also his supporters. As former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke said, Trump should "take a good look in the mirror and remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists."Spin is to say that Trump was endorsing racism when he most certainly was not.
First, if the 'antifa' or anyone else have only been calling our country racist since the 1930s than they've definitely been slacking. Second you're throwing around these labels of people like 'communist' and 'antifa' - who were in the minority among the counter-protesters in Charlottesville - as if they fit together or all have the same ideologies, and they don't.But then Communists - like Antifa in charlottesville - have been calling America racist since the 1930s - LL
