I always get a good laugh when your side of this debate uses that example. It's patently absurd. Oh wait, are you saying that the protests are actually the first stages of a civil war and thus all the violence is justified? Also, Germany didn't do "something we don't like", they declared war on us.
Quote:The Confederate Flag is the ultimate symbol of racial violence against minorities. When Trump welcomed those at his rallies he was signifying that he accepted violence against minorities. That is one of the biggest reasons he is the darling of the KKK and White Nationalists.
I've made my feelings about the Confederate flag openly known for years. That doesn't mean I should attack someone for carrying one or that carrying one justifies someone being attacked. If racial hatred was justification for a violent response then every Jew has a right to attack any member of the Nation of Islam. Is that what you're advocating?
