If the media wants to know why white supremacists are so active and visible now, they need only look at their coverage of them. How much airtime has been given to these fringe groups that no one with any sense actually supports?

How much of it was actually deserved?

Too much for the former, and not much for the latter. [….]

Regular readers know that I’m no fan of the American news media so it’ll come as no surprise that I absolutely AGREE with this. I’ve long felt that so much of the over-amplified “drama” shown at such events happens because the media is there and sadly, in SOME cases perhaps even manipulating it.

Well I finally caught one such ‘set-up” shot on MSNBC as an on-the-scene reporter covered THIS rally. The cameraman the reporter before she was ready. She was holding marchers back waiting for her cue. As soon as the reporter realized the camera was rolling she subtlety signaled to the marchers to resume marching forward while she walked front and center of the crowd babbling her minute to minute coverage.

I was so angry and immediately thought to myself I’m probably NOT the only one to catch this…smh! And it plays right into Trump’s hands. Honestly, I am so disgusted and so d*mn tired of the news media playing the American public for fools ..and to this country’s detriment.

“The part that got me is it look like most of the anti racist protesters were white. I was thinking a lot of black people would go because DC is mostly black, but it was the other way around.”

BINGO! Give that man a cigar…lol

BD, for months I have been telling my family and close friends that THIS fight (for the Soul of America) must be fought primarily between White Americans (those who love this country and those who don’t). I’m not saying that “others” don’t have role to play in all this. We do.

I’m simply saying, good, decent, and fair-minded White Americans must step up and take on the Hateful members of their own tribe. And they seem to be doing that. They certainly showed up, and stepped up, BIG time yesterday. If that trend continues then the haters CAN’T win. They won’t win.

A handful of the same white supremacists attempted to replicate the same impressive turnout at a park in front of the White House on Sunday — a rally billed as the sequel to last year’s deadly “Unite the Right.” Instead, only a couple dozen sad-looking racists actually showed up, while over a thousand anti-racist counterprotesters rallied on the other side of Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C.

White supremacist organizer Jason Kessler — who also planned last year’s Charlottesville debacle — brought his ragtag group of racists to supposedly defend “white civil rights,” but embarrassingly began his speech by immediately admitting it was a “weird and imperfect” flop.

The national news media covering the event quickly latched onto this fact, declaring victory for the massive anti-racist protest and defeat for the white supremacists.

Conservatives who wish to distance themselves from racists also declared victory by suggesting that because so few white supremacists showed up to “Unite the Right 2,” President Donald Trump is not actually emboldening their cause as so many have accurately claimed.

This analysis fails to see what is actually happening with white supremacy in America.

Don’t be fooled, racists are on the rise.

Yes, But their numbers are dwindling despite all their rabble-rousing and dishonest claims to the contrary. For haters who continue their hateful ways I think their heyday is long over.

And again, I’m cautiously optimistic that “Sunday’s failed rally” truly is “a signal that times are changing for far-right extremist groups.” The days of them getting mainstream attention are numbered.
