    NBC should either pay her off or keep paying her to sit in an office and watch Netflix until her contract expires.

    You didn't march in Charlottesville last year? You would have seen people marching and chanting Jews will not replace us there. A young woman was run over by a car and killed as a result. She was white and her killer was white, but she was on the good side and her killer was a white supremacist. Posters who I will not name are openly for their own homeland and separatism. I'm glad that you got along with the black sergeant.

    I agree with you there. There has to be common sense and the desire for fairness.

    Why are you sorry for me, you're the one doing the whining and crying about face paint. That must feel horrible for you.

    No I certainly did not march with Antifa nor the statute preserving people so I was not engaged in violence. I saw how Antifa raised hell over wanting to save historical monuments there though. I chalk up as crazy the boy that drove into a crowd and killed one woman. He is getting a new prosecutor in fact. Too bad the government is so slow he has not had his trial. A speedy trial my rump.

    I don't know if the killer was a supremacist. Did the lawyers claim they proved this?
    What black sergeant? My commanding officer appeared to be white but born in Louisiana I think he was Creole. His last name is "French" I believe. Does Ricard seem to you to be French? I am 80 and he is older by at least 10 years if he is alive. I called him on the phone in the 1990s and had a wonderful discussion with the man. He served as an officer under William DePuy and we both saw him as a great General officer. DePuy originated what Democrats like to call the Powell Doctrine.

    Reasonableness, common sense, fairness.

    I remember those days.

    I think there were about three of them.

    I do not believe the term racist is pure evil. As I see it not from a political issue, but as a survivorship issue. And I think globally and not stunted to stick to just blacks that live in the US. I see racist as multiracial not simply one group of a color vs other same or different color people's. Take the natives that came to hate the invaders of the CONUS. Are they racist for defending themselves from us? I see them as wanting to preserve their tribes, culture and things like food supplies, such as Bison. I wonder if the people arriving in the West yelled racist at the native tribes?

    Native Americans were defending themselves from massacre and massive displacement.

    Now I know some righties like to believe that same thing is happening to them, but they are highly deluded.

    Can we just try living in the world of reality. The man who killed Heather Heyer was a Neo Nazi white supremacist. Here's an article to refresh your memory: https://news.vice.com/en_us/article...tesville-was-just-charged-with-29-hate-crimes.

    If your commanding officer was Creole, he was likely of part African and part French European ancestry, so the French name makes sense. Creole people are biracial, were colonized by the French and Spanish and are from Lousiana. You said you heard he was legally black (and that also makes sense with the one drop rule laws). Lousiana is one of the states that declared people black if they had a traceable amount of black blood: https://www.nytimes.com/1983/07/06/us/louisiana-repeals-black-blood-law.html. The most famous people of Creole ancestry that I can think of are Beyonce Knowles and General Honoree. Beyonce's mother Tina speaks about her own Creole ancestry. Beyonce's father is black (not mixed), so Beyonce has black ancestry on both sides and she identifies as black.

    The Indians should have killed everybody on the Mayflower, learned what they could from the limited technology aboard, kept a few prisoners and tortured them for information, and then burnt the ship, and done the same at Jamestown and St. Augustine, and continued likewise for as long as they could prevail.

    Their problem was that they were not quite aggressive enough, not quite bloodthirsty enough, not quite cruel enough, and not quite strategic enough for their own good.

    I have great admiration for the good Indians who killed as many white invaders as they possibly could, but they just weren't quite good enough to win.

    Winning is the only thing.

    By the way, Ricard is a French name (a variant of Richard) and in French the name means powerful, strong ruler. It sounds like this commanding officer was at least a good leader.

    Let me phrase it this way, the neo Nazi classification is not a crime. Hitting pedestrians on purpose is more than one crime. And he will be on trial hopefully soon. Neo Nazis are all over yet they are not driving autos into pedestrians. Are they?

    Captain Ricard was my CO until his promotion to Major took effect. He then was in charge of S-4 (Supply) He told me after Germany he went to Vietnam to serve. And retired as a Lt. Col.

    Ricard was an enlisted man in Korea during that war. He told me he had the job there as the company clerk. Went to OCS and became a then 2nd Lt.

    He seemed to me to be a fine leader. The problem for him was his XO that sucked the place dry. He reminded me of Capt. Sobel in Band of Brothers. Lt. Polston loved to give out Article 15s to the Company. For nothing much, he gave severe punishment. Sobel was stuck on being Captain. Was not going to salute then Maj. Winters who had been under Sobel early on. Sobel walks by and Winters nails him.

    Correct and using today's standards were very much racist.

    When I speak of good racism, that is an example. Natives fighting for their survival but race pointed them correctly.

    Okay. For the sake of argument, i’ll accept your definition of “good racism.”

    Do you see instances of “good racism” being practiced today?

    Actually very few Indians were actually killed in combat with Americans. Here is a quote from the US government in 1895.

    "In 1895, the United States estimated casualties from the decades long conflict between settlers, Indians, and the US Army. They guessed around 20,000 dead Settlers and soldiers, and 30,000+ dead Indians due to direct combat."

    The remaining Indians were given over 56 million acres of land on 326 reservations.

    You claimed that you haven't seen any, lately. The point is that these racists still exist.

    This is the perfect example of why people love the way Trump fires back at the Leftists. No matter how innocent your motives or intentions, if you aren't Left enough, the SJW's will find something to be offended about and destroy you. Her biggest mistake was apologizing, that's like blood in the water to the SJW sharks. You're soon finished after that.

    Obama stoked the conflict for political purposes. And the media jumped in to help him.

    No, President Obama tried to have a discussion about racial profiling. His words and intent looked sincere. Unfortunately, his intent is mischaracterized by some people. The media covered the conflict.
