    Amazing. And you just know the conservatives are gonna say HUR DUR SO WAT? HE NOW SAYS WHITE NATIONALISTS ARE RACIST. The point is he is that he spoke his mind the first two times. Now he's just saying what Mitch and his colleagues are telling him to say (even though most of them probably agree with him privately). Regardless of what Tuberville says now in damage control mode, we know that he is of the opinion that white supremacists are not racists. Let that sink in. This is modern conservatism.

    Sounds like a total idiot. Anyone with 1st grade reading comprehension and beyond knows that "Nationalist" is a political view and not a race. Looks like another idiot politician that thinks nationalist and supremacist are the same word. They are pure idiots. There are plenty "nationalists" of other races.

    Calling white nationalists racists is a propaganda term coined by the left because blacks, browns and yellows also have nationalists which the left never comments on.

    So this guy goes on CNN and calls the three white nationalists who are racists racists. Nice, he needs votes in Alabama, I get it. Did CNN ever do a story on the blm black nationalist leader who called whites subhumans?

    I like how your entire political compass seems to be centered around “THAT’S NOT FAIR!” Conservatism truly is the perpetual state of victimhood.
    IT’S SO UNFAIR!

    If so called White nationalists just want a nation of white people... Does this make them racist?

    Black people want to live in their own neighborhoods which is just a microcosm of the macrocosm which is a nation.

    Being a white nationalist does not automatically make you a racist.

    Thinking that you are superior because you are a certain race and that other races are inferior because of their skin color... That's what makes you a racist.

    As far as the Actual Topic (which has NOTHING to do with blm):
    Tuberville is a Clueless Moron (who never should have been elected in the first place)
    Republican elected to Senate doesn't know the 3 branches of government
    Tommy Tuberville apparently doesn’t know what World War II was fought over either.

    I am not sure that is quite accurate. I think he knows they are racist - but he believes that’s just fine.

    So then you would also naturally agree that being a black nationalist is also racist.

    Or even that being a Cuban nationalist makes you racist.

    Im not familiar with all the quotes, but there is a vast gulf between white nationalist and civic nationalist that the media has a keen history of trying to distort, that I wouldnt be surprised is at play here as well.

    ...its also worth noting that white nationalists ARE Americans, just like black nationalists and communists and KKKnazis and libertarians and progressives... Diversity takes all kinds, even bad kinds. We're all still Americans.

    A guy who was smarter than me once said something like this...


    It is the most repugnant and disgusting of speech that is the most worthy of protection.

    ..... People who don't understand and respect the Constitution... Won't understand what the above quote means.

    All white people are bad....

    As long as you say this first and foremost.... It pretty much makes everything you say afterwards okay.

    Key problem is the way definitions of such things get twisted and re-defined to serve political goals.

    I'm what would be called a nationalist, in that I am an ardent supporter of America, our nation, and the fundamental values it was created on. I'm also white.
    What I'm not a supporter of is anyone of any color who seeks to diminish this nation or its values and refuses to support them. To me- the fact you may be white or black or anything else is irrelevant
    to that objective. While we can divide people who support the nation by color, that doesn't define any differences at all, and there will be a variety of other beliefs among all those people.

    "White nationalist" is a distorted terminology, and I think one endorsed by same people who believe in "white supremacy", and any other social dividing line that is used to promote the idea that all white people are racist and all black people are victims. Nobody that does that is a nationalist at all, because they seek to divide and do harm, rather than unify and strengthen the nation.

    Gee, how heroic of the left to track down white supremacists for us. That is America's major problem. The off the chain violence, crime and riots in their progressive and diverse utopias is the solution. They really really want to spread that peace and tranquility to the racist, peaceful and crime free middle class suburbs. This is why they spread viral videos openly hating on white people. When are conservative whites going to quit taking the knee when progressives call them racist?

    Daily twitter outrage: white people having a party. Disgusting

    White people on a bus, how gross.

    This **** is posted on the daily and gets millions of views.

    3link, if you want to hate on white people, that is on you. I am not with you, not even a little bit. Stop white hate.

    Is it really that hard to just admit that Tuberville is on his best bullshit right now?

    Edit: no wait, I think I know the answer to this.

    Dude is just fine. With Democrats now actively pushing for RACE based laws that punish white people disproportionately, worrying about a politician who isn't actively anti-white is not on my radar.

    Regarding my previous post...

    Democrats: It is racist and harmful for white to meet without blacks there.
    Also Democrats: It is racist and harmful not to have areas and ceremonies set aside for black people only where they can get away from white people.

    We are supposed to listen or care to progressives with this spaghetti mess of a moral framework? Christ, the message is incoherent other than white people bad.

    That's what I thought when I saw this... Why would he even entertain (or refuse to push back against) the notion that the word "nationalist" has anything to do with race?

    Kaitlin Collins was, through a false equivocation, "trying to describe" a particular example of racism, although she thinks that only white conservatives can be racist, which is in and of itself racism (as well as bigotry).

    Please explain to me how this dude initially trying to downplay or avoid saying white nationalists are racists, is fine.
