The National Park Service has approved an application for a year anniversary commemoration of Charlottesville's violent white supremacist rally to be held in Washington, DC.
DC's WUSA9 reported that NPS approved the application but has not yet issued permits for the rally set to be held at Lafayette Square, a seven-acre park just north of the White House. The event is to be organized by Jason Kessler, the organizer of the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville where 32-year-old Heather Heyer was hit and killed by an alleged white supremacist.
"This year we have a new purpose," Kessler said, discussing the upcoming rally. "That's to talk about the civil rights abuse that happened in Charlottesville, Virginia last year."
Kessler claimed it wasn't his fault that "that stuff happened," and said that in the months since the rally ostensibly intended to "defend" a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, "white civil rights" have taken a hit.
"We're not able to peacefully assemble. We're not able to speak," he told WUSA. "I keep telling people if your right to rally and your right to protest means that someone else's life might be in danger, then it is no longer free speech but it is hate speech."

Splain to me please how discriminating in favor of everyone else is not discriminating against white folks. Use your logic, please, feelz aren't an argument.

You may be surprised to hear this (because you don't actually read most of what I write...) but I've expressed disagreement with Affirmative Action before. Not because the motive is bad, but because it's 1) solving the wrong problem 2) much too late and 3) as you mention, by using the very discriminatory methods the originators I'm sure have a problem with.
It's aspirin for a cancer patient, as a friend says, and it's also one short step away from completely hollow, worthless virtue-signalling. The real problems begin before birth, and messing with the college admission system via racial quotas does not and will not solve them.

Funny. I see a bright woman with infinite yarn to unwind. Trying her best to hash out as thoroughly as she can idea after idea. What I think you see in all the isn't a woman who likes to argue. But a woman you fear. A golfclap and then some to the girl I think many of our mothers would adore. Kudos kudos kudos to AH.

Fear? Because of words on the Internet? Next you're going to tell us you have PTSD from being trolled too hard.

Sometimes you have witty replies. And then there is the lost me in Muskogee logic.

Oh fuck off and die, will you? I've said this before. You and people like you on this site are so completely fucking obsessed with the idea that anyone who disagrees with you must be following some sort of Evil Leftist Stalinist Trotskyist Zionist Marxist Playbook (TM) that it never even crosses what passes for your minds that people who disagree with you aren't two-dimensional caricatures.
You wanna know why I accuse you and people like you of constant hypocritical projection? THAT is why. Because you assume, without even giving it a second thought, that your opponents are as unthinking and dogmatic and knee-jerk as you are.
