Either they'll swarm on this thread condemning you for speaking such truth, out loud. Or they'll completely ignore it, because your logic is far to foolproof for them to dispute it.

So what is strange to is there are people who defend radical far right groups like the KKK and expect people to not think they are racists.

It is strange that we even need to go there.
But is this the world you want to live in? Just replace Muslims with your fellow citizens.

And you have proof that "someone" is planning a race war?

Look at the OP its based on the dude who shot up the church and killed a US senator to start a race war, that should be clear by now.

Well, this is an uncomfortable topic that seems to have brought out the emotions in some of us. Regardless of how this thread makes you feel, it is a reality that must be addressed.
There are a few of us within the pro-2nd amendment group that have recognized this potential and speak out against it very loudly. I cannot begin to tell you how many militia meetings, and others gatherings, I have attended and spoken at in order to open their eyes to what they are being subjected to, and the potential ramifications that may occur if their general thought continues to go in the directing it's heading.
I can tell you that this is a real problem. It is not the general "white conservative christian" that is the problem. It is the extreme end of the conservative movement that poses a risk to this country.
The far right extreme propaganda has a very deep psychological effect on those that are exposed to it continually, and it has created a section within our society that is obsessed with firearms, minorities, immigrants, socialists, liberals/progressives and a very unhealthy hatred for Obama. Many of them are convinced that there is a grand conspiracy against them. One that wants to disarm them, enslave them in socialism and force them to give up their faiths in order to become enveloped in to a new socialist world order.
Of course, that is complete nonsense. But they believe it. They believe the rhetoric, hyperbole and propaganda that is spread through right-wing radio, tv and internet media.
Sadly, many of you on this site believe it to. It is laid-out for us to see in the way you talk. The way you think. Instead of addressing an issue within the given context, many of you like to change the subject by making statements like "well, look what the blacks are doing". "Look at how many they kill", etc.
That's not how you need to approach this issue. That is simple deflection and a way to side-step certain realities that you are not mentally and emotionally ready to address.
The potential for acts of violence being committed by white, far-right extremists is increasing dramatically. The longer these people cut themselves off from reality and continually subject themselves to propaganda that tells them are being threatened by all of these outside forces, the more likely it is that they will eventually lash out violently.

It's not about white pride though is it?
Its about the problem with white supremacy, which is what extreme right wing elements subscribe to in truth.
Bravo you see the deflection away from the topic and that many cant address the elephant in the room which is racism and far right ideology of guns taking back the country and the false narrative of the white supremacy ideology.

I'm a conservative, does that make me a racist? Would you care to know what my beliefs are exactly? Probably not.
No, I'm sure my voice will one day be stifled by the mass screamings of "racist" or "bigot". And I'll be lumped together with those who are, by people with nothing more than assumptions, simply because of that C word. Btw that's bigotry.
Being unable to differentiate the good from the bad is going to set a far more dangerous precedent later on.
So, are you going to round us up? Shoot us? What are you going to do with us?
Because, make no mistake, you just revealed yourself.
You don't believe this is actually about white supremacy
you admit this is about people who hold a different ideology to your own that you find to be threatening and fearful.
So rather than try to convince us that we are in error, you would rather forcibly, possibly violently, remove us.
Will you be the one to march my family off to the trains at gunpoint?
