    This.

    If I march with folks from the "Black Lives Matter" camp, then it's a pretty safe assumption that I support their cause, or that I'm an undercover cop. That's it. No one casually marches with neo-Nazis and members of the KKK. That is not the place to be. I take that back. I might also be a member of the press. But I'm sure as hell not gonna be there if I think they're dangerous, vile, repulsive Nazis.

    My father in law survived Auschwitz. He WAS a Trump guy until this week. He's 90. Stuck with Trump right up to the point where Trump told us not all Nazis are bad people.

    Nazis. For ****'s sake. Not just your average white supremacist, but extra special ones who hate almost as many different kinds of white people as they do minorities.

    Trump is dangerous. He's coming unhinged. Convinced that everyone at that march/counter march were on equal footing. After all, the alt-right guys "had a permit."

    Oh my God. That sure makes it ok.

    Ok, I'm climbing off my Ivory Soap Box now. I hope you guys get this. Trump is dangerous, he's a cancer, and his cancer is metastasizing out to his followers who are dwindling down to the most fanatical. And that's when he'll be the most damaging, when the fringe feels empowered by him.

    I'm sorry to hear this, Ian. I know you to be a good and decent man and we have always been able to have frank and open exchanges without descending to personal slurs or abuses - until now unfortunately.
    THERE IS NEVER ANY EXCUSE FOR RACISM -EVER OR UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
    I'm just going to repeat something that I used some years ago when I left my (beloved) then partner when he wouldn't stand up to his racist son:
    "When they came for the gypsies I said nothing, for I wasn't a gipsy;
    When they came for the Homosexuals I said nothing, for I wasn't a homosexual;
    When they came for the Jews, I said nothing, for I wasn't a Jew;
    When they came for me I cried out, but there was no one heard..."

    Yep. Pretty sad state of affairs when an actor shows more dignity and common sense than the President.

    What did Ian say that was racist?

    PSK asked if he was a white supremist, is that racist?

    I find myself wondering if the millions of black people who don't hate Trump are also white supremacists?

    This is getting confusing. :confused:

    I find myself wondering how many torches moretti actually has.

    And whether they are all black like the one he keeps in his wheel arch.

    Cue Benny Hill music. :)

    Not sure which clip you're referring to? The actual Charlottesville footage or Arnie's? but the answer is yes to both.

    Arnies, seemed to me he was talking from a personal point of view, not as an actor.

    yes, I think you're right; also I didn't intend the reference to him as 'an actor' as a put down.

    He thought KKK was a brand of turbo.

    Still, he looks good in that hat, shows his features at their best. ;)
