    We are not talking about association, we are talking about participation. There is a big difference.

    Anyway go ahead and explain to me how there were some perfectly normal non-racist people there protesting the removal of a pro-slavery war monument, and that’s who Donald “immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country” Trump was talking about.

      The majority of protesters on both sides remained peaceful, the presence of white supremists in a protest doesn’t change the act of a peaceful protests.

      It wasn’t a pro slavery monument. Lee’s reunification efforts after the war were his major contribution. He convinced other generals and colonels to put down their arms and not engage in guerrilla warfare, Grant agreed not to imprison confederate soldiers based on Lee efforts. I can list more of Lee’s reunification efforts if you’d like.

      that’s who Donald “immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country” Trump was talking about.

      I have no idea what you are talking about, I doubt you do either.
