I never of heard of it until yesterday and like certain makes of cars it seems like I spot it now, or maybe it is something that has a lot of attention I don't know. Things seem to escalate quickly since now labeled as a hate group, there may be a clash some would feel warranted in the near future. Hopefully, that doesn't happen.
~~~~~~~~~~
White Lives Matter will be added to a list of hate groups. The Southern Poverty Law Center announced it will be adding the group to what it calls its "Hate Map."
~~~~~~~~~~
"the president of the SPLC has said: "There's no doubt that some protesters who claim the mantle of Black Lives Matter have said offensive things, like the chant 'pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon' that was heard at one rally. But before we condemn the entire movement for the words of a few, we should ask ourselves whether we would also condemn the entire Republican Party for the racist words of its presumptive nominee."

The lunatics took over the asylum when they elected a qualification-less President mostly because of the color of his skin. I have been ducking my head ever since.

My VERY sharp 85 yr old blind Italian mother claims all this craziness stems from the space program 'messing up our equilibrium'!!!

ALCON,
None of us matter, objectively. "No one" means all homo sapiens, humans, people, etc. Call out stupidity with tact and patience instead of anger to ensure everyone knows who the fool is in a argument.

I live in Texas let me drop you a few hints from Texas history and you can be the judge. The biggest problem area in Texas for racism is East Texas, East of a line if you were to draw it from Dallas down to Houston, maybe a little West over the line in places. Just by coincidence that is where most of the large cotton plantations were. By another coincidence thats where the primary support for slavery came from during the great debate of which side Texas would pick in the Civil War. In Texas you have two confederate flags to choose from. You have the largely non-confrontational Confederate States of America flag (Stars and Bars). Or you have the hugely confrontational Confederate Battle Flag, a flag by the way in which General Lee ordered cased to never fly again at the end of the Civil War. Now if you really were concerned about heritage instead of hate which flag would you pick? So this White Lives Matter group appears in Houston Texas, primarily made up of folks from East Texas, and they are waving the Confderate Battle Flag around (open defiance of General Lees last orders as a General). You decide what they are. I have a pretty good idea in my head as I do not believe in a daisy chain of coincidences.

The CBF is not racist by itself it is the symbol of that flag in which massacres were conducted, people hanged in it's precence, and after the Civil War when white supremacists attempted the Lost Cause movement it came back to be used as a banner for white supramicist groups. The rough analogy is the former German World War I flag, which they tried to use for their Merchant Marine......it was OK to be flown or displayed in the 1980's but because of adoption by Neo-Nazi groups as a symbol is now largely banned in Germany. We will never ban the CBF in the United States because of the First Amendment but folks should really use their common sense about displaying it.
Here is an image of the German flag only rarely seen during Nazi times but originated in World War I. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41w2DIG2AVL._AC_US174_.jpg

Finally someone who uses actual history to explain the situation at hand. No, not a coincidence. The battle flag of the army of northern Virginia is what people know, not the first national. I can appreciate heritage, however, it's been bastardized by those who want to perpetuate hate.

Context always matters. Nice history lesson. Prior to its adoption by Nazi Germany, the swastika had many meanings. At least in Europe and North America, no one would fly a Swastika flag and claim it's about "heritage". Some examples below. The symbol of the US Army 45th Infantry Division prior to the 1930's and the 1922 women's hockey team from Fernie, British Columbia.
I doubt many of the yahoo's running around flaying the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virgina could give much, if any, historical context.
