What's this?

I disagree basically with the characterization and the overreaction to

Trump's words about Charlottesville in the aftermath. I think that you are
picking up that the Statues and all the incredible bullshit that has arisen
from Mike Signer and Wes Bellamy's original illegal proclamation that Charlottesville City
Council would be taking down the two statues unilaterally is a very big
issue to me, as well. And is such a sensitive topic for so many that they
can not, whether consciously or sub-consciously, begin to discuss it
with any objectivity. Liberals broke a LOT of points of law in this process.
Unfortunately, that opened up this ridiculous trap door that allowed some
of the worst dregs of our Society to present themselves as some form of
credible advocate in all of this stuff. I know you are not racist and you know
that I am not racist. I enjoy the open discussion, actually.
