The violent protests in Charlottesville, Va. hot take are many, but few will be more scorching than this:
White people, time for us to have serious conversations with our families. The nazis marching are our cousins, nephews, brothers, uncles…

They are? Oh wait, he’s not done yet…

For many of us, who grew up in predominantly white communities, we went to school with those nazis marching with torches. We know them.

He went on, but you get the point.
This is like equating all Muslims with terrorists. STOP. https://t.co/sZEmIJ4KPX

Apparently it’s OK to blame entire groups of people for the actions of a few provided it’s a certain group.
Don't fucking put me in the same group as these assholes. I had family members die fighting Nazis. https://t.co/sZEmIJ4KPX

No actually they're not. This is a really stupid statement. Try having a conversation with actual Americans outside of your own bubble Mike. https://t.co/EQSVbysf6J

No relation to Nazis — trust me.

It's so dumb. One side of my family fled Czechoslovakia & fought in WWII against the Nazis, the other side fought for Union in civil war.

a) Nothing you say can make me spend time in serious conversation with my relatives. b) Those aren't my relatives. https://t.co/QrxSQU4jWV

You might have a shitty Facist family but I don't….. Please don't speak for me https://t.co/AaKQFVfMiA

Back off. My skin color does NOT make me responsible for individuals who made their own stupid decisions.

Sounds like you have a messed up family. Probably shouldn't project that onto others. https://t.co/rYOsvcTFlf

Bullshit. These people are making their own decisions. Stop racebaiting.

Weird. I don't have a single family member there. https://t.co/86FsoSWzSW
