It's Not About "White Culture"

And it doesn't matter what the attendees or the organizers of the event claim they're doing if the reality is an ugly outpouring of vile racism.

If your event looks like a Klan rally in which white pointy hoods were replaced with tiki torches, it's no innocent cultural celebration. Period.

As a more general rule, if you have to work hard to tell others you aren't a racist -- you're probably a racist. And if you're marching behind the same flag as others who are spewing hate, your presence there is an endorsement of their hate, even if you aren't saying those things yourself.

Don't believe the lies of white nationalists who say they simply want to celebrate white culture. There's no way to march with KKK members and Nazi flags in a non-hateful way.
