How is this any worse than an electoral college where forty nine percent of the people take away the rights of the other fifty one percent?Quote:

I don't seem to remember hearing much about this when BO was president.
Because it's the white (right) 9% taking rights away from the people.Quote:

first, why was this called a white supremacist parade?Quote:
But the marchers were met by even more left-wing counter protesters, numbering more than 1,000, turning the event into competing demonstrations. The entire length of the parade's route was flanked with fencing, but the demonstrators followed alongside the whole way en route to City Hall.
Protesters, including many who identified with the anti-fascist group antifa, shouted "Nazi scum!" Some greeted the straight-pride marchers with their middle fingers and yelled expletives. Many LGBTQ advocates protested as well. Other people just stopped to see what was going on.
"Boston doesn't want you!" one man yelled. "We outnumber you!"
A massive contingent of police, including extra officers from neighboring cites, was present throughout, often getting in between the competing sides. They wore helmets, held gas masks and some had military garb. The police presence was so large, and fencing so vast, that many marchers struggled to make their way inside the plaza outside City Hall for the rally that followed the one-hour parade that stetched one mile.
Some counter protesters confronted police, who at one point appeared to use pepper spray on a group of anti-parade demonstrators.
Thirty-six people were arrested for a range of different charges, according to Boston police Sargent Detective John Boyle. He said four officers sustained injuries that were not life-threatening.
straight pride should be equal to gay pride.
if people should not be protesting gay pride, then equality should mean people should not be protesting straight pride.
this is a list of people arrested and why..

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Promotes Fundraiser For Boston Protesters Associated With Antifa
Quote:
Reports from the USA Today and the Herald indicate that many counter-protesters identified with Antifa, a far-left group that embraces violence to achieve political goals.
One member of Antifa told the Herald, “We’re covered in black so when we attack these guys we can’t be prosecuted.”
“They are fascists, 100%. How else are you going to get them to shut up?” he was quoted as saying.
The “Straight Pride Parade,” which took place in Boston Saturday, was planned by Super Happy Fun America, a group which “advocates on behalf of the straight community.”
Though the New York congresswoman refers to the protesters as “white supremacists,” Super Happy Fun America denied having connections to racism in a statement issued to The Daily Caller.
“Not sure which parade and ceremony she watched over the weekend, but of the 12 speakers on our stage, five were African-American, four were women, and three were African-American women. This was not intentional on our behalf, they reached out to us in support of our movement–it happened organically. If you remove the three main organizers from the lineup, the majority of speakers were African-American.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley also shared a link to a bail fundraiser set up in advance of the parade, which gives people the impression that they condone illegal behavior. This is not a good example for elected officials to set, and contributes to dangers associated with free-speech and activism in general.
The only connections to racism are in the deluded minds of protesters who all repeat the same mantra against those whom they disagree with: Racist, Fascist, Nazi, etc., are what detractors fall back on when their arguments are met with logical and rational push-back. They cannot win on an intellectual level, so they resort to name-calling. Those same people must have missed the Israeli flags and African-American supporters in our group.”
The Caller reached out to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s office to ask why she is supporting individuals who openly planned violence and allegedly assaulted police officers, but received no comment.
Antifa groups across the United States have engaged in violence with many conservatives and journalists in general in recent years.
In 2018, an NBC News crew was attacked by Antifa members in Charlottesville, Virginia, and reporter Andy Ngo was hospitalized in June after being assaulted by Antifa in Portland, Oregon.
Last year, Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson’s home was subject to Antifa intimidation, as a mob formed outside of his home while his wife was inside alone.
Haha, it's clear what the intention of a "straight pride parade" isQuote:

this would be comparable to Black Lives Matter, where BLM does not mean white lives don't matter. having straight pride should not mean they are against gay pride.
this is why social media can be dangerous, any nut with a lot of followers post this nonsense.
super racist immigration policies. despite this issue with immigration being about illegal vs legal.
Is it really about illegal vs legal? Have you read about the Canadian citizens who are being denied entry to the US without any reason being given? Oddly turns out they are all Muslim. Or how Trumps policies virtually eliminating legal immigration for most of these people and aid that was actually working in curtailing illegal immigration has resulted in the huge surge in illegal immigration? He’s made his bed, you can try justifying it all you want but the policies Trump has put in place are certainly open to the interpretation of being racist.
Yeah they sold us the lie it was only about illegal immigration at the start, but now they are full on doing everything they can to stop and restrict legal immigration as well.Quote:
