Absolutely, I have heard about these people, they just didn’t care for the statue or flag to be taken down. It doesn’t mean one is a white supremacist if they didn’t want these torn down. My understanding is that some of them may have been people of color. Do debate on this, it was in the news…Happened to run across this statement in a blog posting:
As an aside, I have personally interviewed several non-racists who attended the Charlottesville event, and I can confirm that the president was right. Many attendees were fooled by the generic promotional materials that didn’t reveal who organized it, unless you recognized the names of the speakers who are not household names. Some attendees didn’t care who organized it because they were free speech advocates, and absolutists. And the attendees I talked to disavowed all racism. None of them “marched with” the neo-Nazis with tiki torches. They showed up, police immediately herded them away from the trouble that had already started, and they went home when allowed by police. That’s it.
Not terrific evidence, but better than any we have so far.
