After all that happened, did Obama tell the nut job to “stand down and stand by” with the lynching plan?
It’s one thing to give someone the benefit of the doubt and be wrong. It is another to explicitly condone their behavior after the fact.
(Also, I’ve never heard of the incident you’re talking about. Searching for the quote leads to some blogs, but no reputable sources. Are you sure the event happened?)
Obama didn't really say anything about it and neither did the media. I think that's sort of my point. I think racism in one direction is amplified and racism in another is ignored and I think that's extremely dangerous and probably leads to more racism.
and sources here but OP didn't post sources for "armies of white supremacist supporters and advisers" which is normally against HN guidelines but I guess those are ignored also. [1][2]
