lufthansVice-mayor of Charlottesville says racist event wasn't due to removal of a statue. That was just an excuse used by a small group of racists. Decades of continued racism is what led to the event and the counter-protest.
Sand together and say racism is not tolerable.
In the US, you have the right to be a racist. The other 300 million of us have the right to tell you what we think of your racism and hold you socially accountable for your racism.
