It seems a bit unfortunate that this is being labeled as a 'neo nazi rally' rather than a demonstration concerning alleged inequalities in the application of hate crime laws.

Blacks and whites (and all other races too) share this earth, share this country, and share this community. Instead of focusing only on defending the rights of one race, I think that individuals of all races need to come together to make a statement against violence in our community. What happens when you focus only on stopping the hate in one direction is that it tends to promote hate in the other direction. This can create more issues and increased racial tension.

There is only one race and that is the human race. It is sad what happens within it.
If we all followed the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, this country would be better off.

To all of us: This land is your land, this land is my land, from California to the New York Island, from the redwood forests to the gulf stream waters, this land is made for you and me. .....Arlo Guthre. Peace

Yes it would be great if we lived in a perfect world...but would you turn your head if you or your relative was hospitalized in the state fair event. Case in point having a bike cable repeatedly smashed in your face which cracked your check bone (was not in media). Your motorcycle pushed to the ground and five black people jump on you and beat the living hell out of you (was not in media). Etc., etc. etc. Land of the free, police protection during this event NO. Where were all the arrests? Remember this is not an isolated case....remember Mayfair mall, July 3 luding at gas station. When will it stop, when will arrests be made rather than hand slaps.

I know for a fact that although this rally has been organized by a white group that there are in fact many other residents of this nation planning to be there in support of the general message that we are all equal and that we as a people expect our local governments to make sure that all of our laws are enforced equally for all crimes. I do not believe that is to much to ask. Assualt is assault and murder murder but our nation has begun enforcing thought crimes which claim hate as part of the crime for some people yet when these young people are caught and readily admit that white people were the target there is no enhancer. We as a nation of equals only now ask why that is

Hi all, great discussion. I am a bit confused though. I thought at least one of the teenagers arrested for the State Fair Park incident is facing an hate crime enhancer.

Brendan

He is not yet charged with the enhancer. The DA is "considering" it. We all know how that works

@Mr. Greenfield: Please shut-up! This is not a jewish issue. Let's face it, if ANY white group gathered to express outrage at this black-on-white violence, the whites would be called "Nazis" or "racists".

Next time, people can solve this racist assault with a baseball-bat shampoo! Just get out of the way.

Let's all consider one thing...what would be going on if this would have been white-on-black? Would that hate crime enhancer be easier to apply? I'm familiar with black-on-black crime and now black-on-white crime. How many times are we hearing about white-on-black crime? The National Socialist Movement is about whites having pride about being white - sticking up for ourselves instead of the constant fear of being labeled racists when we don't agree with what's going on in the black community. I am not a racist - I do not hate anyone strictly due to skin color, but I do hate people when they act stupidly and savagely, ruining life for others.

The fact is , that these attacks are becoming common place see the Iowa state fair on you tube. That the Union Organizers held a rally just before and now try to cover this up with more anti walker acting out, totally discredits them.
