So an old man in the villages yelled white power at a bunch of people yelling calling him a Nazi because he supports Trump (I'm going by reports)? Could it have been a simple returned antagonism?Trump tweets video with 'white power' chant, then deletes it

I don't disagree. Blacks at this point are creating their own problems. Trump tried to create "opportunity zones" where he would reward business people with starting a business there, but who would want to start a business in an area knowing that there is a strong possibility that within a few years it could be looted or burned down? Right now, I think it is on the black community to show they aren't the violent malcontents they are showing the nation right now.
Cool for you. What's it have to do with the president of the United States tweeting out..white power..
Let blacks start their own businesses in their neighborhoods again. No need for Walmart, Wendy's or WaWa to move in. Let the small black guy service these places and the problems may well disappear.
Who cares who might have done what. I didn't get to see the "offending" post. As such I'm giving Trump the benefit of the doubt that he tweeted out something he might not have heard clearly and may have been a bullshit retort by someone being called a NAZI. I find that equally offensive. Don't you? What if someone called you a Nazi for your political support of someone?
A lot of blacks won't invest in those neighborhoods either. Ferguson never got back on its feet after it was burned down. Business owners were too scared to reinvest in the area. I'm afraid that blacks are cutting off their own noses despite their collective face. It's not a race thing, it's a common sense thing. I wouldn't invest in an area where I could lose years of investment in my business in a night just because a black person died in another state.
Call them opportunity zones and don't give the money to the local Democrat pols to dish out.
Unfortunately I have to agree with you on this. Not that I think shouting "white power" is racist, especially since blacks have no compunctions about "black power" and "blacks lives". It's only natural that there is going to be blow back among whites.
The blame lies on local leaders. Not everyone is into guns. I won't have one in my house. That being said, it is a basic function of local government to supply protection to law abiding citizens, especially in a situation where they can be on the scene as the event is occurring. In Ferguson, as in many of these other leftist run areas, police have been ordered to back off and not do their jobs. I watched the coverage of Ferguson until 2 in the morning and local police there were ordered to form a perimeter and let the rioters and looters do their thing in that area. If they tried to leave the area, they were turned back.
What power should he have tweeted out about?
It doesn't as tho good decision making is his super power.Trump tweets video with 'white power' chant, then deletes it

I admit the optics on that aren't good. While the people yelling it may have only been responding to antagonists falsely yelling nazis towards them you know that left wingers will take any slip and remove context.....just like they did with the Charlottesville "good people on both sides" comment and purposely left out the followup comment of "and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally."Trump tweets video with 'white power' chant, then deletes it
