Family of humanity

Wed., Sept. 6, 2017

All of the alt-right hate groups, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, skinheads, neo-confederates and white supremacists, have something significant in common besides fomenting hatred, sedition and violence. Low I.Q.

I find it to be ironic that these neo-Nazis and associated bigots enjoy the freedom to legally assemble, congregate and march through the streets of America to espouse their ignorance and lack of basic intelligence and humanity, only because Americans fought and died destroying and defeating Hitler and the Nazis in Europe 72 years ago.

This fact, most likely, escapes the exemplary, adolescent braintrust of all these lowbrow hater organizations.

News flash! We are all earthlings. One and all. We are the family of humanity on this planet. Duh!
