Just like most Americans, I was utterly disgusted with what I witnessed happening in Charlottesville this weekend.

A nice, quiet college town in Virginia was ambushed by white supremacists' groups, Neo-Nazi groups, and former and current Klan members. The violence that occurred there this weekend is unspeakable and horrific. What happen to our country to make people think it is okay to act this way? During WWII, brave American men went to Germany to fight the idea of Nazism. Now there are Americans who embrace it. Their excuse for the rally was to "preserve confederate monuments." Where is our leader to condemn the actions of these groups and make sure that all Americans feel safe enough to walk their city streets?

Our pathetic excuse for a president gave a vague condemnation on twitter, his preferred choice of non-direct communication. Later he gave another vague condemnation, without singling out the hate groups. In which he also made sure he wasn't to blame for these acts. In reality, he is one of the people to blame. During Obama's presidency, Trump was the one who was pushing the 'birther' movement. Goading President Obama into releasing his birth certificate, because in Trump's mind there was no way Obama could have been born in America. This racists act is what got Trump started on his way to the White House. Two days later from Trump's first condemnation, and after other Republican leaders condemned them, Trump finally gave a condemnation of the hate groups. But it was too little too late. During the time it took him to give this statement, three CEO's bailed on his manufacturing panel. Trump gave a stronger condemnation to all of them than he gave to the Nazi's that were in Charlottesville. Why is this guy so quick to oppose celebrities, CEO's, SNL, democrats, his own party, and many more, before he can condemn the acts of terrorism?

Let's remember that Trump's past racist history and remarks are something that could help us answer this question. His father, Fred Trump, was arrested 90 years ago because he failed to dispersed during a Klan rally in Queens, NY. Trump and his father also denied black families to live in their apartment buildings. Do I need to bring up the "birther" movement again? Of course there was also how he started his campaign, when he called Mexicans rapists and drug carriers. He said that a judge would be unfair in his Trump University fraud case because the judge "was of Mexican heritage." He called for a "complete and total shutdown of Muslims from entering the U.S." He hired Steve Bannon as his chief advisor. Bannon owns BrietBart magazine which is continually pushing racist, alt-right, KKK material. David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the KKK, was at the rally and said "we are here to fulfill the promises made by Donald Trump. It's why we voted for him." Do I really need to go on? And people are still surprised that he didn't condemn what these hate groups did in Charlottesville? No I'm not surprised. I'm disgusted that people thought Trump was going to be better than a woman who had pretty much prepared for being president her entire life.

There are many victims from the attacks in Charlottesville.

I want to focus on Heather Heyer. The young woman who was tragically run down by one of these skinheads. The man is in jail and is being held without bond. We all need to remember Heather even if we had no idea who she was until this weekend. Unfortunately, most of us all know a Heather. What I mean by that is we all know someone who was killed or someone who died doing the right thing. Heather was standing up for what she knew was right. We all need to be Heathers to end this madness and hostility. Resist.
