On Saturday, 32-year-old Heather Heyer was killed after authorities say a white nationalist slammed his car into a group of protesters rallying to combat hate.

There’s Nothing ‘Fringe’ About These White People
The comforts in considering the white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va., to be fringe are obvious.

TrumpPets Are the White Hoteps
You’ve seen them before. Maybe you dated one because you liked the way he called you “king” or “queen,” before he chastised you for wearing your skirt too short, putting lye in your hair or—and, no, I’m not kidding about this—getting so far away from your African roots that your body does unnatural, Eurocentric things…
