Prople died and the President refused to condem literal Nazis. That makes it newsworthy.

Prople died!?   But he was in such good health the last time I saw him.

'I'm not the angry racist they see': Alt-Righter became viral face of hate in Virginia — and now regrets it



A white nationalist who attends the University of Nevada, Reno says that he is not the "angry racist" that is portrayed in a viral photo of him carrying a torch at a white nationalist protest rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Peter Cvjetanovic, 20, told KTVN that he traveled from Reno to Charlottesville to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

The student said that he wanted to attend the rally to support the white nationalist movement.

"I came to this march for the message that white European culture has a right to be here just like every other culture," Cvjetanovic opined. "It is not perfect; there are flaws to it, of course. However I do believe that the replacement of the statue will be the slow replacement of white heritage within the United States and the people who fought and defended and built their homeland. Robert E Lee is a great example of that. He wasn't a perfect man, but I want to honor and respect what he stood for during his time."

Cvjetanovic said that he never expected the frightening photo of him to go viral.

"I did not expect the photo to be shared as much as it was," he noted. "I understand the photo has a very negative connotation. But I hope that the people sharing the photo are willing to listen that I'm not the angry racist they see in that photo."

Cvjetanovic added: "As a white nationalist, I care for all people. We all deserve a future for our children and for our culture. White nationalists aren't all hateful; we just want to preserve what we have."

Doesn't Cvjetanovic know that Slavs are untermenschen?

Maybe he's an honorary white, and that's why he isn't angry?

I have it on good authority that slavs are considered white.

German minister says too many people are speaking English in Berlin

A popular German politician says too many people are speaking English in everyday life in the country.

Jens Spahn, who some people think could replace current Chancellor Angela Merkel, is the junior finance minister.

"It drives me up the wall the way waiters in Berlin restaurants only speak English," he told a German newspaper.

He says Germans are too relaxed on the issue and that it would never happen in Paris.

Mr Spahn thinks "co-existence can only work in Germany if we all speak German" and wants all immigrants to learn the language.

Areas in Berlin like Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg are home to lots of American expats and they have restaurants and bars with staff recruited from across Europe.

That means it's not unusual to find English menus and waiters with limited German.

Speaking English is also seen as an important skill in Germany, with most children learning it as soon as they start primary school.

But the German language is increasingly turning into a political issue with a perceived threat from immigration.

The government in Germany has made it compulsory for asylum seekers to learn German and those who don't can lose their benefits and right to live there permanently.

The rule doesn't apply to EU residents though, with many people coming to Germany to look for work.

The EU has also warned that English could be dropped as an official language after Brexit as it is "losing importance".

That's according to the leader of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, who is responsible for the day to day running of the EU and bringing in new laws.

Last week, three German MPs wrote a letter to chancellor Angela Merkel and EU officials to demand that English is used less often and German more regularly.

In a letter to Mrs Merkel the three wrote: "In addition to the equal use of the German language as a working language in the bodies of the European Union and increased use in all international institutions, the German language especially needs to be thoroughly used in our own country."

England isn't what made English important, it's the us, so I don't understand that comment.

Strange. But yeah, I like Berlin. And it is easy to get by with English.
