This phenomenon that Originalist is living is a big part of why trump is going to be a formidable political foe for Clinton. trump appeals to the white male who feels politically and financially emasculated as the political landscape and financial opportunities for gain are becoming more available for a larger swath of Americans. Many white males feel threatened by this development.
It's like the company that outgrows it's founder and then they fire him because it is seen as the best thing to do for the health of the company.

I respect you brother, but I remind you of the commandment, "Thou Shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor". I simply do not sympathize with white nationalists. I believe in the dream of MLK. But I do, as do numerous conservative black commentators, believe that white people are being intentionally disenfranchised. Believing that does not make those black commentators guilty of sympathizing with wihite nationalists anymore than I am. Certain other posters on here have no class or character. But I know that you do. Thus I'm sure you will retract your negative remark about me.
Concerning my discussions of historical figures, you are again wrong. I am more fair in the distribution of accusations of racism to include those above the Masom/Dixon line rather than just accusing those south of it.

In no way do any of my comments of white nationalists contain sympathy by definition.
