In the wake of the Charleston Massacre, the major of the city, John Riley, and Obama had a lengthy conversation over how to overcome such events, including the possible disclosure of members and supported of hate-filled groups such as the KKK and other White supremacist organizations. Dylan Roof, the Charleston massacre killer who has been charged with nine counts of murder, was said to have aligned himself with White supremacist hate groups online who often dissipate false information about race in the United States and around the world. And indeed it was quite possibly such information that fueled the fire Roof’s hatred towards Black people.
Riley and Obama discussed the possibility of hate groups having to reveal their members to the public, as well as finding ways to monitor the activities and information spread of hate-filled groups online. While there will be those who cry, “What about the First Amendment?” With regard to the former possible measure especially, if you wish to be part of a White supremacist hate group, the government is not going to stop you. It just wants everyone else to have the right to know that you are part of said group. Whether private groups have a right to privacy of their members will probably be up for debate, and rightly so. But hey, if you truly believe in your ideals and values, then why hide them? Take off the hoods and fake online names, and let’s see you for who and what you really are.

3. KKK supporters are to be protected..free speech...but ISIS supporters must be arrested?

Does not compute. Obama understands the math does not add up regarding domestic terrorists versus foreign terrorists.

One terrorist group is just so much scarier than another. One has yet to singe the hair of an American not yet already in captivity, one is already in America killing folks for decades and still wanting them killed.

On second thought, maybe I just do not get it.

4. Where's the due process?

Sex criminals must be tried and convicted before they are put into the registry.

Convicting people of being "racist" without a trial seems as un-American as HUAC.

5. This is about the fourth time this has been put on DU.

And it is false. You notice there are no quotes from Obama and no sources at the link. This has been to the Supreme Court and ruled illegal (Albertson v. Subversive Activities Control Board 1965). Obama would know this.
