Woman Protects Trump Supporters From Crowd, Showing Us How To Combat Hate

[Stonepounder]

A woman demonstrated perfectly how best to tackle hate, as she helped supporters of President Donald Trump navigate through a crowd that was yelling and spitting at them during a rally in Boston Saturday.

The woman, a 19-year-old named Imani from Connecticut, told the Boston Globe she couldn’t think of a better way to counter much of the hate that’s bubbled to the surface in America than helping people with whom she disagreed.

“You know, I don’t believe in this right-wing narrative of the alt-left and how we are crazed and looking to get nonviolent,” she told the Globe. “What better way to show them they are wrong?”

Imani, who is black, told the Globe she didn’t think white supremacists would give her the same kind of help she gave on Saturday, but that didn’t matter. “I couldn’t get through a KKK rally with the same treatment,” she said. “But we shouldn’t be like them.”

This is how you do it!
This is who we are!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

1. Very moving.

There's a brave and kind woman.

[logosoco]

2. A very strong, smart and loving young woman! She rocks! nt

[stuffmatters]

3. THIS is the story that should be on the national & local news tonight

[pat_k]

4. and, even better...

...turn their hateful rallies into extremely visible fund raisers for anti-hate cause, as in the town of Wunsiedel.

I love how confused they look the first year Wunsiedel did this:

5. Dayum!

She's a far better person than I think I could be, toward these people. There are angels among us. All I can do is hope I'm worthy to stand near them.

[fierywoman]

6. "... then we take the high road..."

[Squinch]

7. She's my new hero.

[shenmue]

8. Yeah

[Bladewire]

9. This image is the difference..

When the alt-right is the majority at a rally





I'd choose being minority alt right and being bood & spit on in Boston than being minority left being beaten with pipes and murdered in Charlottesville

When the alt right is the majority people are murdered and beaten.

[scarletwoman]

10. "...we shouldn't be like them." Exactly. (nt)

[BadgerMom]

11. K and R

You are wise and brave beyond your years, Imani. Blessings.

[Maxheader]

12. I suppose its the

right thing to do. But its hard for me, doubting
the right would do this for the liberals.

[The Mouth]

14. That is why we are better than they are.

[calimary]

18. Welcome to DU, Maxheader.

Yeah, I know how you feel. It's hard to imagine one of these young toughs would stop long enough to find his humanity. One could certainly hope so. At least we know that lovely Imani is out there somewhere.

[zentrum]

13. Who we are!

[Demonaut]

15. alt-left????

wtf

[xor]

22. wondering the same thing.

[SCantiGOP]

16. Nobody has yet to come up with

a better blueprint for resistance and change than the Ghandi, King, Mandela model.

[Juliusseizure]

17. I vomit a little but it's brilliant

That's the only possible (w/low probability) way to effect them internally. I don't think many know minorities on a personal level especially the younger ones.

[FrodosNewPet]

19. We'll never defeat them by out-hating them.

They are always going to win that contest.

[Martin Eden]

20. Only Love can Conquer Hate

That, and being on the right side of history and human decency.

[xor]

21. I appreciate this line of thought and action.

Also, is this "alt-left" term becoming an actual thing? The only reason why I use the term alt-right is because they title themselves as such, and they are a fairly clearly define group. I also avoid labeling everyone who is more conservative than me as alt-right as some people have started doing.

What exactly is alt-left supposed to be? Up until the last week I've never heard anyone call themselves alt-left. Maybe I read her comment wrong and she isn't saying she's "alt-left", but just commenting on their usage of it while pushing the violent left narrative.

23. Do we know who was spitting on them?

Kudos to her for doing what she did, but why did they need to be protected?
