VOA常速英语:特朗普被指不重视白人至上主义的威胁趋势

From New Zealand to Pakistan to the United States, shock, mourning and a shared sense of vulnerability, there’s always that fear of you know are we going to, it’s something like that going to happen here in our community.
The alleged gunman in the New Zealand attack posted a hate-filled anti-immigrant manifesto, and is thought to have made a white nationalist hand gesture during a court appearance.
What was once unthinkable in New Zealand seems tragically familiar in America which has endured hate inspired mass shootings at a black church in South Carolina and a synagogue in Pennsylvania.
When you put hate and guns together, it’s not a good result. Once largely hidden from view, white nationalism has reemerged all to publicly in America on the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017 and in cyberspace to this day.

They believe white people of European descent are superior to non-whites, and there’s a rise in public expression of white supremacist beliefs. It’s come out of the shadows. This is an issue that also includes social media. Social media, now there are very very few barriers to entry and frankly standards for exit, and so it’s incumbent upon social media providers, internet service providers to do, to be vigilant when it comes to hate speech content.
President Donald Trump swiftly condemned the New Zealand attack. It’s a horrible horrible thing. I told the Prime Minister that the United States is with them all the way. One hundred percent whatever they need.
At the same time, the president downplayed white nationalism as a rising threat, and said he had not seen the shooter’s manifesto that reportedly praised Trump as quote, A symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose.

Trump drew fierce criticism for blaming both white supremacists and counter-demonstrators for violence in Charlottesville. He has also spoken disparagingly of and immigrants and their countries of origin.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Trump’s acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney declared, The president is not a white supremacist. He also addressed the New Zealand shooter’s writings. I don’t think it’s fair to cast this person as a supporter of Donald Trump. This was a disturbed individual, an evil person.
Amid the sorrow and heartbreak after the New Zealand attack, a suggested path forward from a youngster at a Michigan Islamic Institute. But I found out that vengeance isn’t the thing. Love is a thing. Goodness, kindness, everything that’s a complete opposite of hate.
