Hall letter: Charlottesville

I’m perplexed by Raul Labrador’s term “black nationalism.” Who exactly is he referring to? Is it the NAACP? The Urban League? Black Lives Matter? The only black nationalists I’m aware of were the Black Panthers, and they don’t exist anymore. Mr. Labrador is either naive or callous in his equivalence. His full comments appear more like a campaign statement than an honest reaction to what happened in Charlottesville.
