However, the white nationalist said KTVN-TV, that he was not a racist and did not expect to receive such a reaction from the public. “I didn’t expect the photo to be reposted so often. I understand that the photo has a very negative connotation,” Cvetanovic said. “But I hope people are willing to listen that I’m not the angry racist they see in this photo.”

Tsvetanovich, who went to Charlottesville to express his disapproval of the removal of the statue, also defended his white convictions.

“As a white nationalist, I care about all people. We all deserve a future for our children and for our culture,” he told KTVN. “We just want to preserve what we have.”
