None, of any, you and I know this.
Which is what I said when we chatted online. Unfriending people is your choice, of course.[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 01-07-2021).]

And video showing the Trumps and others in the White House, loud music playing, live streaming online during yesterday's riots, celebrating the actions of the sheep that follow Trump. It was incited by the President in his actions. Are you not hearing the dog whistles, or are you looking past them?

While I have no issues condemning the rioters that breached the capitol and sincerely do hope that they are prosecuted, I also recognize that not all protestors were rioting.
I didn't condemn all those that protested with BLM nor will I condemn all that attended this protest. Those that committed crimes should be prosecuted.

Today, people on Pennock's Fiero Forum, the same people who earlier this year decried the Black Lives Matter movement as having no legitimate cause and are just a bunch of rioters/looters/hooligans, are justifying the actions of seditionists and traitors who attacked the halls of our democracy...

I never condoned anything, though I am not against protesting as a whole.
One plus I give them, some misguided individuals or not, and whatever the actual facts are in the end (if we ever know)... is taking the protest to the leaders instead of other citizens businesses and highways.

And when the leaders don't listen because they don't see a problem?

I doubt they will burn down their fellow citizens businesses and threaten passers by they don't even know on roadways, but I can't see the future. [This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 01-07-2021).]

The point you and numerous others are missing is that this isn't four years of "Drain the swamp" and all that bullshit that leads to people who are disgruntled for perceived wrongs by a leadership that doesn't care.
This is systemic, centuries long repression of a race of people who are treated as less than by a leadership that doesn't care. Again I ask you: When the leadership doesn't listen, what's left? Shrug and go home? Give up? Just say "Oh well."
You are speaking from the perspective of white privilege, and you have absolutely zero understanding of the trials and tribulations that people of color have faced. I speak from the perspective of white privilege as well, but I have personally seen the damage caused by the devaluation of black and brown people, have lost people I loved that happened to be black to police violence. I can not fully see things from the perspective of people of color, but I have lived in the shadow of their struggles in my life. I choose to use the voice that my white privilege grants me to speak up for those who do not enjoy white privilege.
I do not condone the riots that happened with BLM, but to negate the entire movement by summarizing it as "they burned down their fellow citizens businesses", you are lumping all of them together in direct contradiction to the way you are separating yesterday's rioters from yesterday's protestors. It is hypocrisy, Jason. You are better than that.[This message has been edited by Synthesis (edited 01-07-2021).]
