  2. It's actually just half racist in this particular case.

    During a protest in Dallas yesterday in support of George Floyd, some looters tried to break into a Ralph Lauren store, WTF were the brothers thinking? …lol…
     
  5. If you think about it, Hillary was Obama's hired thug!
     
  6. The protests are probably more about the lock downs and lost jobs coupled with financial ruin, while the stock market continues to make weird gains (as if on our misery).

    no I think it is you who is clueless. Again, was Obama calling rioters thugs, directed at black people? I don’t think all the fires started, looting, assaults, etc were done by African Americans, do you?

    thugs are not defined by skin colour, but are defined by what they do. Setting a fire is a criminal act, looting, stealing is a criminal act, vandalizing is a criminal act. To define thugs by ethnicity as a group or skin colour as a group is racist.

    Oh, WP. You've become nose blind. Just cuz he's non-ideological doesn't make the Donald less of a thug. He's a veritable crime boss!

    This was terrible police brutality. I hope something changes as a result, but I have a bad feeling that nothing will, and that the violence and racism will continue in the States.

    Its not like we didn't know it would end in looting ... Isn't that the real purpose of "protesting" in some areas? They killed a brother so we'll first burn down a precinct then smash some shop fronts so we can score maybe a couple of six packs ... maybe smash another for a TV. We'll show them honkies!

    A lot of folks doing the looting are probably opportunists there for the loot. Some of them, more disturbingly, are anarchists and possibly white supremacist (Minn. governor's report) opportunists there to cause havoc. To paint all the demonstrators with that brush simply muddies the waters.

    Not if you think about it. Only if you don't.

    Considering the African-Americans seem to be high risk of Covid-19, probably not.

    "We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror. But the royal terrorists, the terrorists by the grace of God and the law, are in practice brutal, disdainful, and mean, in theory cowardly, secretive, and deceitful, and in both respects disreputable." Karl Marx

    Royal Terrorist what the heck are they talking about ??

    Again and again and again and again and again over and over and over and over again.

    "protest our violence peacefully" What a joke.

    My guess is it's not a coincidence things are coming to a head at this moment.

    Facepalm

    It's white supremisists now who are looting fruit loops from Target to make the response seem more opportunistic than it is?

    Racism is not the problem its police terrorism that needs to stop.

    If your stove is on fire and you keep using your fire extinguisher on your toaster the fire won't go out.

    Every protest is about police behavior and that's it. That's what they want to change.

    They are not marching to end racism.

    Hard to put a finger on by how much of it is lockdown related though, as that kind of stuff is subconscious; angry at one thing and it manifests in another way; America it's race relations, Chile, Brazil and Italy it will be government corruption, France it will probably be immigration, Sth East Asia and Oceania it will be the Chinese Communist party ;)
