Riots broke out because a white supremacist saw a protest and took the opportunity to break windows and start s***. When cops pulled a man out of his car, put him in a cop car, pulled him out again. Then killed him in the street. Not even with a overdose of drugs like a lethal injection - but the training cop did it with his knee while his new trainees watched.
There are examples of white people starting stuff. And while I agree that many of them are white supremacists, like Pantyfa, I do not think that is what you mean when you use the term.
However, we can not pretend that there is not a lot of rioting that has been done by non white people, or that the media did not lie about this to further their racially divisive narrative.
Watching the body cam footage of the George Kirby, sorry George Taylor, sorry, Floyd Taylor incident (to quote Schumer and Pelosi's names for the guy about whom they give less than no s***s at all), gives a different perspective on the whole thing. His death was heinous, it was wrong, and Chauvin should still get jail time, but it does not support the racism claim made by the media (which is a common theme when it comes to these clowns. They say white people were being racist when people were lying (hands up don't shoot, The Convington kids, Juicy Smollet etc., etc), and the truth is that race should be irrelevant and probably would be if the media did not keep lying and race baiting to serve the interests of a group that knows divide and conquer works in their interests).
@DiscordTiger Said Oh and that guy, did his time, but tried to buy something with a bad twenty — so he left. He didn’t steal anything.
Which is a thing I have said repeatedly. His death was wrong.
The only point here is that the media are mostly Democrat supporting race baiters and they look for a particular set of circumstances surrounding certain types of people - usually black people who have committed crimes, to use to create a narrative that divides people. Imagine the outcry if Tony Timpa or Cannon Hinnant were black.
They aren't though, so you get crickets.
@DiscordTiger Said The DNC does not believe that. That is what thee majority of the right wing leading outlets are spewing because it fits their narrative.
The DNC has many members who speak of things like "white privilege" even though Asians have more of it than white people. They used to talk about how fathers mattered too, but not so much any more.
@DiscordTiger Said It’s a complicated issue. Democrats are not all bad the same way republicans are all bad. Anyone making that extreme argument is selling bulls***.
I hope that that is a typo in there and you are not actually saying all Republicans are bad people (I have to check because you really can't tell these days). Too many people are so insane that believing insane things is now the norm, and nuance is called evil.
There are many (if not mostly) pieces of crap floating at the top of the DNC and GOP from what I can tell (which is true of most political parties in the US, UK and Aus), but as someone who often speaks to a member of the GOP who has ran for office and will be running again, I can say for certain that not all people in the GOP are bad people. Most of them, like many people who are in or who support the DNC, are just people.
Even Jen and I who are as far apart as it is possible to be politically can, on those rare moments I bother to reach out, find many points of agreement if we look because for the most part people of any political ideology want similar things. The difference appears to be that I can see that, whereas a lot of people on the "social justice" left can't.
Most of us want peace, security, a chance for ourselves and others to succeed, a society that is fair and just etc., etc. The problem arises I think, when people believe, despite decades of evidence to the contrary, that one particular political party also wants that and the other doesn't, when the truth is that few if any of those at the top want these things for us.
