Is it about racism?

Question

Today, 1/10/20 we see on news feeds around the internet and in opinion pages that the fools who stormed into the capitol building and became traitors in the process did so only about racism, even the Speaker of the House said so.

Before going farther I need to state clearly Since the days of Jimmy Carter I have never once voted any thing but Democrat above the County level, and even then only for one County Councilman in the 80's who I knew to be a moderate.

Now I have no delusions about the fact there were likely racists in the mix of people in Washington on that day, but when you hear the words of most people in the middle, and on the right, you will hear mostly words against socialism and freedom of speech and anti PC conversations.  The left cannot defend their attack s on freedom and morality so they coin everything under the guise of racism and continue to dismantle everything our nation has created.

The left lies as often or more than Donald Trump, and the excusing of the violence, death and destruction that occurred during protests last summer make them as disgusting to me as Donald Trump.

Is everything about racism? No, and it never has been.

The left are always screaming about racism. All one has to do is disagree with them and they start calling you a racist. Those people are no more traitors than the people who burned down govt buildings across the nation and attacked federal buildings in cities. They are protesters. An American right protected by the 1st amendment.

@Kjelstad,

During the summer riots, and yes many of those actions were riots and they continue in places like Portland, innocent people have been murdered, hundreds have had their places of businesses burned to the ground and thousands left jobless because of it. People attacked and beaten in the street for the crime of being white.  Nowhere do I see the left calling for those people to be arrested.

The question was about whether or not the actions in the Capitol were all about race. I  even state that there were likely racists there. And in case you missed it the cops shot a white woman to death, I do not believe any one was shot during Trumps stupid move to force protestors of the street for his disgusting photo op. Everything is not about race.

White people run wild in the capital building while black people were tear gassed for the president's photo op in front of a church.

People are mad that black people were able to vote by mail. Not making innercity blacks wait in line for 6 hours to vote is fraud to them.

How the heck does one conclude racism from an unfair election that went the Democrats' way?

What the media is reporting or what they are doing is comparing the two demonstrations.  The racism comes because the terrorists were allowed to breach without much obstacles the grounds of the white house, and it is true and recognized that BLM would never have made it on the grounds.  They are asking why the capital police didn't act sooner and why there was not more police presence when the crowd got bigger.  Trump had been calling out his Proud boys and white supremacists for weeks before this happened.  Every time he got in front of a podium he incited his base to come to the capital on Jan 6th, why do you think he did that, it wasn't an invitation to a picnic.  Also the reason Trump is no longer on Twitter is because Twitter discovered other planned terrorist attacks scheduled for Jan 17 and inauguration day.  Trump announcing he won't be attending is looked at as a go ahead for his terrorists to keep attacking democracy.

Do you really think those crooks don't know this?
Just look at the videos shows at least 95% of PROTESTERS (crooks call the RIOTERS...) are men and women of middle age and above... (3 of the 4 died from medical condition0. Unarmed young woman former USAF veteran) was murdered by police). And None of the Antifa and BLM activists was arrested on site or wounded.
Those crooks rush installing Biden to avoid investigation of their election crimes.
