Are we going to have selective amnesia?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fact-check-blm-p...

I am glad those men and locked arms. Who was BLM protecting that cop from?  Who was rioting and murdering police officers last summer? Who was ambushing and murdering police officers last summer.

Should we pretend that one of these groups of violent protestors is not as bad as the other?

Yes a lot of the protests last summer were peaceful, very many were not.

We must condemn what happened at our capitol and we must condemn the riots that took place all summer. violence and destruction will not make this country a better place for anyone. And we have to stop the one sided media coverage from all of our media, none of them are doing this county a good service.

    It is so sad to see some people still defending the violence, arson looting  and murder from last summer while condemning what happened in Washington... Both are wrong wrong, wrong wrong. And for the media to pretend no one was murdered during last years riots and that BLM only protected police officers is a freaking lie beyond belief.

    Both groups have lost their minds with hate and anyone who creates violence, or arson and destruction in either situation should go to prison,. whether its white supremacist's or BLM rioters there is ZERO excuse for any of it.

    No one alive today owned slaves, nor their parents nor their grand parents, and no one alive today in this country was ever a slave nor their parents, or their grandparents. 

    There are very many POC in this country who are very successful and there are very many "white" people who are homeless and have nothing..  The entire conversation about this is pure horse feces. And while a few call folks with Asian descent victims also, its strange because those with Asian heritage, on average, are the richest people in this country. And I say good for them. If you work hard and you are smart you will be successful in the USA no matter who you are or what part of the world your ancestors are from.

    1 year ago 90% of America didn't even know there was a word called systemic, now everyone is an expert on it  and a victim of it. Its a joke and I am sick of people who manipulate others and teach them to hate other people so they can enrich themselves and create power for themselves. 

    Far right or Far left, neither side deserves an ounce of respect from any decent human being.

    I beg to differ. Things are not the way their are only through peaceful means.

    I just keep wondering what are they teaching now a days.......

    Like I AM in the twilight zone.....🤔

    American HISTORY is filled with violent acts that brought closure, finality, change, supremacy....

    Black Americans have been waiting hundreds of years to be treated like everyone else. I will never condemn the protests for Black equality. I do however denounce the few anarchists, communists, and white supremacists who were not fighting for the same thing. However, I will not let it be used to further deny Black people equality under the law and society, nor will I say it was equivalent to the terrorist insurrection committed on our nation's capital.
