Brother Elijah,
Racism did not cause all this rioting. Anarchists and self-righteous spoiled brats did. They could have protested without destruction, but they lost that opportunity. I hope that they too are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Governor Walz, Mayor Frey (Minneapolis), and Mayor Carter (St Paul) all agree that 80% of the agitators are not from Minnesotans. Mayor Carter said that 100% of all people arrested in his city are from out of state. All agreed that some of these suspects are associated with hate filled white supremacists who are there to foment racial trouble, not to protest injustices. All three made speeches today that are available on you tube.
AG Barr said it was a Federal crime to cross state lines to participate or instigate riots.
I'm thinkin' Antifa and Black-Lives-Matter is more responsible for these particular episodes of violence than white supremacists, Left- Wing and CNN narrative notwithstanding. I saw no skinheads, swastikas etc in the crowds. I saw no-counter protestors.and I watched the coverage for several nights straight on both Fox and CNN. The footage of
looters I saw were overwhelmingly NOT white. The whites I saw rioting with blacks looked like young spoiled-brat college students, or masked Antifa types, not skinheads or neo-nazis. Antifa are anarchists, so it is their m.o. to destroy the structures of society. In short, the rioters are parasites who contribute nothing constructive to society, they only know how destroy.
Now having said this, yes, actual white supremacists are evil too, but these most recent events, I see no evidence of their involvement. Only unsupported speculation by some mayors and guest pundits on CNN who make unchallenged charges and are met with nods of approval by the CNN hosts.
Yes, racism is still a problem in society. But not nearly as bad as it was in the sixties and earlier. CNN attempts to keep racial resentments alive by inflaming every episode, whether justified or not. CNN makes it seem that racism is prevalent by failing to provide perspective. Yes, there is police brutality, but whites are often the victims of that as well as blacks. But the episodes of white victimization by police go unreported. CNN gives no perspective, only inflammatory rhetoric and biased reporting. And I am amazed that even after their world headquarters in Atlanta was breached by these thugs and radicals (white and black), they continue with their lack of condemnation for anarchy. People can condemn both racism AND anarchy, some do, but CNN seems unwilling or unable to do so consistently and explicitly. I saw very few mentions on CNN the last few nights on how rioting ultimately destroys these black neighborhoods, and perpetuates poverty.
Episodes of racist police episodes are extremely rare, and not nearly as common as CNN and other Left-wing institutions and politicians would have us believe. They do happen, but cops are not out to get blacks, the vast majority of them are not anyway. That perspective should be kept in mind. Because CNN does not provide it. Instead, people on CNN state that violence is the voice of frustration from people who don't think their voice is being heard. Tacit approval and defense of the indefensible. CNN is part of the problem. To the Left, conservative speech is "violence" that must be shouted down, censored and silenced, but rioting and looting is "speech". Twisted.
Yes, actual, real racism should be addressed. But CNN is pretty much ignoring the even greater problem of destructive anarchy in this country. Who is going to pay for the havoc they wreak? How many businesses are going to rebuild, and re-invest in these communities that parasitic anarchists (black and white) have destroyed? Do you think Target will be rebuilding in that section of Minneapolis? I doubt it.
