Have there been riots at San Francisco Pride with angry Black people? What's race relations like in the LGBTQ community in the bay area?

In order to have a strong opinion on an issue or a group you must try to bring facts to the table.

But what other conclusion is there to draw? BLM has had protests in front of cops. Why would they be upset at increased police presence here?

Well, here's my thought. Being there won't get nearly as much press coverage as saying they won't be there because of the increased police presence.

They've created disruption everywhere they've gone - so it isn't a stretch to assume they were planning on doing the same there, but figured out they wouldn't get away with it with the additional police involved.

What's the point of going if they cannot disrupt the event?

Poor BLM folks. Entitlement, reparations, etc..., cards must not have worked.

Is that all it took? There may be a lesson there.
