The people on the ground seem to know how to see it that way. I remember when 2nd amendment proponents were protesting in Virginia, armed black panthers showed up and were welcomed with open arms as fellow Americans by the gun toting rednecks.

Where was that? Watching the local news during that time I don't ever remember black panthers or any other distinctive group joining the protesters.

Well but these Nazi Fascist Socialists Leftists want to destroy all of the rights of US citizens and control who goes where and when, who can leave the house, what you can say or do if you are "allowed" to leave the house, who can vote (only illegals), who gets guns and cars (only them), take all property, and who gets food.

Are you allowed to open carry in NC? Sure. But you are not allowed to open carry while protesting. Are these guys protesting? Probably. Why do you need large weapons while walking around in one of the best downtowns in the country?

They are only here to spew their anti-government rhetoric and white supremacy. And if you look at the twitter feeds, you'll see a buy holding a 4 ft wrench at a black family. Ridiculous.

Hey, fellow liberal here. Can we please stop using the term “white privilege?” It is a totally ridiculous term meant to divide, not unite. You do realize that, according to the theory, every single white no matter how open-minded suffers from “white privilege” not merely ridiculously over-armed rednecks.

That picture advertises that the idiot carrying the rocket launcher... His family tree is all trunk and no branches.

Note I am NOT saying protesting the lockdown is bad. Pure 1st amendment and carry on.

I AM saying that the need to carry a rocket launcher shows that his parents might just be siblings.

"white privilege" What in the hell has this to do with white privilege?

If a black man should walk into a liquor store is that "black" privilege?

Only RACISTS see racism in EVERYTHING!

Are all these black men showing "black" privilege?

What’s the point of carrying an empty rocket launcher to order a subway sandwich?

Besides getting attention or trying to go viral?

I have a young niece who’s really fired up over “white privilege” right now. She has a daily fit on social media over instances of “white privilege”. I gave her a challenge:

Go visit the South Side of Chicago, or East St. Louis. Or actually leave the country, and go visit a favela in Sao Paolo. Or a hutong in Beijing. I asked her to come back and let me know how her white privilege worked out for her outside the comfy confines of her middle class predominately white American city.

So far she has not taken me up on my offer.
