There are forces that want to paint all protesters as evil.
You're right. There are good people everywhere.

LOOK for the helpers. They're there.

Blacks, by their own actions, are the cause of racism. Skin color isn't the cause of racism, lifestyle is. Blacks have had 100 years to assimilate into society, many have and are extremely successful, as successful as any other color, but far too many refuse to make any attempt, it's easier to play the victim.
Too many black males consider it a badge of honer and a competition to see how many baby mamas they can knock up, creating fatherless kids, and too many black females will try anything to get knocked up in order to hold her man, which of course we know doesn't work.

The results, uneducated women with too many kids they can' support so the kids grow up in slum conditions, with no education and no hope. No education and no hope leads to drug abuse and gangs, which leads to prison or death.

Look at the number of blacks murdered by other black in the major cities every weekend. That is the result of growing up in the conditions mentioned above. The % of blacks that finish high school is far lower than any other race. People working jobs 40-60 hours a week and spending spare time with families in a positive manner don't have time to gang bang, do drugs, and murder each other.

If blacks truly wish for equality they have a long way to go to clean up their own back yards first, It can't all come from just one side.

Throwing money at the problem will do absolutely no good, it requires a change in life style from birth, it will require generations to make a difference. Just handing over money from guilt will only exacerbate the problem, not solve it..
You see plenty of black role models, athletics, entertainment stars, the people the black youth look up to for guidance, screaming for change, but you never hear any of them attacking the problems mentioned above. Why are they not telling those people to stop having kids you can't support and stay with one woman, raise your kids, be there for them, make sure they do their homework, take them to Little League, BE A FATHER...! There is a challenge for you...

R people now easily influenced by the MSM? People are not supposed to pack on streets during a pandemic! Why jeopardize the future health of literally everyone over something that is of course outrageous when it happens, but it already happened and occurrence is much much much less than 20-25k new infections/day?

People need to know what priority is

The issue of racism is complex and is in people’s minds rather than rules. Yes, protests can help solve brutality but not necessarily racism. Racism can be in many forms and it involves conversations to try to resolve rather than just by protests.

White House is encircled by a steel fence, guarded by Texas prison guards, and surrounded by thousands of citizens.

Perhaps the full moon prayers of the Wiccans for containment are working.

read the article below and multiply the economic impact of thousands and thousands of small business owners across the country whose livelihoods have been destroyed by uncontrolled violent riots in the last few days.

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - The Madison Central Business Improvement District recently conducted a survey for the 152 businesses on State Street.

100 bu
siness owners responded saying they were vandalized in some ways in the last few days from the unrest, ranging from graffiti to major damage to building structure.

Tiffany Kenney, the Executive Director for Madison Central BID, said the coronavirus pandemic and slow winter months are also part of these potential closures.

“That’s not just because of what’s happened recently,” said Kenney. “Although maybe that was a double whammy to them when their businesses got either looted or vandalized.”

42 businesses responded by saying they don’t think they will be reopening at all.

the rioters didn't just put 42 people out of business in Madison and thousands of other business owners out of business across the country. they put their employees on the street. they forced their suppliers to cut back. the cities will have less tax revenue. the people living in these destroyed neighborhoods will have fewer choices to shop. enablers of these riots and the rioters that recite ad nauseum "it's only property" don't have a clue....

“Now you have to go out of your way to get this stuff,” said activist Emir Lions. “People that don’t have a car. People that do not have family and friends.”

“Some seniors can’t travel,” added Calloway.

Instead, CBS 2 saw seniors taking buses, walking miles with only what their hands could carry. Calloway said neighborhoods without access to pharmacies or grocery stores could get worse if the city doesn’t find solutions soon.

No food.
Anyone could have told them what happens when "protestors" destroy their own neighborhoods. Let them live and learn. No food. No prescription meds. That's what they wanted. They got it.

Neither do the thousands of businesses nationwide, many minority-owned, that the "protestors" vandalized/looted/burned/destroyed. Yeah, but wipe out Americans' opportunities, life-time's work and investment, hopes, and dreams. Make damned sure you keep others down, and destroy all strivers. That'll show the police.
