This is a communist violent action. Its about communism. it is about burning down the house. This is what the left does. They are using tribalism (us against them) to create what communist always create. violence designed to destabilize.


don't put this at the feet of black people. Its the communists in the democrat party.
Confusing anarchism with communism?

Anarchism ideologies seek to destroy authority and have no use for government. People into this are not voting for anyone.

Communism is the government ownership of the means of production.

Neither narrative fits left or right.

Capitalism and socialism are blended together in many countries, including the US.

If it isn't only Black people who were involved in the rioting, why should only Black people bear the responsibility for the riots?

This isn’t thr fault of current white folks. But I think it needs to be acknowledged that you discriminate for generations it has an effect on generations that come after.
The Jewish people seem to be doing okay in society....

Except it didn’t go from slavery, to segregation, redlining which then led to poverty, then the war on drugs.
And uprooted meaning totally uprooted in the US for hundreds of years.

The Jewish people who came here, they came because they wanted to come here. They came by choice with the intent of making their lives better. The mentality is different. Black people didn't have any say in whether they wanted to come or not. In fact, Black people are the only race of people in the USA who were not even considered human for about 200+ years in this country. The Jews who came here enduring discrimination, but they were at least considered human beings. Black people came here by force, and only to be slaves. For that reason, they were considered property in America. It was a fight to be considered human beings, and then a fight to be treated like American citizens.

They are surely not making Obama proud....
Yes-

Because the liberal mayors have not countered the violence, they have only magnified the problem, as now black supremacists have had their violent behavior reinforced.

I don’t know how you can say that Jews “were at least considered human beings.” Tell that to my grandfather, who survived in the forests of Poland for 2 years because Jews were being hunted down and murdered for being “sub-human.” Or to my grandmother, whose own mother and sister were rounded up and sent to the gas chamber (we assume) because they were not viewed as human, either. You are downplaying the absolute horror of what happened to Jews, and within the memory of survivors and their children still living.

I'm sorry for what happened to members of your family. At the same time, that happened in Poland, not the USA. I'm talking about happened in America, and only America.

Thank you for your expression of sympathy.

As far as the rest, we could actually have a discussion about that, but it would derail that thread. That said, I’ve always appreciated that you and I have “spoken” respectfully with one another, so it might make for a good discussion in a new thread. I’ll keep it in mind for the future.
