He didn't distance himself from them. He told them he loves them.

This is where the rubber hits the road. The left is going to ramp up it's own unique brand of racism and whites will be the target. White progressives will learn the hard way that all their pandering and virtue-signaling isn't the shield they think it is. This will cause them to go into a frenzy of denouncement of their fellow Caucazoids, as they act under the very mistaken nothing that pointing at someone else and crying "raaacist" will protect them from the same accusation.

It won't work, it has never worked and will never work. Eventually the fires they stoked will burn them too.

Precisely. The white progressives think if they join in with the anti-white racists, that they themselves will be spared - and they won’t. It’s like the Kapos who denigrated their fellow Jews, thinking that they would be spared by ingratiating themselves with the antisemites. They weren’t.

It started trending after another black man named George Floyd was murdered, literally suffocated on camera, by another police officer this year...

yes. They are mostly black.

See... I said it.

Does this make you happy?

So what about the rights of those who's livelihoods were destroyed and those who were maimed and killed?

That is awful. I feel badly for his supporters, being used like that. But they really should have known he just sees them as a resource to force his will on the country.

My response was in reference to another poster.

I'm sorry you don't like my answer.

and, btw,...

Pointing the finger saying but, look at what they did in response to every valid talking point isn't ever going to get us to a solution.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... there is no comparing what happened on January 6th to the BLM movement.

IMHO

Exactly. The leaders of BLM admitted they are a Marxist movement, and history is filled with the outcomes of that ideology. 50 million victims in Soviet Russia, 100 million in Maoist China, three million in Pol Pot's Cambodia. Marxism led to rivers of blood and should be treated with the same disdain and revulsion that Nazism is. But progressives are too obtuse to know or understand history. They think "it will be different" this time.

In addition, he thinks he can cover his **** in gold leaf and sell it. Well actually, that's what he's done.
Mr trump was not present and he did not order this attack
Negligence maybe but inciting a riot ?
I think not

What would you expect from a man who looks and acts like any other New York crime boss. The guy acts like a street hood shaking down the soda shop for protection money.
