The protesting here in USA would have had a more poignant impact , "if" it was done peacefully! Thus honoring George Floyd.
As is being done, All the Looting was done for "self" gain, (not to honor George) and then all the destruction done was criminal!
What I feel like you are not understanding by this statement is that many were protesting peacefully-
Other groups came in, and people from other states and began the rioting and looting and destruction.
White people were looting. White people were destroying. There is video of it.
Also in Seattle people were protesting peacefully UNTIL the officers in riot gear showed up. Kind of strange isn't it.
But of course everyone will associate the looting and rioting with black people.
Really didn't single out "black" people rioting & looting, what I did say was that rioting and looting "dishonored" George.
Done by "agitators", it was said 80% of the demonstrators were peaceful, but they were overshadowed by the rowdy rioters, that endangered the actual peaceful protestors.
No you didn't single out black people but you didn't make the distinction about protestors-you said their message would have been heard more clearly if.......
which linked the peaceful protestors to the rioters-black or white.
