The protesters of the lock down were criticized for bringing guns, being racist(I don't know what that had to do with the protests?), Intimidating, for not wearing masks. Not one shot was fired, nobody was injured and no property was damaged, nobody arrested and nothing was stolen. The Floyd protests had looting, riots, millions in damages, people not wearing masks numerous injuries, and hundreds of arrests. The only criticizing I hears was it was a "few" bad apples. I guess the left now have their version of "Fine people" on both sides. The radical left have proven they are much more violent than the right.
Media coverage of the two different protests
- Thread starter Gooseifur
- Start date
Trump was encouraging protests against the states, sending the military against the protesters for equal justice.
You are conflating looters and criminals with peaceful protesters which your fearless leader has done and continues to do to delegitimize the peaceful protesters. many of the looters have in fact been right wing groups and many of the stories about the looting have been fed by bots which your fearless leader encourages because it ignites his base.
No I'm not, like I said there are fine people on both sides. Do you have proof that many of the looters are right wing or are you just parroting what your fearful left wing media are saying? So what you are saying is there isn't any looting. It's being put forward by the bots, Have you watched any TV coverage? Who are the people breaking into stores and stealing stuff? I didn't know bots were able to do that?
What's that got to do with what I said. The media was criticizing the lock down protesters for everything under the sun including not wearing masks and social distancing, yet they don't do the same with these protesters. Has the virus gone away? Are these protesters immune to the virus?
You are not telling the truth. Your favourite fake news channel CNN is forever criticizing protesters for not wearing masks.
Yes, CNN points out the obvious of lack of social distancing because they have an obligation to keep the narrative going.
CNN does a push on the importance of wearing PPE for the masses and now they'll let that sham ride off into the wind???
Striking fear into the masses and the reactions to it make great news.
Wrong?
Wrong with what? I admit that CNN is still pushing their covid agenda in its attempt to change the world as we know it.
Do you think CNN is going to let their fear mongering go away just because there is an ill timed protest going on?
They hit the jackpot with 2 great stories and the latter being the global pandemic scare going away like dust in the wind.
When this protest comes to very near end, what will CNN have left to strike fear into the people over if they dont keep their covid scare alive?
Yes, wrong as in the facts are the opposite of what you are posting!
Well, one was a very small group that can’t seem to understand basic science and wasn’t brutalized when they carried out their armed protests inside the legislature.
The other was an enormous group sickened by barbaric and racist murders that was brutalized just about everywhere they went. They were not free to stand unarmed within hundreds of yards of the White House without being attacked.
So, I should wear a mask when riding my bike wrong?
Or wearing a mask and gloves in my car alone wrong?
Or the magical 6ft distance between people outdoors in fresh air wrong?
Or China sending defective PPE around the world wrong?
Or the WHO finally admitting China lied wrong??? https://youtu.be/7lxU7SLlaJo
Stop parroting white supremacist talking points

From @williamcson
People are really out here parroting white supremacist talking points about “anarchists,” “radicals,” and “outside agitators.” These narratives have been repeatedly regurgitated by the state and the police and many are shamelessly endorsing it. [image: a KKK flyer from the 1930s]
Countless slave revolts were put down and betrayed by people saying radical, rebel slaves were going to get everyone killed or in trouble. Black movements are always infiltrated and disrupted by people sowing discord using manipulative tactics like this too.
False narratives about white leftists getting Black people in trouble are old tricks. If you're Black, you're already in trouble because of white supremacy. Repeating Jim Crow-era KKK police lies about “outside agitators” and ”radicals” manipulating Black people won't save us.
It's unfortunate to see some Black people repeating Jim Crow, KKK talking points about anarchists, radicals, and so on coming from the system itself that's killing us. It's clear a lot of people are misinformed, but some of these people are just protecting their own interests.
Many are awakening to the class issues at play here. Well-off people will undermine movements to protect their own class interests. So, don't be surprised to hear them repeating official police talking points because it makes sense that they would.
A movement against police violence is being co-opted by the president and both sides of the political establishment. The rich, wealthy, and elite hope to help shift focus to radicals in an effort to control justifiable rage using police talking points and some are falling for it.
Black history is filled with violent uprisings, riots, and rebellions that got us where we are today. People either don't know that or they hope to erase it in efforts to quell the anger. Anyone trying to say all Black people must protest one way are misinformed or manipulative.
Learn about Black radicalism and if you don't know what it is, don't speak on it as if you know. You're putting people's lives at risk by doing so. Focus on white supremacy and the oppression that's killing us.

There are definitely issues with white leftists that need to be addressed and Black people on the left have long been doing this work for ages. However, repeating KKK police messaging IS NOT THE WAY to address them so DO NOT. You are NOT helping.

If you need to address something with white people you feel are out of pocket and jeopardizing people, then address that with them. Talk it out. Just do not come over here with that KKK, police “outside agitators” and ”anarchists” here to get good Black people in trouble shit.
If you do not know there are Black people on the left that are communists, anarchists, abolitionists, and you feel the need to erase us by making these into strictly white ideologies you are either misinformed or manipulative. If you are the latter, get out the way and shut up.
Black leaders y'all quote and wearing on t-shirts were prepared to self-defend and be violent when necessary and did so. Many were communists, anarchists, and abolitionists. Accept, understand, and internalize that. They were ”outside agitators,“ and radicals. Don't erase them.
”Negroes must concern themselves with every single means of struggle: legal, illegal, passive, active, violent and non-violent.” – Lorraine Hansberry
During Ferguson uprisings, Mumia Abu-Jamal unpacked the label “outside agitators” on Prison Radio. It plays out similarly when authorities and their supporters use “anarchist,” “radical,” and other leftist political positions disparagingly.

Bull, they don't. They might mention it once a day where as during the lock down protests it was on an ongoing basis. They don't want to demonize the left including saying that the looters and rioters were not part of the protest. Of course they are. If The right wing protesters had been doing this they all would have been painted with the same brush, A distinction wouldn't have been made. They were all branded as racists anyway with zero proof. So much for facts first.
Which protesters were brutalized? Have you gone mad? They had destroyed and burned property and stole merchandise with no penalty. What does that have to do with protesting?
What would the reaction be by the left if right wingers were protesting this way? The "Protesters" are now blowing up ATM's in Philadelphia. What does this have to do with the killing of a black man by a white cop. The left are much more violent as a group than the right are. The media will never say this.
Have I gone mad? Don’t make me laugh. The bold text should disabuse you of that notion.
