Far-left progressives love to vocally denounce racism — as if that’s something that should distinguish them. They believe that opposing an ideology that every other rational human being also opposes makes them special. The riots in the wake of the wrongful killing of George Floyd are proof positive of this.
You see, it was barely weeks ago when these same people wanted the rest of us to shelter in place until no one ever died for any reason ever again. Then, after a disturbing video emerged showing what pretty much everyone agrees is a painful example of police brutality, the radical left saw the excuse they needed to get out of the house…and set yours on fire.
There has been no shortage of irony in any of this. An MSNBC reporter was famously caught on camera trying to call the riots “peaceful” — right as a building burned down behind him. They are going above and beyond to distort the truth playing out right before our eyes.
Here’s the harsh reality: the hardest-hit victims of the riots are by and large black Americans — the very demographic the progressive left is claiming to help by throwing rocks through windows.
So, this is a video for everyone who has used the phrase “black lives matter” in any context — because you are advocating for a cause that is effectively destroying black livelihoods.
But, don’t take it from us — here’s Michael Knowles with the clip.
Totally agree with the article.
Congratulations to these two business ownwer ladies………they ***the hit the nail right on the head***…..and..as a
white man as I am…….they have all my respect….GOD BLESS THEM
One thing that became obvious to me after watching the Ferguson and Baltimore riots,
When the riots start happening, the deaths of black people follow.
The most glaring truth was that the BLACK LIVES MATTER PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT BLACK LIVES !
But don’t tell anybody.
They just want to burn riot and steal!
All lives Matter.
Both of these ladies are right in what they are saying. Because if black lives matter they sure wouldn’t be destroying their own towns. This is not right of them too do. But I do still believe these protesters are being payed and funded by George Soros and the Antifa are also involved. And remember all Lives Matter it doesn’t matter what color or creed as we are all of GODS children. No one is above anyone we are all equal it tells us in the BIBLE. But people don’t ever read that book and I think they should. The only way we will ever get past the evil that runs this world is too turn back to GOD and his Son Christ Jesus. This is the only way. I encourage every one that may read this to pick up your BIBLE and start reading it and pray for understanding GOD will help you Understand his Book. God be with us through the hard times and let us come together as One people with love and not hate take the anger out of us and fill our hearts with LOVE. And protect us all from evil. Amen
sorry, but even if you don’t read the Bible, you already know all that about Gods children, and what they are doing is WRONG! THEY KNOW IT, BUT THEY DON’T WANT TO STOP. THEY WILL STOP WHEN SOROS AND OBAMA STOP PAYING.
They are sick terrorists, who like chaos and destruction. Look at Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Portland. Theyare ghettos and the BLM love the ghettos, it makes them feel comfortable.
Still for the peaceful protesters? So are many of us. Still for the rioters? Think again.
After more than a week of this BS, its about time the “peaceful” protesters stayed home. They’ve more than made their point by now. That would leave only the “rioters” for the police to contend with. I doubt many of them would show up when they don’t have the peaceful protesters to hide behind to throw bricks and other objects at the police. If the “peaceful” folks don’t stay home, then they’re just as responsible as the rioters, and can’t whine when they get arrested or worse.
The left will soon be jailed or outcasts of America
Boycott Hollywood
Boycott the left media
Boycott all demand their businesses
And unless you a lying communist boycott you Demscum lying so called friends
The Democrats have encouraged the riots, many of them paying to free those thugs who are arrested for various crimes. It is apparent from the videos shown on the news media that many of the looters are local residents who simply are prone to get brainwashed by some of the protesters and commit crimes such as breaking and entering business establishments, destroying property, stealing whatever they can carry, and setting fire to structures. The antagonists that brainwash many of the protesters are Democrats who want to destroy anything and everything – as long as it isn’t theirs. Those rioters who group together to cause damage, steal items, and set fires are doing these things to black communities and businesses. They chant “Black Lives Matter” but they in turn attack businesses that are owned or operated by blacks. Those people do not give a damned about improving lives of blacks – they only want to stir up troubles and cause damage wherever possible. Why do so many of our citizens join protest groups when they know beforehand that it will lead to violence in most instances? Your protests are best handled by voting. Vote for the candidate you really feel to be the best person for the job. Don’t be fooled by the news media. Voting for honest candidates will get them elected so they may then improve the lives of all races.
black people have no love for America so lets just sell out to china.I did like black people but they have changed my mind,I don’t like them now
For Soros and his gangs, ANTIFA doesn’t matter what color the businesses they destroy, rob and set on fire. After all, it was not they who raised money all their lives to build this business. Their business is simply to come and destroy.
And the mainstream media is complicit with the crimes by continuing to falsely label the rioters, vandals, and ones committing assaults and yes even murders as PROTESTORS.
A protestor is someone who marches, holds signs, SPEAKS about what grievances they have in an effort to LAWFULLY have them addressed.
A criminal or terrorist goes on a rampage destroying property, attacking people, and stealing in an effort to TERRORIZE and UNLAWFULLY get the political change they want and almost always targets people who have LITTLE if any chance of keeping their businesses open afterwards without any regards to PROTECTING any race, religion, gender, age etc.
SO far some of the lies I have heard spouted as their excuse in the Mainstream MEDIA
“Insurance will replace everything anyway” (as if everyone has the super expensive version, that insurance just blindly pays full replacement value without question or looking for loopholes to avoid payment, and unique family heirlooms or irreplaceable documents in their HOMES or businesses could somehow be replaced when they are burned, stolen, or otherwise destroyed.)
“Only big name businesses are being looted etc.” (False in that one incident the housing where SEVERAL minorities lived and where CHILDREN where home in bed when they set it afire and BLOCKED fire fighters from getting there was NOT A BUSINESS much less some big name well insured one.)
This list can go on for quite a while because nearly everything spouted from the REASON given vs the actual reason behind it to who is getting targeted by the criminals. Remember trying to cause political change through violence or threats of violence (ie terror) is defined as terrorism and insurance companies EXCLUDE acts of terrorism from their coverage as religiously as they exclude acts of God without a special more expensive policy.
Invariably when the acts of terrorism happen the small businesses especially the targeted minority ones that are destroyed are gone forever because they can not afford to rebuild and if they can who wants to be located in a state where the GOVERNMENT ordered the police to STAY OUT OF THE WAY and let it happen even going so far as to try and prosecute people for trying to protect their own lives and property when they get attacked.
In that one state so many businesses closed permanently because of the damage and others packed up to move because of how the government not only failed to protect the people but actively helped the criminals by removing owners who tried to exercise their constitutional right to protect their lives and property that same POLITICIAN who gave the illegal stand down order though he could OUTLAW closing a business or moving one out of town.
They hypocrisy of the entire thing is they are COMMITTING the same kind of crimes they accuse the police of doing in other words attacking INNOCENT PEOPLE even killing them if they resist having everything the own destroyed.
tell me what good came out of blm ,destroyed alot of black busnesses and looted injured tons of people! and this was peacefull , did more damage than good!
BLM don’t give a crap about black lives it’s all about the money that they collect from STUPID white people who for some reason believe they are responsible for their privalige well I am white I don’t have any privalige I work hard for my money and can’t make end meet for those who have money it’s your right to do what you want with it but stop pretending it’s about black lives it’s about the MONEY.
BLM is responsible. All sane Americans need to shut this down. Prosecute and jail the looters and destructive rioters.
These Militant thugs could care less what color the skin of the owners and workers in the stores that they destroy are. It has no cause other than destruction of property and stealing. It gives them an excuse for committing crimes. All races are suffering equally from this senseless violence. Not all black people are bad, neither are all white or any other race, we are all human beings and should treat others with respect, these thugs have no respect for anyone. This has nothing to do with race ,but everything to do with violence and hatred and their need for destruction and chaos.
And yet the hatred of the main stream media continues to spit out the lies.
YES! BOYCOTT THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA.
BOYCOTT HOLLYWOOD LIMO LIBERALS
BOYCOTT NANCY POLOSI FOR GIVING THE AMERICAN FLAG TO GEORGE FLOYD’S BROTHER WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE RIGHTFULLY BEEN GIVEN TO THE WIDOW, THE CHILDREN, AND GRANDCHILDREN OF DAVID DORN !!!
I hope all the persons of every color who have been violated by the Democrat party of hatred will remember..Remember how the Democrats supported the vandals, the arsonist, the looters, the assaults, and yes even murderers. Remember how the media encouraged the violence against all Americans through their lies and false stories. Remember how the #YouToo failed to listen to Tara Reade because she was not ONE OF THEM. Remember to vote REPUBLICAN and for President Donald Trump. He may not be polished in his speech. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S ACTIONS for ALL AMERICANS SPEAK THE TRUTH. Look up all he has done for us and than ask yourself How much more could he have accomplished if he was not under constant attack from the Democrats.
God created us all and loves us all, no race is more important then another. It is not about George Floyd it is about how much can we destroy and steal, these people do not want to work, they don’t think they should have to work, they want to steal and take away from those that work and work hard to make a living. God’s word says, “Thy shall not steal”, Thy shall not kill”, Thy shall not covenant they neighbors goods” all of these are being done, and began with the unfortunate death of George. These women are RIGHT on, and these rioter’s should have to pay for the damages to replace what was destroyed and those caught on film stealing should have to return merchandise and pay doing community time. The Bible “GOD’S WORD says if you steal you pay 7x for damages taken or destroyed.; If you steal how would you like it if someone robbed from you??? IT IS TIME WE GET BACK TO GOD’S COMMANDMENTS, AND HIS JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND APPLY IT TO OUR LAWS, AND NOT MATTER YOUR POLOTICIAL OFFICIALIATON, RELIGION ETC, YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES, EITHER BY OFFICIALS HERE ON EARTH, OR ON JUDGEMENT DAY. YOU WILL PAY.
GROW UP, GET A JOB, DO NOT BE PART OF THE PROBLEM, BE PART OF THE SOLUTION. STOP TAKING MONEY FROM ORGANIZATIONS THAT PAY YOU TO RIOT OR TELL YOU HOW TO VOTE, FREE ITEMS ARE ITEMS OTHERS HAD TO PAY FOR, OWNERS OF BUSINESSES, OR TAX PAYERS. YOU STEAL AND PRICES GO UP FOR THE REST OF US. STOP BEING STUPID, BE SMART, LEARN, EDUCATE YOURSELF, NOT BELIEVE THE PROPERGANDA TOLD YOU BY FAKE NEWS, DEMOCRATS THAT TAKE THE CREDIT OF OTHERS DOING GOOD, OR BY THE DEMOCRATS THAT TELL YOU DESTROY, KILL, STEAL, RIOT, ETC, THIS IS WRONG. YOU ARE RUINING YOUR LIFE AND TE LIFE OF OTHERS. AMERICA WAKE UP GET THE CROOKS, CRIMINALS OUT OF OFFICE, BY VOTING THEM OUT IN NOVEMBER. AND MAY THOSE DOING WRONG TURN THEIR LIFE AROUND BEFORE IT IS TO LATE. YOUR NOT A HERO WHEN YOU STEAL, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!!
God help the USA Vote republican a cross the board There wasn’t any division in our country until the dems got the house in 2018 Nancy Pelosi should be given the title of the woman that divided the Usa. You will not see a change until she and her puppets are gone
These women are right! The media pour gasoline on the flame! With their LIES to sell newspaper. Most of all they destory someone else life with their NARRATIVE! We all know the media will not reported a white man getting kill by a black man or cops! Because the white people wait until the judge rule on the case! Common sense! Media want to see RIOTER AND LOOTING GOING ON! So they can have the NEWS ON TV.
With the support from Democrats and the left-wing media towards the rioting by BLM, ANTIFA and other brainless radicles, it becomes crystal clear that it’s NOT the color of ones skin, but a peoples character that defines who WE truly are! This was recognized by Dr. Martin Luther King, it was true then and today! Wake up America and pay attention to Our history, as it is, NOT as you would believe from The Media and The Left! Democrats have lied to you for years, division is what they prey upon to control Our lives. The best way to defeat and live in peace and prosperity, is to remain, ALWAYS UNITED!
Someone please ask these people why they are rioting and looting, and what do they expect to accomplish. The answers will be stunning, if they can even answer rationally.
These riots are not about justice, they are about power for the leftists and money for the looters. Obviously BLM does NOT care about black lives.
I whole Hearted agree with all of you!
From the beginning of all this, I pleaded with my progressive friends to speak out against the extremist violence, the looting, the destruction. They would not listen. Poor Dr Martin Luther King. He must be in anguish as he watches all this.
