Sad and true dal.

They were probably protecting against some black rioter from putting up the confederate flag. It’s an obvious target.

I’m on your side with this except smiling would not be the appropriate response.

Very true. There were no black people in cities this summer. Was eerily quiet.

I don’t know about the chicken statement but smiling because your point was proven through violence is selfish.

Yeah, there were more people shot and killed by the police at the violent BLM protests in DC that week...oh wait a minute..

It is sad but true. I live in Portland and It is also sad that the opposite is true here. A liberal person of color is less likely to be charged with a crime for rioting and looting than a conservative white person. Violent protests, rioting, and looting are reprehensible behavior and the perpetrators should be prosecuted regardless of their skin color, gender, or ideology. We should not have double standards or perpetuate stereotypes.

It's been a while since I read Schlesinger's biography but I believe that toward the end of his life Malcolm saw the power in MLK Jr's non-violent approach. I wish more people today understood the message of Gandhi and MLK JR and the power of non-violent protest.

Oh wait a minute, BDK just supported DAl's point that liberal dark-skinned protesters were treated more harshly than conservative white protesters.

Getting into a we did it but they did it worse argument is an immature and anti-American race to the bottom. Violent protests, rioting and looting are wrong regardless of who is doing it or why it's being done.

You clearly lack reading comprehension..

Some people have trouble distinguishing protest from criminal acts.

Those ppl proved what that great man said in the '60s this a country started by violence and now it has returned to where it started.

Trying to violently enter the House chamber? Try again dumb ass. Equating the two sets of protests/riots is a fools game.

I think there are definite similarities so comparisons are valid. The fools game is trying to justify your side's because the other side did it first/worse. Violent protesting, rioting and looting are wrong no matter who is doing it and why.

At one point in his life did he say that? Would the older, wiser Malcom X agree with that statement?

I agree as far as violence goes, but you're sitting on the fence a bit too much I fear. The subset of violent protesters in DC was simply out to stop our government representatives from fulfilling their duty. After nearly 250 years of peaceful change. I think that the majority of protesters in both instances were peaceful. But trying to compare the end game of both (more equitable treatment by authorities, or hell free TV's if you like vs attempting to stop succession as outlined by the Constitution) is bullshit.

I don't disagree with you either. I do think how much was allowed during the BLM protests raised the bar for the MAGAts. What happened in DC did not happen in a vacuum. What happened over the summer doesn't excuse what happened in DC but that doesn't mean it wasn't a contributing factor. Placing the blame solely on the right without acknowledging and addressing the ongoing and worsening degradation of civility and desensitization to attacks on government and authority is only going to serve to further anger and isolate people who feel that their government has abandoned them.

We'll see if Democrats truly want reconciliation and healing by how they respond. Calling Republicans Nazis is not a good first step.
