Found the following from a Candace Owens video:
Black Lives Matter and Antifa activists are what happen when a society gives birth to an entire generation of spoiled rotten brats who have never experienced any real suffering.
Now there are some great young people to be sure but I scratch my head at people in their teens and early 20s thinking they are heros for posting that racism is bad. Another dangerous thing is the glorification of people with shady pasts like Blake and Floyd. In the Blake case you can argue that 7 shots was excessive but people get furious if you point out that his choice to ignore the cops led to that moment. Sadly people like Canon Hinant or David Dorn don’t get golden caskets and adulation.
One of the worst cases of police brutality I’ve seen is the Daniel Shaver case. If you want to shine a light on bad cops then you can’t act like only black people are treated poorly by cops. Shine a light on all of it while working to establish good relations between the police and the community.
Finally I was born in 1980. Anyone else around my age feel like we were making progress in the racial unity area as a society until Obama? I say Obama because that’s when I remember race being talked about endlessly and I first heard nonsense like micro aggressions and white privilege.
Its not popular to remember, but after 9/11 we had the least interracism ever. At least in America.
In a single moment we all came together, to fucking hate Muslims. Which at the time were a very small unknown minority in the country. Some incidents of Indians being attacked happened, but otherwise black/white hatred was null for a while.
But that doesn't help the powers that be, so the seeds of division had to be sown.
You forget Muslims are not a race. At least where I was, nobody had a problem with middle easterners. However, god help you if you wore a turban, hijab, or had any Arabic tattoos.
I know they aren't, but Muslims and Arabic people are such a huge overlap that in the interest of bigotry they are interchangeable.
Where I was anyone brown but not speaking Spanish was all fair game. Including a lot of innocent Indian folks, unfortunately.
