    There's a whole lot of domestic right wing terrorists in Washington DC enjoying their white privilege right about now. 

    Good thing they weren't caught selling loose cigarettes on Staten Island, that will get you choked to death.  
    Thems there the Proud Boys.  We gots a whole thread on em.
    The events in DC today are no less applicable for this thread than they are the PB thread. 
    I actually just saw the footage of the DC area on Fox.  There are wayyyyyyy more than proud boys there.

    Shouldn’t we all be happy right now? We’re all on the same page here. Things aren’t going to change overnight but there’s a lot more to hope for now then there has been in a long time. 
    Everyone stop being so cranky! 
    Good call... I mean, we're experiencing the 4th largest mass casualty event in America's history (soon to be 3rd) and terrorists have stormed the nation's capitol, but people should try to be a little less cranky. 
    Hey that was stupid of me. I wasn’t aware yet what was going on....my apologies

    It is pretty ridiculous. I was as critical of the BLM "peaceful protests" as anyone. But come on, trashing a Walmart isn't exactly equal to trashing the federal capitol.

    Absolutely. If I didn't know better, I'd say that maintaining white supremacy is a key function of police.
    lol you mean it isn't? I thought that is what it was founded on.

    A lady was shot and killed, from what I saw looked like the police. How is that white privilege or kids gloves?
    I think today was terrible. No one should storm a capitol building like that. I hope they are all caught. But I keep hearing and seeing comments like this, or comparing it to BLM and talk about the white privilege and I just don’t agree. BLM lasted for months, were allowed to take over police precincts in some cases. We’re allowed to assault police in many cases. The few times t be y were prosecuted the DA was fired and celebrities posted the bail. 
    This just seems more like a lesson in Newton’s Third Law than white privilege.

    One white woman trying to help overthrow the government does not equal protesting for racial justice and being met by jack booted thugs.  It’s too bad she died but let’s look at the facts. 13 arrests and the terrorists calmly walked out of the capital escorted by cops.  After attempting to OVERTHROW our elected government. People with sidearms and zip ties no less.  There is a real history of racial violence and prejudice in this country and a two tiered justice system. If you didn’t see it today I’m sorry but you are blind.

    No reason to argue it - anyone who wants to discuss what went down today by comparing to this summers protests about the systemic racism in America is not interested in a real discussion.  

    Making that comparison is white privilege at work.
