Apparently some Democrats don't think black people can think for themselves

Electing a black person President was...the apex of racism in America?

Your perceptions of reality truly baffle me.
It was a joke. Quite the opposite (apex of racism), don't you think?

Not sure what evidence would convince you otherwise, if it didn't come out of a Fox News reporter's mouth. I've personally protested this year. I know other protestors. I've seen the way protests have been carried out across the country. A member here actually posted a scientific study showing that most of the protests are peaceful.

For your viewing pleasure

How many businesses have been put out of business due to broken windows?
Quite a few, not to mention those that were burned.

Are you saying black people are stupid because they overwhelmingly support Democrats??, and don't believe the Presidents racist BS, as you seem to be saying you do.
No, I said liberals are arrogant because they think they know better than blacks, and others. They are the racists...




Now, could you be specific about the racism you insinuate President Trump exhibits with examples because there are many in the black community who think otherwise...

92% of Blacks support Democratic candidates, maybe they know something you don't, the 8% that support Trump are probably rich enough that they only care about lowering there own taxes, so they're hardly going to be credible character witnesses. Rich people always look out for their own and to hell with everyone else.

One would imagine.


Yes, and?

That was 2 months ago, in one town. I saw one fire. I saw no city lying in ruins.

Also, why were those people protesting? Which progressive policy was it?

If your business has to literally go under because someone broke one of your windows, your business isn't doing too well to begin with. Truth is, the vast majority of such businesses have insurance against that kind of damage.

Those numbers are changing because it is small black business owners, average families, not the rich, who have seen the policies of the Trump administration bring improvements to their lives and communities.

Those are some easy answers. If your patrons are avoiding your store because your neighborhood is the nightly prowl for hooligans, yeah, you are going to lose business Also, graffiti and chipboard are not a huge draw for a business. As for insurance, not many business owners were anticipating riots and didn't review their policies prior to the fires, vandalism and looting. I will say the riots probably did a lot for Trump's campaign. I mean, defunding the police is such a wonderful concept, more so when you punctuate it with rioting, smashing windows and looting.:(

You are conflating "hooligans" and protestors.

Not many business owners have experienced riots or arson or looting, so that's rather irrelevant.

I can only repeat myself so many times.

If some day you want to talk seriously about why police officers shouldn't be social workers, let me know.

There’s been millions of dollars in damage in more than one city. More importantly and sadly many have lost their livelihood and small businesses they worked hard to build. The extremely sad and ironic thing is that much of the damage caused by the BLM riots was in black communities.

Costs from weeks of protests take financial toll on cash-strapped cities across US

This is just not true, 40% of Black small businesses have failed under Trump, try reading just what Trump has and hasn't done for the black community

No, Trump hasn’t been the best president for Black America since Lincoln

Why don’t you try researching and getting your info from black writers and people in the trenches who know the reality of inner city life, instead of liberal white bias news sources like Vox, CNN, or other mainstream media with an agenda?

I'm associating hooliganism with hooligans.

Not if you are a business owner trying to survive a pandemic and then have your business destroyed by rioters.

I can only repeat myself so many times.
But these are the images we walk away from...

If some day you want to talk seriously about why police officers shouldn't be social workers, let me know.
Please clarify...?

Yeah and the really sad thing is a good proportion of the rioters were right wing extremist Trump supporters, not Antifa

I don't take Fox News seriously as a source of information, sorry.

I think violence at protests is bad.

The vast majority of protests have been peaceful. (Link already given, twice)

Are we in agreement there?

Your Black news sources were white Trump supporters. Try reading the article, facts are true no matter what race the author is.

No, Trump hasn’t been the best president for Black America since Lincoln

The author is a black woman in Philadelphia for your information
