Riots spurred by death of George Floyd take heavy toll on black lives, communities

Businesses owned and frequented by blacks have been wiped out; those killed in riots mostly black.

WA Times:

The rioting on the heels of Black Lives Matter protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody has come at a high price for the black community.

Those killed amid the rioting over the black man’s death have been disproportionately black. Businesses owned and frequented by blacks have been wiped out in the looting and destruction, and a memorial to black Civil War soldiers has been defaced.

“The contradictions and the hypocrisy of these so-called social justice warriors — they are more concerned about their own virtue-signaling, even if it means the continued destruction of black Americans,” said Robert Woodson, a conservative civil rights leader and founder of the Woodson Center.

Derrick Wilburn, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Black Conservatives, said Mr. Floyd’s death May 25 as a police officer knelt on his neck had united Americans — and then the riots began.

“It’s tough to see anything being worse for the black community than what we’ve seen in this last week. It’s horrible,” Mr. Wilburn said.

The unrest may be only the beginning. Public health officials have warned that the hundreds of thousands who took to the streets with little or no social distancing may fuel transmission of COVID-19, a disease that has hit racial minorities hardest.

“It is the perfect setup for the spread of the virus in the sense of creating some blips which might turn into some surges,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Friday. more here

  1. Progressivism is all about increasing innocent human suffering, misery and death. Nothing new here. Lowlifes are preying on vulnerable innocents and their prog overseers are letting it go down. Unfortunately the black leaders that rose organically in successful black communities have been displaced by “black leaders” chosen by the progressive movement. Bad drives out the good. The media is controlled by the progressive movement and they decide who gets the microphone and who does not.

    Anyone who has ever been involved in trying to advocate for any disadvantaged population has seen this dynamic in action. The progressive movement preys on the vulnerable and they do it through “non profits” they have set up or legitimate movements they infiltrate and take over.

    It is absolutely disgusting what these phony baloney social justice warriors get away with and they are able to do it because the media is the gate keeper to the microphones needed to get any message out. Social media and YouTube were a way around that and we have seen the efforts they have put into plugging that hole in their armor.

    I have their number. I have seen what they do and it disgusts me. They are subhuman filth, the entire despicable progressive movement is beneath contempt.

  2. So far following the death of George Floyd we have had at least 12 police officers shot and 2 murdered in the line of duty.

    Plus the rioters have shot and/or murdered about 25 citizens, assaulted 1000’s and destroyed or looted well over $500 Million in private property. All over 1 wrongfully murdered but a seriously violent Ex-con.

    A simple question to our Liberal Americans.

    Has the Anti-FA and BLM (the Democrats Gestapo) told you, you can feel better yet?

  4. They ALWAYS burn down their playground thinking that it will magically reappear. Any business in a black neighborhood is asking for trouble. We’re not going to get ourselves out of this so-called racial mess. From the beginning of the British bringing slaves onto our shores, it’s been a struggle ever since. It’s in their tribal DNA to destroy their playground, they know nothing else. Even Margaret Sanger’s noble act of placing abortion clinics in black neighborhoods backfired. Our white European culture does not fit into their jungle spear chucking culture. They will never fit into American culture despite being here since 1619. BTW, most slaves had a better life here than they would of had in Africa. However, we are finding out that they cannot assimilate into civil society, it isn’t in their DNA.

    Been hearing that the COVID was manufactured just to target the black community to destroy them. This is what they believe and another reason for them to act out. They’re not smart enough to understand that it’s their lifestyle that contributes to diseases. Bad hygiene, ignorance about diet, government handouts which they demand and get, and the inability to be educated for a better way of life. Democrats have kept them down with the carrot of welfare dangling over their heads. Spare me the racists crap, it doesn’t work with me.

  6. The radical Left has burned out these cities with the intent to instigate and foment more hatred, but also to drive the inner city population out to the suburbs. With no food markets or pharmacies left they will have to travel out to the burbs to survive bringing their diseased mentality with them!

  7. Any excuse will do. They’ve been building the organizations to foment insurrection and anarchy for decades aided by the anti-American college system.

    There is a lot of money in these solutions in search of a problem.

    Shut it all down.

  8. Deep state operatives are not stupid. This is all planned to create more crises upon more crises. It also will get all those uppity capitalist negroes back onto the plantation where they belong and hating whitey.

  9. @TRF: Here’s how to avoid that. Move to the mountains. I am serious, blacks do not like the mountains, it spooks them. Ever seen lots of blacks go camping? They don’t like that either as they’re afraid of the forest and wild animals.
