You are forgetting, because there was much of that happening 8 years ago. Difference being of course that Obama was not a hate monger.Tanooki wrote:For a collective of people coming out denouncing all the awful treatment of people by a fringe racist nutbag contingent of cowardly Trump supporters, why are we not seeing as much disgust and shaming of those who are protesting with non-peaceful means the last 2 nights? Trashed businesses, trashed structures, wrecked brand new and used privately owned cars and other property. It's not right. I get they're mad, but going out and rationalizing let's break some shit is not the answer. Maybe I'm forgetting but 8 years ago we didn't see a bunch of angry white people rushing into business districts and minority neighborhoods burning the place down. Fed up with the tactics both sides are exhibiting right now.
Nobody is condoning such behavior. I certainly wouldn't, as evidenced by my "I won't stand in the streets and protest" comment.
Why do you continually bring up race in the display of bad public behavior? This isn't about white people vs. black people or a white president vs. a black president. The people who are angry right now include all races and sexes and just like you don't want to be boxed in, neither do we. I have not done as much as shoot an angry look at a Trump voter. When it's the other way around you brush it off as a "few stupid trolls".
You're questionable in your approach. I certainly hope I'm wrong about the underlying message of your postings.
