I firmly believe descendants of slaves and colonized people who live in the West and are still mad about things that happened hundreds of years ago are crybabies or grifters. It's also super two faced for them to complain about White colonization while remaining silent about other groups doing it.
There are {{{people}}} still trashing long dead Roman judges in their holy book for decorating a tree with their man heysuez 2 millennium ago ... the cycle just goes on and on.
Wanted to just share a little off-topic sperg, but I typically have random media going on a background monitor; last few days, catching up a bit on Doctor Who. Yes, I know, I'm not going to defend my (lack) of taste. But, at the end of
the episode I was watching, I swear, this whole speech could just be dropped in to address our beloved peaceful rioters. Actually, come to think of it, you don't even need to change the references to 'humans' when speaking towards blantifags.
CLARA-Z: We've been left to fend for ourselves.
DOCTOR: So's everyone.
CLARA-Z: It's not fair.
DOCTOR: Oh, it's not fair! Oh, I didn't realise that it was not fair! Well, you know what? My Tardis doesn't work properly and I don't have my own personal tailor.
CLARA-Z: The things don't equate.
DOCTOR: These things have happened, Zygella. They are facts. You just want cruelty to beget cruelty. You're not superior to people who were cruel to you. you're just a whole bunch of new cruel people. A whole bunch of new cruel people being cruel to some other people, who'll end up being cruel to you. The only way anyone can live in peace is if they're prepared to forgive. Why don't you break the cycle?
CLARA-Z: Why should we?
DOCTOR: What is it that you actually want?
CLARA-Z: War.
DOCTOR: Ah. Ah, right. And when this war is over, when you have a homeland free from humans, what do you think it's going to be like? Do you know? Have you thought about it? Have you given it any consideration? Because you're very close to getting what you want. What's it going to be like? Paint me a picture. Are you going to live in houses? Do you want people to go to work? Will there be holidays? Oh! Will there be music? Do you think people will be allowed to play violins? Who's going to make the violins? Well? Oh, you don't actually know, do you? Because, like every other tantrumming child in history, Bonnie, you don't actually know what you want. So, let me ask you a question about this brave new world of yours. When you've killed all the bad guys, and when it's all perfect and just and fair, when you have finally got it exactly the way you want it, what are you going to do with the people like you? The troublemakers. How are you going to protect your glorious revolution from the next one?
CLARA-Z: We'll win.
DOCTOR: Oh, will you? Well, maybe, maybe you will win! But nobody wins for long. The wheel just keeps turning. So, come on. Break the cycle.
It's too bad these folks only watch Harry Potter; if they enjoyed other media from England, maybe they'd of heard that one.
ETA: Something topical, in case it hasn't been posted:

Whatever the duration of its operation, the presence of the Fly Team suggests that the administration’s alarmist language about the protests in Portland being “hijacked” by “anarchists” and “domestic terrorists” was more than mere talk—the government had acted using capabilities designed to meet a real threat of terrorism. And that action extended beyond public moves in Washington such as Attorney General
William Barr’s deployment of fifty-six local Joint Terrorism Task Forces and the formation of a
special DHS task force dedicated to protecting statues. Despite efforts by FBI Director Chris Wray to avoid validating Trump’s politicized rhetoric about Antifa, his agency has participated in policing Portland.
Not all former—and perhaps current—FBI agents agree with the director’s assessment in congressional testimony that Antifa is “a movement or an ideology,” and “not a group or organization.” Holcomb argued that, in some respects, Antifa does resemble a terrorist organization. “They’re extremely well-organized,” he said. “I would suspect that government agencies, whether it’s the FBI or others, are looking at them and trying to discern if there’s any international influence or support. I suspect that’s why they’re out there.”
