Racists have this stupid psychological schtick where they think "It's a word that I know everyone will assume refers to black people, but I swear I don't, so it's ok! Even though the whole point is still referring to black people and then calling people wrong when they assume I mean black people!"

What is up with conservatives with thinking they can ever make a legitimate point by being disingenuous? Sarah Palin's daughter got an abortion, conservative politicians have stayed quiet about contracting covid, and your posts are just averse to any proper context ever.

The same meaning as what Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake tried.

https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/baltimore-unrest/mayor-stephanie-rawlings-blake-under-fire-giving-space-destroy-baltimore-n349656

"It is idiotic to think that by destroying your city, you're going to make life better for anybody," she said. "Too many people have spent generations building up this city for it to be destroyed by thugs who, in a very senseless way, are trying to tear down what so many have fought for."

Her use of the word "thugs" was met by accusations of racism against Rawlings-Blake, a 45-year-old Democrat who has received recognition for her achievements as a minority, including an award for being a trailblazer from the National Congress of Black Women.

On Tuesday, she requested additional support from the National Guard in taming the unrest in Baltimore and wrote on her Facebook page, "Right now my heart is broken. Yesterday, our home experienced deplorable and cowardly acts of violence.

Government buildings.
In these instances, I don't recall any attacks against police (or sheriffs) guarding the place.

I don't think looting is liberating a city, and in fact is probably the opposite (in the vein of razing it to the ground).
Now protestors could have gone and camped out in front of the legislature and governor's mansion, but that wouldn't net them any TVs or liquor.

Ill give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was referring to the rioters. But his response is so combative and threatening that its just pouring fuel on the fire.

Again, he acts more like a mafia boss than a president.

They know while they're doing that, they're gonna just add more names to the protest list. Like exactly what's going on now. But you would never have to worry about your family, so a silent protest is all the same to you.

And it wouldn't net them any justice. Kaep took a knee in protest and this same President attacked him. White people stormed the government building and he said they were doing things the right way.

Obviously he meant the literal trash destroying property and destroying a city.

But it's funnier to assume the former like the majority lot of nutcases are on Twitter lmao.

Trump is a fucking idiot is what that means, which should come to no surprise.

But there has been more usage of firearms over the day since the looting started, so even if a racist shares the statement that doesn't make it incorrect.
