In the midst of a fucking PANDEMIC that has killed hundreds of thousands of people, to go protesting? A pandemic that has been proven especially devastating to black communities? Do the protestors not realize that their actions are probably going to cause way more black people to die than police brutality?

This shit has been going on for DECADES. Why did it wait til now?

Society has been crumbling since the 80s when the novelty of the 60s wore out, and the war economy built in the 40s made things utopic, for a while....

Now the reset button has popped ready and you zoomers need to learn to fight your way back to what could be again.

Probably because black folks tend to be lower on the socioeconomic scale and are either out of work and can't afford healthcare or they have to remain working in spite of the virus

The pandemic means there are a lot of people out of work, sitting around at home with nothing to do except worry. It was a powder keg, the George Floyd footage was the spark that gave all those people an outlet.

Louisiana, with more than twenty-one thousand reported infections, has the largest number of coronavirus cases outside of the Northeast and the Midwest.

...

this macabre roll call reflects the fact that African-Americans are more likely to have prexisting health conditions that make the coronavirus particularly deadly.


So it's once again calling being poor a race issue. Poor people are disproportionately ill of health.

Oh, and this stuff is happening due to communal interest. Everybody hyped eachother up with tension in the air from lockdown so their habits brought them to eachother, a protest was the natural conclusion.

If you had been paying attention, we've had countless race riots when people aren't satisfied with the police response.

because the murder happened now

and protests will continue to happen whenever white police officers murder unarmed black men until the issue is resolved

It's almost like if we furloughed jobs like non-oligarchy countries did this wouldn't happen.

Cops have gotten off scott free for killing black people hundreds of times in the recent past. This should have happened 10 years ago.

Because another gruesome public execution of a black person in a time when 30-40m people have no job lead to a lot of people having free time and nothing to lose by protesting. If anything, the looting and rioting is more likely related to COVID issues than not.
