Is the tide receding? Is some kind of high water mark now being reached?
It's not just that Blacks are laughing at the lefty white sheet show shambles going on in dumpster-fire Portland. Now they're getting disgusted.
PORTLAND, Ore. — Black community leaders are urging local protesters to shift the focus of demonstrations back to the Black Lives Matter movement and away from what has become a largely “white spectacle.”
Standing in front of a large banner bearing an image of Rep. John Lewis, the Black civil rights icon who died last week, the Rev. E.D. Mondainé, president of the Portland branch of the NAACP, told protesters, “The focus has been moved from where it is supposed to be and made to be a spectacle, a debacle.”
“This is no new thing we’re experiencing. We have seen this from the beginning of time,” Mondainé said. “Four hundred years we have struggled as Black people in this nation. … We have been made to be the last that were informed but the first that were affected.”
His remarks echo those of Robert Johnson, the Trump-supporting billionaire founder of the BET network, who last month said that all the white dominance at protests, supposedly for Blacks, was loaded with absurd symbolism and little of practical use, and frankly was laughable:
"You know black people, in my opinion, black people laugh at white people who do this, the same way we laugh at white people who say we got to take off the TV shows," he said mentioning the "Dukes of Hazard," a decades-old television program that has come under fire for featuring a car emblazoned with a Confederate flag graphic.

It’s all white suburban liberal performance art at this point - complete with the suburban moms there to cheer on their spoiled kids performing and rioting for the cameras. Pathetic - and the cowardice of our politicians allows this mental health breakdown to continue.
Antifa is culture appropriation of BLM—time for Antifa to be canceled.
I think these folks are determined to become societal pain in the ass until the day you and I are dead.
“Black community leaders”, your usefulness has expired. Democrats have new useful idiots.
no, the tide is not receding.
These are the same anarchists who have terrorizinv the Pacific northwest since the 1990s
It was never about “racial injustice” It’s about Bolshevism
Before all of this started, the general demographics of Portland was 3-percent black (Latinos actually make up near 9-percent of the population).
If you go and view the Antifa/BLM presence, I might agree that around 1k total ‘kids’ exist’. Logically then, 30 of the 1k should be black. But I just don’t see that many blacks (maybe a dozen). I don’t see any Latinos (but they are probably busy...actually working for a living).
BLM for Law And Order. Wouldn’t that be ironic.

STOP CAPITALIZING “BLACK”!
The blacks are finding out the riots have nothing to do with them their color is just a front for the progressive movement.
The democrat party are using them again time for them to wake up.
The rioters are rich white lefties because they have the ability to go out and riot, loot and burn.
Normal people, black, white or Hispanic, have jobs and need to get up and go to work the next morning.
Sounds kinda like “White Privilege” to me.
Your comment is so very well stated.
The rioting was never about Black people to begin with, BLM is just a useful slogan.
My favorite rat slogan: “Hope & Change” during the obama campaign. It was just meaningless words with absolutely no substance. And people just could not get enough of it, until the country was ruined.
I don’t know about black people getting sick of it but one thing I am sick of seeing: young white women who are protected from consequences by western values that say men should never touch a women using that privilege to get in the faces of cops and angrily scream demands that those western values be dismantled. Useful idiots.
I understand the last four hundred years for blacks in Africa, may actually have been worse.
BTW, do the people in Seattle, Portland and other hot-spots really understand it was their votes that led to and fuel this crap?
They need to start speaking out.
White Liberals are the problem in this country, not black people.
White Liberalism must be destroyed.
Blacks just need to step out of the way. White people know how to do this. If you are not going to be obedient, then go somewhere else.
