Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan asserted Sunday night that “white men” are responsible for much of the widespread destruction across the country during protests against the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after an officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes.
“I want to acknowledge that much of the violence and destruction, both here in Seattle and across the country, has been instigated and perpetuated by white men,” she wrote Sunday night on Twitter, adding that they “experience the height of privilege and are co-opting peaceful demonstrations.”

Why does she not include white women? What about white transgendered? Shouldn’t she say “white people” or “white humankind”?
Well, there are some Whites involved, but I would hardly call them men.
Whenever I want to determine if a statement is racist I swap white for black to see if the same statement could be said in public.
I blame [black] men for...
These wording would be condemned as racist so “I blame white men..” is also racist.
No matter how I adjust the color-contrast on my TV, I just can’t grasp his point.
I knew one...he died a couple years back ";^)
This really IS something out of 1984.
It’s not white men. It’s democrat communists of all hues.
Not only is Durkan an idiot and a hypocrite, Durkan is also color blind.........
Agree. I thought surely us crackers would see through the black scam (Affirmative Action, etc) someday. Apparently not.
It was bill Clinton who ordered the destruction of a religeous group in Waco TX where children died in the fire.
It was bill clinton who ordered the kidnapping od Elian , to please Castro.
It was barry who said let the rioters destroy property and businesses.. and that was the. First time it was ok to literally destroy and it be excused and allowed by a President.
This wink and nod was set up by barry and the media...
White LEFTIST men.
Sorry toots, they’re yours.
She is a lesbian.
Yep...white liberal people.
Black community needs to get ‘woke’ and realize they are not their commrades.
In a way she’s right. Klantifa has lily-white leadership and one of their missions is to destroy Trump’s economy which has lowered black unemployment to an all-time low.
They’re improving. At least they didn’t say “white boy”.
Right, it’s all my fault.....
“White LIBERAL Men”
These aren’t white liberal men like Jimmy Carter; these are white leftist men like Joseph Stalin. The Dems have gone way past being led around by liberals. These are essentially the same people we were fighting in the Cold War: the Communists and their fellow-travellers, who were responsible for literally hundreds of millions of deaths, easily more than any other ideology in history.
That being said, if Democrat spokesmen in a desire to excuse black rioters and looters (peaceful protestors my foot) want to count Antifa Marxists and Anarchists as white supremacists, that’s fine with me. I’d love to see hate crimes filed against them for helping to burn black neighborhoods. The irony would be brilliant.
She’s correct, and all are members of Antifa.
