Seattle Mayor Blames ‘White Men’ For ‘Violence And Destruction’ At Riots

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.”

Seattle and Portland is where Antifa began.
Clearly the mayor is lying or dumber than the mayor of Minneapolis.

If not a full conspiracy, darn good use of the of the present situation.

The commie, antifa terrorists did organize, they planned, they deployed.

They were ready, willing and able to commit their brand of terror.

Their hatred for Whitey comes from the knowledge that they are failures, but they don’t want to face that, so they blame their failures on Whitey.

These riots are unusual in the sense that usually riots over black issues degrade into looting and arson by blacks. Now young white leftists have joined the action.The common strain, though, is the burning and looting of stores has nothing to do with the black issue and you won’t find one Republican among them. They are the dregs of society

“White men” are so scary that women cross the street in fear whenever one of them approaches!

I agree with your points...

“Dregs of society”...That is a good description of people who are engaged in looting...

White young leftists...Police, in Tennessee, arrested a young white guy for setting fire to a government building...
NYPD arrested two young white females for trying to burn NYPD vehicles...

My local TV station showed lootings in San Bernardino last night...
I saw blacks and Hispanics going into stores to steal merchandise...

Mayor...Don’t just blame white men...That is silly...
Anybody who has been watching TV coverage of looters will find your statement silly...

What if some reporter asks the Mayor this question?
Mayor, do you think that some blacks and Hispanics participated in the rioting?

How would she answer? My guess is that she would refuse to answer the question...Or she would say that many blacks and Hispanics feel hopeless because of white racism...

He's right!!!! The George Soros’ of the country and the mostly white communist media are causing this. No MSM are operated by black people. It's all white communist and their spoiled economically well off off spring who are behind this.
They are raised to think those of us in “Flyover” country are inferior and should not have any say so in the way we are governed. This opinion is furthered by communist professors who openly call for the destruction of our way of life. We need to totally transform our universities to show a balance of opinion from their faculty

That’s probably true in a lot of cases but they are from your side, Jenny.

Melissa lives in Australia, but she knows all about the U.S. and President Trump. And she's a dancer with a "jazz troupe," so there!

Yes these are full blown leftists but I’d still use the word liberal or, even better, progressive when describing them in public. These are less technical terms that can be used to tie them to the Democrat party.

Also, the Seattle mayor quoted in the article specifically did NOT say the white protestors are white supremacists. She doesn’t identify them explicitly but her language suggests what is plainly obvious — that these are Antifa types. My guess is most blacks are readily making the connection that the black clad jerks who’ve hijacked their moment are a bunch of pampered white progressive college kids.
