Today's protesters protest bygone times when slavery was legal and was considered, by many otherwise normal people, socially desirable and morally acceptable. They also protest the times of racism and racial discrimination that came after slavery was abolished in the U.S. Those times are gone.
America, in order to make up for the past suffering of slaves, has bestowed on blacks many privileges and entitlements that are not available to all other Americans, affirmative action and protection from so-called disparate impact being examples. American whites have become — as a racial group — the most aracial people on Earth. In predominantly white America, both implicit and explicit discrimination against blacks in admissions, hiring, retention, and promotion has been made illegal. Even vague expressions of perceived anti-black racism, like displaying a rope that some may consider a noose, are being vigorously investigated by law enforcement and — if the evidence warrants it — punished. A privately made statement that could be interpreted by some as racially disparaging or critical of blacks can easily end the professional career of the speaker, particularly if the speaker is white.
Yet the protesters, impervious to our relentless efforts to protect blacks from any form of discrimination, presumed or actual, keep protesting and accusing whites of being the root causes of the wrongs that happened in those past times, even though they and — in many cases — their ancestors did not suffer from those wrongs yet are benefiting from the privileges that were meant to make up for the suffering caused by those wrongs.
No one can change the past, even if the protesters destroy everything that we and our ancestors have built on American soil. America's history is what it is and will stay that way forever.

It pushes the idea of inherited guilt.
That people today are responsible for the actions of someone else and must make restitution to another also unrelated party.
It’s not about slavery or black lives mattering.
It’s about the Communist Revolution, by any means necessary.
Bill Ayers is an “adviser” to BLM, if that rings any bells.
bingo
‘It pushes the idea of inherited guilt.’
just like Original Sin...
Somebody please post the ‘legal’ definition of that word ‘slavery’!!!
A majority cannot help being what it is. Blacks will always be 13% of the United States population, and whites will always be the super-majority.
The riots are not directly about whites versus blacks, it's about Republicans versus Democrats. In the short-term, these protests are about coercing the majority of Republicans to give over their votes to the causes of Democrats.
With Donald Trump as President, Democrats fear they cannot win any other way than to threaten and intimidate voters with race riots and destruction of their livelihoods.

—every weekend in most of out urban paradises, many young (mostly male) members of a certain ethnic group prove that they would be better off if someone who cared did own them—the owners wouldn’t tolerate what they do to each other—
When things swing around in the Future it will be the Democrats that will blame and attack Blacks for all the destruction
its time to end all privileges for all protected classes.
all of them.
its unconstitutional for one thing
it creates entitled classes and people with chips on their shoulders
it creates people who think they can do no wrong
it creates additional classes/castes
and the entitled just want more, and think they deserve more, and think things always are getting worse so they can justify more special privileges
The only exception i would make is....it’s not about dem vs rep as it is about prog/left/commie/illegals/anarchy/propaganda vs conservative/family/tradition/USC/rule of law/honest reporting of news.
Like stirring up an old crusted over cow pie. You find it still stinks.
Lots of selfie videos.
This is all about distraction. The Democrats have to complete their racist renovations before Biden can be amera ready.
After the statues come down, military installation names are changed, white virtue is signaled, police are defunded, etc., is it likely, as a result, that drugs will disappear from their street corners or education will be more valued or crime rates will decline or the teenage illegitimacy rates will recede or more black fathers will stay in the home? Doubtful when 95% of our effort is looking for blame for the dysfunction in the community outside the community, while only 5% is spent on realistically trying to confront the root causes and toxic values within the community that cause it.
blacks were used again by the left in order to rid the country of capitalism, and build it up with to communism.
I would like to see an article addressing black racism too.
Sanders may have started it, but Ocasio-Cortez and her crew and rapidly pulling Pelosi, Schumer and others to the descriptions you gave.
However, I will rebut by saying that the "dem vs rep" comparison separates the truly ideological from the rank partisan tactical expediency that politics dwells in.
It may serve Pelosi's power needs to side with the prog/left, but she'll pull back once her goals are met if she thinks staying there will threaten her leadership.
I think that, to her it's about abortion, and to Schumer it's about the Supreme Court. The rabid Left, of whatever makeup, are just their tools to get what they want.

Once the past is erased then slavery never existed.
