"A lot of whiteness started seeping into the forefront. A lot of white voices started seeping into the front." —Devin Boss, BLM leader in Portland, Ore.
Leftist coalitions are inherently unstable, so it was only a matter of time before clashes between angry blacks under the banner of BLM started chafing over the prominence of mostly white Antifa radicals. Power, after all, is what motivates the left, and political power is a zero-sum game. Add in the permanent racial resentment animating Black Lives Matter, and the prospects for smooth collaboration between BLM and Antifa decline over time.
The violent revolution in the streets has been going on longer in Portland, Oregon than anywhere else in the United States, so it is unsurprising that the Rose City is where the clash first has become visible. Oregon Public Radio reports (hat tip: Jeff Charles):
This week marks six months since Floyd's death, and protests continue in Portland. But now, activists in the city are divided as to whether they are still fighting in a racial justice movement centered on Black lives, or if an unfocused, anti-establishment fight against capitalism and state power has usurped the initial cause that brought thousands of Portlanders into the streets.
Instead of mass mobilizations focused on disrupting city streets and educating the public, recent protests draw a few dozen people who have regularly engaged in vandalism against such disparate targets as a Democratic Party office, the Oregon Historical Society and the Mexican consulate. (snip)

Stand back and let ‘em kill each other.
No honor among communists.
Marxists fighting over power. Wow, that never happens.
Now is the time to start staging bricks and stone on street corners.
You know your history sir!
There is a “purge” coming and BLM and Antifa have few common interests.
I laugh at these pathetic nitwits’ perpetual idiocy and loser status.
When will the majority of Blacks come to the realization that White leftists and the Democrat Party don’t want them to be in control of ANYTHING! From corporations to organizations to their own lives! White lefties want to control Blacks forever!
They already did, and they voted for him. Leftists disenfranchised those voters
I love watching my enemies engage in internecine warfare.
Support the weaker side. Keep the conflict ongoing. It all could turn out like a self-cleaning oven. Win/win.
Was going to post a pic of a black and white fag fighting but what came up I almost puked... lesson learned !
Fi hunret dugrees.
In contrast, Republicans have been all over the map throughout 2020. Very inconsistent messaging. Right, George & Jeb? Right, Lincoln Project? Right, Kasich (who spoke against President Trump at the Democrat National Convention)? Right, Romney (who voted to remove President Trump from office)? Right, Murkowski, Rubio, Sasse, and Collins?
The one thing Hitler gave us that’s useful is a framework for understanding evil. Interesting post BlueLancer...
A modern day “Night Of The Long Knives’’. I’m loving it.
