What a crock of shite. Our culture? Rioting is more of a European thing!
Wonder how she would feel if the riot wrecked her home or cost her something dear. At the core of every liberal there is the mantra “With my guilt and your gelt, we can do anything!”
Shooting looters is a righteous American experience as well although not currently en vogue.
Thanks, Darlena, we’ll remember you said that.
Darlena just can’t remember if rioting with your legs crossed is patriarchal or not. Time is a joke.
liberal commentators think their liberal readers will buy any crap they come up with.
It must be terrible to be obsessed with guilt for being born white, while being smugly elitist at the same time. What an insult to every person, white or black, who came from hard circumstances and made something of themselves in spite of the odds.
Cultural norms are key to a civil and productive society. If you want to live as an outlier to the norms, it has consequences, such as employment opportunities and advancement, family structure, education, housing, and community relationships.
Now what you do inside your own home is your own business, but if you insist on residing outside the mainstream culture both in thought and deed, things won't work out so well for you.
a cop defends himself from an attacker and that’s a cause for you to go rioting in the streets?
sick, lady, you sick
Why doesn’t she move there and enjoy her american experience. A moron writing for a moronic outfit.
if Conservatives showed up in DC to riot I doubt these Leftists would be so understanding.
She really is a muttonhead. Have they completely abandoned critical thinking in schools for inculcation of lefty political cant?
We’ve seen some crazies here, but this one is way out front:
‘The looters are like the founding fathers, and burning McDonald’s is, gee whiz, like the Boston Tea Party.’
Heavens to Murgatroyd.
She compares masked rioters hauling off stolen electronic gear to Minutemen standing at Concord and on Lexington green and our American Revolution.
Good old Time magazine finally jumped the shark. Adios, dirtbags!
And that's saying something.
Comparing it to the Boston Tea Party..... Wow.
Isn’t this the same publication that said Men not crossing their legs while seated is an affront to metro-sexuals?
Meh.
>> Peaceful protesting is a luxury only available to those safely in mainstream culture
These “White Privilege” tools are like... so annoying!
I prefer the time-honored tradition of shooting looters.
Maybe when we have a black President, there will be no more riots/sarcasm
Darlene's quotes:
I grew up in a white, affluent suburb, where failure seemed harder than success. In college, I studied biology and journalism. I worked for good money at a local hospital, which afforded me the opportunity to network at journalism conferences. That’s how I landed my first news job as an associate producer in Hartford, Conn. I climbed the ladder quickly, free to work any hours in any location for any pay. I moved from market to market, always achieving a better title, a better salary. Succeeding.

Martin Luther King was safely in the mainstream culture? Who knew?
