Protests or Riots
In my lifetime there have been riots in American cities where angry minorities looted and burned their neighborhoods.
Now, in 2020, angry mobs are looting and burning our cities. It started in minority neighborhoods but spread to other areas.
Back in the day these disturbances were referred to as "riots" but now in 2020 they can't be called riots. They are "protests". Why the difference? What changed?
Back in the day, the rioting took place mostly in Black neighborhoods and the angry mobs were Blacks. But now, in 2020, many in the angry mobs are white Liberals.
White Liberals...
Black rioters in the '60's and '70's...
White Liberal protesters in 2020.
So if you are Black, then it's riots but if you are White it's just generic vanilla harmless legal protests.
Can anybody think of a better example than this of #WhitePrivilege?
