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?

Here's a surprising report:

Refuse To Social Distance? New Study Says You May Be A Psychopath!

Take a Knee?

Taking a knee has come to symbolize for me the Left's desire to choke the life right out of American liberty.
Choke on that one, freaks.

Musical Masterpiece

Back in my day...
When pop music was pop music,
and masterpieces were masterpieces,
and masters were masters of the trade...
...there was always this debate going on in the shadows about whether musicians of today in any way compare to the masters of old, the great orchestras, the chamber musicians, and all the music scribed by the greats.
You wouldn't have to be much of a modern bluegrass fan to recognize the true mastery of the art of music in this performance:
