What I Saw Outside of the Donald Trump Rally in Kansas City

[Jacque67 7,328]

I just got back, I do have other things to do, ya know? Not many other things, but a few.

Ok. Lib filled me in.

This could take the thread a whole new direction-lol

Why are these protesters actually in the rally, why aren't they outside the rally protesting?

Option 1

I know that was a rhetorical question. We all know why they are in the rally, because they want to be disruptive and incite a reaction. BLM is like a wrecking ball. Wrecking balls were built for one thing: to wreck. The ball doesn't care if it's knocking down a trashed old building or a brand new mansion, a church or a warehouse. It just tries to plow through whatever it is pointed at, blind and crude. It is somewhat guided, but a crude tool, and always does what the crane operator tells it to. BLM was born from a lie (Michael Brown was a key foundation a couple of years back, with autopsy and all investigations showing how the official BLM position was complete rubbish) and continues to promote the lie. As pointed out, BLM is more obsessed with Trump than the score upon score of black people killed by other black people since he's been running. As always, the answer to why this is so is lazy and uncompelling. Instead of laser guided attacks at legitimate grievances such as disproportionate violence from police directed at blacks--using specific examples of this when it actually happened--it has morphed into a general complaint megaphone, airing grievances of all kinds, some real, some imagined. Mainly now a vehicle for some particularly angry and hateful black people to complain to whites about their being white. But this is what happens when there are no strong, true, principled black leaders to rise up like there have been in the past. Martin Luther King Jr's 10 commandments have been trashed long, long ago.

Option 2

I had an answer but since I'm white it's complete rubbish and my opinion cannot possibly be of any value to anybody.

Was immediately attracted to option 2. Short and sweet.

Apologies for autocorrect.

You're welcome! I wanted an option available for the low information readers. In retrospect I could have put it first to help out even more.

Sigh, another white guy who doesn't get it. Unfortunately, his whiteness means he doesn't understand what it's like to not be white, and he's incapable, by virtue of his skin color which always led to privileged experiences, from ever understanding. He'll just have to take my word for it: he's a profound racist and part of the problem. If he can give in to this, despite any argument that passes the sniff test, maybe we can move forward. And no argument need pass the sniff test. My experiences and feelings cannot be distilled down to objective facts. It's my right to feel how I feel regardless of facts. His disavowed racism is plain to see. He even chose a background for his video that is a slightly off-white, a form of microaggression. The subject of that background, a map showing some of the places of imperialism was also a microaggression. His repetition of the term white was a microaggression as well, and this is no longer a safe space for me.
