In egg harbor I saw someone with a half American half confederate flag. So weird

That is because they gaslight on the protests to get everyone to ignore the racism.

Racists on one hand and people that don’t see the value of protesting on the other, I think. I’ve seen a lot of the latter over the last ten-ish years. So if it helps, it’s probably not just racists but also cynics.

Thank you for asking the question! Bummed I didn’t see your post until after the Newark protest started.

Imagine someone making this statement, using someone beaten to death then caring about upvotes? Or trying to get upvotes from this tragic incident.

I am all hands down for marches for police reform, meetings for police reform, movement for police reform.

'Protests' for police reform read as riots. It has been since BLM 'protests'.

To partisan idiots. Are you surrounded by idiots who tell you they're all riots and cities are being burned down? Have the courage to correct them. Are you one of those people? Stop it, then.

I wish I could upvote your comment 50x. I've heard comments like that and will correct people when I have the energy. I had started to type a very long response full of examples I have personally witnessed over the last few years, but I'm not going to change any minds here. Racist people are close minded shitheads. I only correct them when they say something to me personally. I cannot tolerate racist people thinking I'm part of their club just because I'm white.

In addition to inability to read, your post history shows you dont know what the word socialism means. You are an a-typical Fox viewer.

I do not get offended when I get insults from people, for it usually means insults is the peak of their intellect.

You sound like the same white people who are now geriatric liars who don’t want to admit that they didn’t in fact support MLK like all of them pretend to when they talk to their grandchildren.
