The White House remained a fortress, with black fences between seven and nine feet high erected around its perimeter cutting off protesters, as D.C.'s mayor formally renamed the street outside 'Black Lives Matter Plaza'.

when you were given affirmative action, racial quotas, lower rates of interest in mortgages, business loans etc and the list goes on and on so stop blaming others and take responsibility for your self and community.

We are going to find out in about two weeks. These protests are a de facto medical experiment. Either nothing happens and locks downs will end or COVID19 will explode and we all will back to the beginning.

These “protests” are not about Floyd. At this point, they have mainly become street festivals for virtue signaling.

A march for reopening would never have been allowed.

Yep look at the crowd during the day. Mostly white guilt women in their 20’s no job not at school and nothing to do but have a festival, get high and meet others.
