Amid protests over the killings of Black citizens that have lasted almost a month, President Trump retweeted videos of Black men attacking white victims in separate incidents — one of which occurred last year — while wondering why they did not spark protests like the nationwide demonstrations over the death of George Floyd.
Shortly after 10:30 p.m. Monday, the president retweeted a Twitter thread about an October 2019 incident in which a 28-year-old Black man was seen on a video pushing a white woman on a subway platform in Brooklyn.
“So terrible!” Trump tweeted.
The woman was not hurt. The man, described by authorities as a known subway recidivist offender, was later arrested and charged with assault.
Floyd was killed in May by a Minneapolis police officer who pinned him to the ground by kneeling on his neck, and the protests that ensued were directed at official acts of brutality against Black people, or those specifically motivated by racism, not random episodes of violence.
The president then retweeted a viral video of a Black man attacking a white employee at a Macy’s in Flint, Mich., on June 15.
“Looks [sic] what’s going on here,” Trump tweeted. “Where are the protesters? Was this man arrested?”
Police in Flint say they have identified two men whom they are looking for in connection with the case.
The video clip was posted by Matt Walsh, a conservative blogger, who tweeted: “This guy brutally assaulted a Macy’s employee because of his race and then slandered him by claiming he said the n-word, which was a lie. This is a horrific hate crime and if the races were reversed it would be the only thing we talk about for days.”
Trump has a long history of stoking divisiveness when it comes to race, and it predates...

The left does not want its hypocrisy highlighted.
Where are the protesters? We’re here posting on FR.
Yeah like Barry never stoked racial divisiveness.
Time to have a beer summit.
But it’s OK when Nancy Pelosi says that Republicans are trying to get away with murder when a black man is shot by a cop, and Chuck Schumer agrees with her. Democrats are doing whatever they can to stoke the fires.
“Trump has a long history of stoking divisiveness when it comes to race...”
When you bring up uncomfortable, “sensitive” facts, you’re being “divisive.”
Gotta stick with the narrative.
Yahoo fake news never disappoints. They can be counted upon to spew out anti White racist garbage together with a healthy dose nasty Trump hate every single time.
It's “divisive” when you even mention that Whites are getting viciously attacked and murdered by blacks, but perfectly fine for Jussie Smollet to totally manufacture a “racist attack” out of thin air.
President Trump pointing out the utter hypocrisy of the Marxist Left will further enrage them. Which I’m totally fine with. The more enraged and outraged they are the more and more the average person will see for themselves what life would be like with these lunatics in control.
Notice the article states, President Trump, known for his divisiveness, ...which is code for he disagrees with us on the Lunatic Left therefore, HE is divisive.
If you say _anything_ that does not totally parrot the leftist approved (and mass media approved) narrative, you are being “divisive”.
The left has been playing this game for _decades_, and President Trump is the first president who has refused to be intimidated by these tactics.
the protests that ensued were directed at official acts of brutality against Black people, or those specifically motivated by racism, not random episodes of violence.
**********************************************************************************************
First point-the motivation for any violence is in the mind of the perpetrator so there’s no way for the author to know that the attacks were not motivated by hate. In fact, I would assume that most violent attacks against people involve some sort of hate.
Second point - Media coverage and protests seem to occur when it will advance a political message for the left-not just against “official” actions. Random violence against gays?
Third point, this is standard procedure for Election years-I think of it as DemocRAT -get out the vote efforts.
Fourth point-some very strange things about that Video - one being the pose for the camera by the kneeling police officer - looking straight into the camera-not the least concerned about the video and no other officer telling them to stop taping, no insistence that they get back(establishing a perimeter), and letting it continue unobstructed-didn’t even step in front of the camera view.
I could go on, but I have better fish to fry.
Where were the protests for 31-year-old black Ayoola A. Ajay who horrendously murdered Utah college student Mackenzie Lueck June 2019. Police say Lueck’s remains were found burned at the home of Ajayi, who’s charged in her death.
Where were the protestors of Jussie Smollett who falsely lied accusing two innocent white men of “yelling out racial and homophobic slurs” and who he deceitfully lied saying they “poured an unknown chemical substance on him and lied saying they began to beat him “about the face with their hands” and used their hands, feet, and teeth as weapons in the assault. He lied further by tying a white rope around his neck. He further added insult to innocent Trump supporters! when he falsely said that the attack may have been motivated by his criticism of Trump and that he believed that the alleged assault was linked to the threatening letter that was sent to him earlier that month. On 3-26-19, all charges filed against him were dropped, with a judge ordering the public court file sealed. On 4-12-19, the city of Chicago claimed the cost of overtime authorities expended investigating the alleged attack, …. as $130,105.15. The Mayor-elect said in a statement: “We’ve got a lot of things on our plate, a lot of pressing issues that are truly affecting people’s lives. This doesn’t rank as a matter of any importance to me.” This is why I say if this was truly about justice, protestors would protest about all injustice.
Reports of crimes against whites from other races could go on and on.
Trump is making a point. He made the right point.
Protestors for justice would protest any race wrongfully treated.
Better yet, people of God, instead of protesting will do what Jesus did,
“Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”
Dear Lord,
Please forgive our sin. Help us all to turn back to You.
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Would have been smarter to tweet about the blacks killed by rioters in Missouri and California.
There is definite anti-white racism out there. In fact, it seems to be everywhere now. Trump is the only one with the gohonas to point it out.
What else can you do at this point? You have to stand by the truth. And the truth is these riots and statue destruction are unjust and racist.
One man's divisiveness is another man's pointing out hypocrisy, inconsistencies and double-standards on the part of demonicRATS, The Fake News Media and the professional grievance industry.
Yet....the leftist article claims that it is Trump who "has a long history of stoking divisiveness when it comes to race".
Meanwhile, hateful racist attacker gets a complete pass (no arrests, so far.) And, lefty, fake news Yahoo gets a pass for making the false 'Trump/divisive' claim.
See how that lefty disinformation operation works?
“Trump has a long history of stoking divisiveness when it comes to race”
Yahoo and the rest of the leftist propaganda media believe they have a monopoly on stoking divisiveness when it comes to race, although of course they also stoke hatred, resentment, violence, destruction, theft, and delusion thinking based on heavily biased and misleading information. The propaganda press has a lot of blood and suffering on its hands already, yet they keep projecting their tactics on the president.
I think Trump’s instincts are good here. Even many white Democrats are angry about how they’re being treated.
So truth is lies....
Orwell smiles....
