As Brower pointed out, "Before George Floyd’s death, the KKK, the Neo Nazi and Antifa seemed to enjoy having fist fights with each other. Before and after, bad cops would murder minorities. Nuts would shoot up a social club, or drive though a crowd. Rural racists would pile into pick up trucks and shoot paint balls into protestors. Folks plotted to kidnap and kill a governor. Then there was the racist organizations in the January 6th insurrection." Violence from your side is incomparably worse. 

"In each crisis, the greatest flaw in the culture is removed.  You might think of yourself as representing the greatest flaw in the culture." Your white-right culture needs to be removed or defanged, and voted out of office. You say, "it's just a matter of time before the American Right starts using it too. Basically, what's good for the gander is good for the goose mutually applies and only a Libtard or blue triber would view that standard as wrong or unfair these days." So, don't say that you are not part of that potential white-right violent revolt, whatever excuse you might use.

Meanwhile, most of the people I hang out with these days sing about unity and kumbaya and speak about reverence for diversity, and most of them are white. You call it hate because it might threaten YOUR hate.

Are you saying Nancy, Chuck, Kamala. Maxine, AOC, Omar, Talib, Al Sharpton, Antifa and BLM leaders were actually Right Wing provocateurs because that's who we  saw using inflammatory rhetoric and inciting the riots, fanning the flames, cheering them on, making sorry ass  excuses for them and even  bailing them out. So, what's your real problem? I wonder why the mound of rubble that you're on that you've portrayed as a mountain is on the verge of collapsing? We may prolong the inevitable for a few more years to allow time for our people to get out of Dodge before its to late.

No, they weren't doing that, and no, the provocateurs were young right-wingers who fanned the violence on-site, and yes, there were good reasons for black people to be angry. If you don't know why, you are deaf and blind. BLM is a non-violent movement that says that Black Lives Matter. Antifa is anti-fascism and confronts fascists. The focus needs to be on the problem, not on complaining about protests against the problem.

"Dodge" is our whole planet, on the verge of becoming uninhabitable for us because of your neo-liberal, trickle-down philosophy that lets the polluters off the hook in the name of less government and free enterprise. There's really no way for us to get out of it.

Critical race theory is needed to show how racism has become embedded in our society, through red-lining/environmental racism, racial profiling/criminal and police injustice, and the wealth gap/discrimination, etc. This is part of our history. It should be taught in schools, but that doesn't mean that specific remedies are taught. It's probably against the law to lobby students to support particular legislation, and what to do about this "systemic racism" remains up for debate and consideration. Trump-type Republicans generally don't want to do anything about it, and are reluctant to even be informed about it.
