    Just don't call them "thugs". The PC word is "protesters".

    My thing is, if you're gonna say thugs, just take the plunge and say blacks. Coded language is annoying as shit.

    White people are looting too.

    Just like last week blacks were protesting too but it was just those crazy whites wanting to go back to work

    Evidently the vast majority of people arrested at these riots have Minnesota addresses.

    *Just to clarify I'm not jumping in the deep end claiming VolDad is a racist. I think my post sounded like that and I promise I'm not doing that*

    But it's still coded language. People use it to toe the line while they shitpost on Twitter. It's annoying.

    I was nice seeing Atlantans showing up today with brooms, cleaning supplies, etc.; cleaning up the streets and businesses.

    Burning private property is crossing the line on protesting.

    I get burning the police station and government buildings you’re fighting against

    I am not a racist; I have a black friend. :)

    I do see a distinction between 1) protesters and 2) those burning, breaking, stealing, robbing, hurting, etc.

    I have no issue supporting 1) and calling 2) thugs.

    This is kinda based off how and where you grew up. Biggest punk thugs i was around growing up where lanky white dudes who would fight or steal from anybody down hickory hill and ridgeway where we lived.

    After a rise in 2017 from 2016. What happened between those two years?

    Wait, what?

    Thugs should be assumed to mean only blacks?

    Synthesize your point for me.

    How about burning a row of affordable housing?

    Followup: What if you’re angry about an egregious injustice?
