There's been a bit of that. It seems that they are over their heads and don't have the cognitive capacity to separate one potential threat from another.
True.
It's different when it's state-sponsored violence versus community self-inflicted violence. Not that the latter is excusable or any better, as a death is a death. But no system is fair when the former happens... that just tilts the playing field regardless of how you play in it.
Crime is like coronavirus though. It all depends on where your attention is at. If you look at crime by material volume versus incident, you probably have a solid case that a lot of white-collar white criminals get away with murder. Maybe that's more economics than racism. But there's a long history of racism no doubt.
Hell, the entire state of Oregon made non-whites essentially illegal in the 1800s through policy. And selective enforcement is real, not imaginary.
There is definitely some racism going around. But there is a problem of proportions and perception. It's complex, and humans love to paint things with broad brushes in overly simplistic terms. We're wired for that.

I think they may not be loving it as much, but they’re still loving the fact that they are triggering and trolling their political nemeses.
American politics is now like Bill Murray vs the gophers in Caddy Shack. Even blowing up your own yard is redeemable as long as you can score some troll points.

I just hope that her and @ALC 's wedding is before election season, it could really put a damper on things for them.
At this point, I would vote the Momo Challenge for President.
It’s amazing how predictably dumb all these people are. Blaming some fictitiously organized Antifa to play into conspiracy theories because people simply cannot live with themselves thinking protest and chaos is possible without a dark hand of control.
The idea of the out of state professionals coming in to town to stir up trouble...cousin to the homeless problem in town that only comes from out of town. Somehow there’s a complicit agreement that all these central state commands of antifa forces cannot be seen in their own states so that they have to coordinate a national, multi-state caravan and swap.
Never could any of that happen here! Just like when China was blaming funding and organizing from the US for all the Hong Kong protests.
People really are that gullible and refuse to believe anything else but conspiracy theories make sense.
