Yes, anyone can see the violence that happened in Charlottesville and the white supremacist that ran a car into people killing a woman. Anyone can see the 17 year old white supremacist in Kenosha that killed two and injured one. Anyone can see the statistically disproportionate state sponsored violence against minorities that results in their murder on the street during daylight like George Floyd.

Minority votes are being suppressed, they make less money than their white counterparts, they have less access to higher education, less access to nutritious food, and they’re disproportionately dying during a pandemic.

But sure, let’s ignore reality and talk about your narrow view on housing prices and police “protection”.



> white supremacist in Kenosha

[citation needed]



Nothing in that link provides any evidence that KR is a white supremacist.


A 17 year old drives across state lines, goes to a city meets up with a militia that has ties to white supremacy and neo-Nazis, then kills two people and injures a third.

If you don’t see the issues there, you’re part of the problem.


> across state lines

Kenosha is right next to the state border; he lived close to Kenosha on the other side of that border. What does it matter that he crossed state lines?

> kills two people and injures a third

All of whom were violently attacking him (one of them with a gun), as can be seen from numerous videos of the incident.

> ties to white supremacy and neo-Nazis

[citation still needed]

> you’re part of the problem

I'm proud to be part of the problem if the opposite of "problematic" is to accept provocative claims without evidence.


> minorities... make less money than their white counterparts

Are Asians not in the minority anymore?


“If you compare whites and Asian Americans with the same amount of schooling, Asian Americans actually make less money.”

Well that makes the success of Asian Americans even more remarkable, given that elite schools across the country routinely discriminate against them

2020, when being against white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and state sponsored violence against minorities makes one a “leftists extremists”.
