Hey, instead of defending Antifa, get rid of their influence by condemning them by name. That is a start. If you truly want peace, root out the violence by identifying its source.

Too late for that you fight racist killings with a strong message 💪

Peaceful protesters intercept a white saboteur. Who is he? What he want to do? GeorgeFloyd BlackLivesMatter

Amen. 🙏🏻

Vote realDonaldTrump

JOHN LEWIS, HAS WORDS OF WISDOM, TRUMP LACKS THAT!! TRUMPS WORDS OF WISDOM ARE THUGS AND ANIMALS 🙄🤦‍♀️

See that message is really working out. You listening Antifa, another message for you. HHHEEEELLLOOO? Great!

Misty__Bella And in the same breath, let’s blame Trump. Hypocrites.

Tell that to the business owner who was stomped to death last night... in public ... by thugs and cowards. Where is his justice? What did he do to deserve a draconian, filthy sentence? Oh... sorry... he isn't a colored man.

Liberals...you have created Frankenstein and he has returned to the laboratory.

Martin Luther King's words still seem to be in ears, America is still that one, I have a dream.....

JoeNBC It is going to be worse than ‘68 because of the Orange man. No leadership. Only hate. No empathy. Only hate.

Criminals.

Nonviolence has not worked, obviously.

I love all peoples regardless of their race, religion, sexuality, they residence etc. As long as you respect peoples,” and have a great character, I wouldn’t care a fuck, if you were purple, as long as you respect society. Trump era this racism shit done flew through the roof!

JoeNBC Why are we not shaming these protesters like we are with people gathering during a pandemic?

JoeNBC how long it's been 50 plus years not enough change!

Very well said! God Bless America

Representative John Lewis is an American HERO💙🇺🇸💙

In The WORDS Of Martin Luther King jr. 'An Eye For an Eye Only Leaves Everybody Blind' GeorgeFloydprotest HonorGeorgeFloyd BLACK_LIVES_MATTER

Everyone involved in organizing, financing and supporting this anarchy and chaos needs to be rounded up, their finances and connections probed and charges brought. This includes the political and media class

😂

You ain’t black.

Hard Pass. Real change can only come from the barrel of a gun. We tried peaceful protest and white ppl said that was divisive. We tried legislation and it got shut down in senate. Only thing left is for people to rise up demand change by any means necessary.

To everyone peacefully protesting, stay safe!

Lots of white supremacist here Msm will ALWAYS produce bad RACIST information Msm is the true virus and the true enemy of law abiding 🇺🇸 Citizens

One bad apple won’t represent the whole basket 🧺, he was acting as how ISIS doing , both are devils

Rep. Anthony Brown: 'The hotspots right now seem to be in communities of color'Maryland Rep. Brown: “This is a sad moment in the history of this country, where a disproportionate number of African American men are dying at the hands of the police. And African Americans more broadly, are dying by the harm of a virus.” How many Americans have died by illegals and you fucktards did nothing. They're not African American, they're American, just like I'm not German American, I'm American... you're either African or American, you CAN'T be both. If this is the case, African Americans are dying, where are their state and federal representatives. Protesting doesn’t work. These groups need leadership. The obvious response is to vandalize and destroy your city and neighborhoods.

Religious exemptions are gutting civil rights protections, advocacy groups warnThe Trump admin.'s expansion of religious exemptions is undermining civil rights protections and codifying discrimination against marginalized groups — particularly LGBTQ people — according to a report by 3 research and advocacy groups. - NBCOUT NBCOUT It always disgusts me that 'religious freedom' (religion is a choice) takes precedence over LGBT rights (being LGBT is not a choice.) Very backwards system we have going on! NBCOUT This is abuse of power for religious sinners to discriminate LGBT communities. NBCOUT Pandering to the base! A supposed pro-life political party who's leader openly encouraged sacrificing lives for economic reasons. The base will not care, they have lost all capability in reason, objectivity and intelligence.
