“We have reached a crux where we must choose between potentially losing our lives at the hands of the police or the pandemic,” said Chelsea Miller, a leading organizer in the city who heads up Freedom March NYC.

“I was crying about it earlier, but the thing is, it’s not just my uncle,” she said. “Ask any black person here. They have a story, a family member that was affected by police. There’s a reason this is happening.”

New York City began sharing data in April that showed black and Hispanic people made up the majority of the COVID-19 deaths in the city. That trend continued through May and into June. It has not been lost on demonstrators that those most affected by the pandemic have largely been minorities, as well.

Some doctors and nurses have also stood at the doors of their city medical centers this week and applauded the marchers, who often cheered them right back.

PhilMcCausland You Dems will just abort them anyway.

PhilMcCausland All this chaos was caused by the Deepstate Democrats with the help of China. The death of George Floyd was done intentionally to cause riots and looting. Wonder why Democrats passed all these new gun laws while we were on lockdown. Scripted by the Democrats.

PhilMcCausland Yep, but they won't, they keep hitting the snooze button!

PhilMcCausland Nothing as dangerous as a WOKE pasty DUDE.

PhilMcCausland I’m literally shaking right now

PhilMcCausland bunch of jobless kids that played so much video games&smoked so much weed that they think this is also a game,thinking this is like shit whole house they grew up in,rules are not the same,dont think u get to run it however u want,we’re not ur parents,will teach u a painful lesson

PhilMcCausland You can add a 3rd. Trumpism

PhilMcCausland Get rid of trump to overcome both...

PhilMcCausland

PhilMcCausland Such heroes, it was a different story from you when people protested in cities not overwhelmed by the ccp virus cases. The recent protests were in national hot spots. BTW, ran by democrats...

PhilMcCausland We are awake, we know that democratic cities where the majority of blacks live have done. OTHING to improve their lives and certainly not their EDUCATION

PhilMcCausland this is really stupid

PhilMcCausland It really seems like White people are the only ones not in on the con.

PhilMcCausland What is going on here is a desperate attempt at instigating a race war by the far left and aided by left leaning new outlets. Welcome to Rome, the date is 476.

PhilMcCausland White America starts with Donald J. Trump. He will never come to grips with his racism. He’s to dumb to realize that he is a racist. And that’s the most dangerous kind of dumb man.

PhilMcCausland I'm at the point to where I want to wear an armband or something to express I'm not Karen...basically something that would be the opposite of a red hat.

PhilMcCausland Loud voices on lockdowns quickly forgot their calls. Total joke!

PhilMcCausland You misspelled fascism

PhilMcCausland Why not choose the lives of all.

PhilMcCausland Really

PhilMcCausland Since when did the Democrat Party care about the unborn? They put PP clinics in every Black Neighborhood? Now they are telling them to protest after telling us Blacks were more susceptible to Coronavirus and died at a higher rate. Tell me who they care about?

PhilMcCausland And empty store shelves.

PhilMcCausland

PhilMcCausland Your parents are probably embarassed.

PhilMcCausland JESUS CHRIST--THE CURE FOR RACISM

PhilMcCausland As business owners get arrested

PhilMcCausland The lockdown hoax is over. Democrats blew it up in order to burn down businesses about to reopen.

PhilMcCausland NBC = NONSENSE

PhilMcCausland You mean unfettered abortions through birth

PhilMcCausland GOP racist and realDonaldTrump RacistInChief . Bullying protestors and blubbering on about Democrats but ignoring the problems causing protests. 👇PoliceBrutality

PhilMcCausland Dumbassery at its best,

PhilMcCausland Can we talk about how you are more likely to be murdered by a black person than a white person? And how are 6% of the population responsible for 50% of the murder? And if the death rate from cops to blacks is 'systemic racism' how are these two other facts not?

PhilMcCausland Gotta love the White Guilt that's pervasive amongst the progressives.

PhilMcCausland How can people protest climate change & then protest & throw their trash all over the place? What are we? Barbarians! They should be identified & made to clean it up. It’s ridiculous & hypocritical!

PhilMcCausland That is a ridiculous statement. Anyone who talks like that has lost their capacity to reason in favor of an ideological commitment.

PhilMcCausland Nice to see they are becoming prolife - Let's all get behind saving their unborn sons - 100%

PhilMcCausland Both being pushed by Democrats. Makes sense.

PhilMcCausland It’s not racism! This young lady said some valid good points on the real challenges facing black Americans, and she says, it’s not the police. She made me think about it. Just hearing a different perspective. Having an open mind.

PhilMcCausland That picture alone is insulting and offensive to the white community...well, if we actually had a community and cared what 'progressives' thought about us.

PhilMcCausland I like that sign...wake up white america.....that’s a Klan saying, are we just so stupid it’s terrifying. None of those people would live in a black community. They would move in and chase all the blacks out though. Look at Kingston, Poughkeepsie,Beacon and at some point Newburgh

PhilMcCausland Lolwut

PhilMcCausland But aren’t you protestors also for killing your unborn sons? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Justsayin COVID19 protests2020

PhilMcCausland Those unborn sons that Planned Parenthood is waiting for?

PhilMcCausland “In many ways we’re choosing between the lives of our unborn sons and those of our parents,' Wait, these are pro-life protesters?

PhilMcCausland Well it’s definitely not single parent households

PhilMcCausland And neither are real as they wish.

PhilMcCausland Leftists are the most racist group of people I've met

PhilMcCausland Well, they are in democrat led cities. The rest of the country is enjoying life.

PhilMcCausland Baloney. My sister lived in New York for years and called it the least racist place she ever lived in becasue there were so many different cultures mixing in with each other it was next to impossible to form a group to stand against another, you had to get along it was survival.

PhilMcCausland

PhilMcCausland So then they’re against abortion, correct?

PhilMcCausland Racism even though more whites are killed by poly than blacks?

PhilMcCausland Po test

PhilMcCausland Trump love you all..Stop protest.

PhilMcCausland Yeah... Rich White College Kids in ANTIFA are burning down minority neighborhoods because BlackLivesMatter

PhilMcCausland “Wake up white america”. Yes please. Wake up. You are not responsible for the for others bad fortune and/or decisions. Your skin doesn’t require youto apologize for a thing. Can’t believe this has to be said.

PhilMcCausland they are not white and black look to colors carefully

The hands of globalism and it's gods?

Don't forget that this president has been stoking the fire of racism and hatred for the past 4 years. He needs to be held responsible! In order to change he must go!

Is this the beautiful United States of America that Hong Kong protesters yearn for? The sweet air seems to stink

WE ALL CONDEMNED THOSE ASSHATS ON THE RIGHT FOR DOING THIS NO WE ARE CELEBRATING IT? CALLING THEM BRAVE? THIS IS HOW WE LOSE IN NOVEMBER

Because both have killed so many young twenty- somethings.

The president should now stand on the side of the people, not the police. This is not Hong Kong, This is USA, we Americans are not traitors, not thugs

They're not just risking they're own lives, they're risking everyone's lives. Or so we were previously told

InterdependenceWhores using race for they agenda, nothing new here. All hail To THEMAN and THENUMBEROFHISNAME

This is not rational. 100,000 people died in 2 months from covid. Cops kill 1000 people per year.

Its time to get off the street. There's an obvious problem and it's getting worse daily. George has been honored. georgefloydfuneral People captured the problem on their cell phones, its big. Bigger than we expected.

Soul singer Sly Stone once said, 'Stand, you've been sitting much too long, there's a permanent crease in your right or wrong'‼️ 'Bad things happen when good people do nothing;' thank you for getting WOKE‼️💞

And thats bravery, standing up to almost certain harm for your beliefs. Bravery is not shooting people in the back, pushing 85 year old men to the pavement, or any other example of brutality by police knowing they won't be held accountable.

Anti-white racism is normalized if you think that whites are objects whose only legitimate existence means they are only allowed to parrot the BLM narrative.

This is not about racism. This is about our country coming together as a whole. Shift the narrative and stop trying to divide our country. We all share one common ground that being our nationality. Patriots, it's time to stand up for what is ours. KAG2020

Or rioters.
