As armed far-right and Black groups increase their presence across the US, John Blake fears a confrontation could escalate into violence that erases a summer of racial progress | Analysis

As Election Day draws closer, commentators are issuing apocalyptic warnings about potential coups, street violence and President Trump not conceding if he loses.

But there's another frightening election scenario I dread as a Black man -- and that few people seem to be talking about. It's what happens if an armed Black person clashes with an armed White person at a protest and bullets start flying. Images of such a confrontation could upend the presidential race, hobble Black Lives Matter and undo much of the White support for racial justice that surged during the George Floyd protests this summer.

The leader of the NFAC did not respond to an interview request from CNN. A group of armed Black people also marched earlier this year in Brunswick, Georgia, where Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man, was shot to death after being chased by at least two White men. Not all of these Black groups are challenging White vigilante groups.

$100,000 reward offered in ambush shooting of 2 deputies 02:54The recent shooting in Compton, California, could have a similar impact. On September 12 an unknown person ambushed and seriously wounded two Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies as they sat in their patrol car. Surveillance video caught images of the shooting, but the race of the shooter is unclear.

Racial PROGRESS WTF are you guys smoking over there?

There has been no progress. Destroying cities is not progress. Major corporations closing shops in major cities is not progress. CNN is wrong again

'Summer of racial progress?' It's more like Seattle's Chaz, 'Summer of love.'

Black communities are now closed to private investment and commerce for another 30 years. If you had a job, you won't anymore. To the left, that is a job well done. Everyone pat yourselves on the back and remember where that check comes from. Dependency wins elections.

I like how there’s this fake notion that the country bags progressed on racial issues this summer. We’ve regressed 20 years.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤣🤣🤣 CNN is a joke and must be shutdown

This gif getting a workout today.

This is only the beginning and if the protesters keep it up it will get worse

“BLACK” groups? As in BLM and ANTIFA? In other words, Domestic Terrorists? What $$ have these “groups” donated to the black communities to better enrich their livelihoods $0.

Blm and antifa set us back.

This happened yesterday

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You mean a summer of burning the country to the ground.

Utter fucking bullshit!

There was zero 'racial progress', just hatefilled rioting and looting by criminals. BidenRiots

Racial progress? If CNN thinks rioting and looting has been bringing about racial progress than they are way out of touch with Americans.

You guys are the ones reasonable for stoking racial divisions, don’t kid yourselves.

cnn STOP glorifying and instigating hatred and violence. This isn’t a news story ... it’s propaganda. How about a news story of decency and love? If you look hard enough you will find them. Do better.

As President Trump will soon select a Fourth and most likely a Fifth Supreme Court Justice, the Democrats continue to fall apart at the seams.

Lol 'Summer of racial progess' if that's what you wanna call it 🤣

Oh is that what we had? A summer of racial progress? LOL right

CNN calls this progress. CNNisGarbage

Which summer was that?

The hate groups are all left but we are just about fed up so if we get there it is hell

Stop ur racist bullshit CNN ur fueling the hate as you create it !!!! Can’t wait till people get smart and wipe cnn off the map

The only progress I saw was the media’s progress in furthering their divisive agenda with fake news trash like this

What progress?

what progress

racial progress?!🤔 your viewers are this dumb? jeez the left is completely r€trd€d🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

CNN Is the worst!!!! The white guy pictured is the furthest thing from a racist!!! Nice way to push your agenda to cause divide and chaos!!! Trump is correct! FAKE NEWS!!!!

Satire

WatchRatio

There’s been racial progress?

As Americans and Marxist BLM communists confront each other, Americans Patriots will erase the racist marxists and end the racial divide that BarackObama and the marxist DNC have incited.

Racial 'progress'? There is more crime now than ever before.

If you keep pushing and pushing like the liberals are doing all they're doing is pushing. you keep pushing hard enough and finally you push into a corner the only thing to do is fight. I blame the liberal news for this

Have racial tensions ever been higher in the last 50 years? Have firearm sales ever been higher in the last 50 years? Is that 'progress'? Who has been promoting the riots and fanning the flames with every officer-involved incident, no matter how justified? Did Floyd overdose?

When did this racial progress take effect

Stop Lying and get your timelines straight the Shots were fired at a completely different time and they where only yelling to be heard over the Noise they shook hands moments after the picture you posted was taken. Fake news network stop printing fiction and Liable content.

Erumara1 summer of racial progress, right on the money CNN.

This particular picture is Patriots in Louisville DerbyDay. Why don't you show the goof-troop NFAC if you wanna talk extremists. You are quite Liberal with the use of far-right. PatriotsUnited AngryVikingPatriot

You need to take down this photo and issue and apology to The Angry Viking immediately! Not extremists, not 3%. Get your facts straight before using an image without permission to further your agenda

CNN you are complete trash, you have no idea what TEAM ANGRY VIKING stands for or is about. Before you continue using our platform to push your lies you better check yourself. We Team Viking will not stand for this any longer. I was video proof of the events of derby day.......

Progress.? Progress towards a race war that any fool could have predicted would be the end result. Just as they - BLM, Democrats, Antifa and white supremacists wanted. Everyone else is stuck in the middle as the media try and make us pick sides. You helped cause this CNN.

The right has the guns and while the left has trouble deciding which bathroom they will use, well......

How many lies can be told by one organization ...This is CNN.

mfw both sides will use their token minorities in the rcewr in an operation human shield sort of way.

We not scared of these mothafukas

A summer of racial progress? What summer are they referring to?

So the far right are armed but the blacks are peaceful right? CNN loves to manipulate their headlines to create more tension than Trump ever could. Fake fake fake

Only CNN could come up with this stupid headline

How ask to tweet this BS

The racism in America has been flamed by Trump for the last 4 years. It’s OK to HATE as Trump spews at his rallies. The law and order President supports racist cops and courts. Raise those Confederate flags and statues. We had Black Obama for 8 years and NEVER had this hate!!

'Racial Progress' 🤡

Progress? You misspelled violent BLM riots!

What progress? Some of you at CNN have cased a regression with your rage bait “journalism.”

Can't wait. Got the popcorn ready for an all nighter.

Progress? Burning, looting, rioting and murder are progress to you? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Racial Progress!!! All the rest of the world has seen is rioting and looting.....hang your heads in shame USA!

Thanks for red pilling the world, CNN

Racial progress You on crack?

I just watched a video of Israeli police using skunk water spray on violent protesters. The March ended with no damage to either side.

Rowan Sweeney does his life matter

Racial progress? Do you mean 'decline in racial progress' because 2020 has been one of if not the most racially divided year in the 21st century. Racial tensions and racist attacks are at an all time high in the US

ANTIFA and BLM is NOT PROGRESS, it's VIOLENT! You people are against defending ourselves.

It’s amazing how biased cnn has become

What summer of progress?

A summer of racial progress? For real? You're really going to go with that?

In case you hacks haven't been paying attention these riots have set back race relations decades.

This is the exact opposite of progress.

I suppose if you're trying to bury Western Civilization, then yeah, decent amount of progress. Well done. Important work.

George Soros has managed to divide the races with all his death and destruction

Please list this 'progress' you claim to have discovered

BLM looters are progress? Tell that to the people whose stores have been looted and burnt down.

Racial progress? Guns are selling out around the country. Streets are burning, people are pulled out of their cars and beaten for their color. Some progress.

So Joe biden called our troops yesterday dumb sons of bitches! So if trp would have done that the world would have stopped. Why does joe think that of our troops?! trump2020 he doesn't think that of our troops

It hasn't been right wingers we've been watching destroy the country...

Fast and pray for America in this time of testing and season of trial.

Summer of racial progress meaning Antifa/ BLM rioting, destroying and targeting police and people of every race? People is watching. CNNfakenews

Also add up corona using the number for which each number falls in the alphabet adding 6 because theyr is 6 letters in corona. I just want to know your guys thoughts

The left should leave it alone. Theyll get fd

What far right groups are you referring to?

“Summer of racial progress”? What kind of nonsense is this? We’ve sat her for 3 months as BLM has attacked anything, anyone, and everything that dared disagree with their Marxist agenda. That IS NOT PROGRESS. That is leftist CNN HORSE SHIT!

Have you been paying attention to Portland? To Louisville? To Seattle? Chicago? NYC?

'Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. ' - General James Mattis, USMC ret

Nought a fan of radicalization by cybermedia .

'ERASE...A summer of racial progress'? What progress? Progressives are regressive. They haven't made ANYTHING better, for ANYONE. They created this mayhem & want to put the blame on someone else. walkaway

'Summer of racial progress'

The problem is this when BLM were protesting white/black rioters came out looting. And when the President thought it needed to be over he instructed police and National guard to come to antagonize the protesters and when that didn’t work he instructed them to use tear gas.

You’ve picked your side we can read ......divisive drool of a network.

Why aren’t you reporting on this? Massive numbers of people of all races coming together in prayer in DC RIGHT NOW.

Are you really trying to pretend that even without the right-wing presence there has been non-stop violence from the left? It sure does seem like the ONLY time the media even talks about the violence is when a boogeyman to blame shows up.

Progress? 😂😂😂 you guys are some lame ducks indeed.

Ask! How can someone affect or ruin your life & happiness by being black, latino or gay? They Can't! So why are people racist or bigots? FEAR! Only when you're uncomfortable with yourself & your own abilities can another instill fear or worry inside you. THEY'RE COWARDS!

A summer of racial progress? Lol. No thanks to CNN. You have fanned the flames on the issue for years.

Lying about police shootings 2 divide our Country isnt progress it is merely shifting blame No progress can ever be made until address the real problems inner cities that thrive on hatred,racism,lack of respect, &criminality Police are not the problem but the solution CNN problem

Why do you say 'far right' on one side but ommit far-left when mentioning the other side that has caused so much destruction and violence? Far-left BLM is not suuported by all blacks and does no represent nor fights for the interest of black people as an ethnic group.

Im sorry progress, what progress has been made at all. Not doing anything about the issue isn’t progress.
