Compassion through social strife

[Spaced]

I'm sorry if I'm not being loving enough when communicating this point, but when you refer to protesters (99.9% of which are peaceful) as "demonic Antifa thugs" you are delegitimizing their entire movement by creating a bogeyman. You are also dehumanizing (or in your case, literally demonizing) the protesters themselves and creating seperation.

What you are seeing is a popular reaction to decades (centuries really) of oppression. It's an expression of pain and suffering that has reached it's boiling point. There are protests in all 50 states. This isn't the work of "demonic antifa thugs" but of everyday American citizens.

If the nation wants to heal the voices of the oppressed have to be heard, instead they are being violently silenced by the police who would rather hospitalize and arrest thousands of American citizens than prosecute their own who commit murder in broad daylight.

You can talk about love and forgiveness all day but it's worthless if you are blind to the reality of the situation.

Edit: sorry I realize my posts are going against the spirit of this thread please feel free to delete them. I would like to add that I am very hopeful about everything that is happening now, that this catalyst will not be ignored.
