I know people will say that I sound like a broken record, but...yeah...certain people already had claimed that unrest is a fault of White people.

Its not like South Africa and other colonies had almost 50 years to fix themselves or anything. But nope apparently, if country controlled by a horrible dictator and people are OK with it is somehow White people's fault.

Wtf is going on. It's like everyone everywhere is just rioting now all of a sudden. Like why now? Cuba, Haiti, now South Africa? So like... Is Corona gone or something?

Over 120 are dead. Always blows my mind people are willing to lose their life for a riot...something people will forget about in a week or two.

It always blows my mind when I read the death count of these events, it's such a waste of life. This is why I never stepped one foot into a protest/rally/march of any kind in my entire life and never will.

Those are consequences of covid.
Economy is tanking, government uses oppressive measures to keep population under control and remove opposition.

People being pissed at this and there you go - riots. No-one cares about threat of deadly virus, when you don't have food or money to feed yourself and your family. Might as well destroy ****, since there is nothing to lose.
