INSANE Video Shows Mob RANSACK Store While Woman TWERKS On Counter, Democrats PROTECT

Mob Ransacks Convenient Store

This must be because of the white supremacists. Or maybe it's the misogynists'. It must be.... well unless of course it's the white supremacists in which case it was definitely not the misogynists'. Well. It could be the supremely white misogynists', of course. It could be them. I mean they. Um. Them. They them. It's probably because of that. They.

Yeah, we definitely need to look inward for the answer.

Yeah. Exactly.

Exactly. No "facepalm" emoji does the real response to that justice.

People are so damn selfish. I hate to wish harm on anyone but she'll never learn 'everything isn't about her' as well as common sense to GTFO during that madness unless one of the looters bop her.

Why weren't the cops called in?

Ugh....

Yeah I really don't want to make those kinds of comments or jokes comparing people to animals, but ugh... most of the times these looters turn out to be all of a certain race... and I mean, if they don't want people to make those kinds of racist comparisons or racists statements, they're really NOT helping their case when they act like this.

Like how many cases do you need to show that no, it's not a stereotype, a lot of certain type of people really do act this way.

It’s not about their color it’s about the community and the culture.

If you’re not raised that way, you aren’t going to behave that way. Doesn’t matter what your skin color is.

Exactly. I knew plenty of white people from the "wrong side of the tracks" in the town I grew up in who would act exactly the same or even worse.

But of course, the real problem are the folks who jump in and disingenuously call you a racist the moment you even begin to construct a sentence along those lines, all while gleefully and deliberately ignoring the actual issue.

They were. Eventually they dispersed the crowd and no arrests were made.

True, but we haven't really seen too many mostly white looters and rioters. You know the media would LOVE for that to happen so they can continue with the 'all whites are evil' narrative.

BOOM! Aqua drops the truth bomb! I'll be damned.....

And this right here is the point I'm routinely making behind my artistically-word-woven posts and allusions to the kinds of experiences we've all had at some point or another (i.e., 'it's like that guy who...' or 'it's like that kid you knew in grammar school who...').

BOOM!

We haven't seen white looters and rioters being encouraged to mostly peacefully burn cities down in the name of a racist hashtag, either. I'm sure that has something to do with it.

But then the counter-argument is always "it's because of inequality and inequity that the community and culture is in such a state of disrepair."

That is the counter-argument. You are right.

But the reality is that everyone makes their own choices revealing who and what they are.
