Admittedly, I'm not watching news reports; I don't follow social media. But, "ethnic minorities" behind the looting, arson and violence?
If I'm not mistaken, Hanni, I think what you mean is racial and ethnic minorities are behind what's going on in our cities. That would mean American Indians, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and SW Asians predominantly Indians with a few Arabs and also from the ME, Jews. You just are choosing your words carefully to avoid calling out AAs or other "minorities" claiming to be that along with being oppressed by whites.
Non-Hispanic Whites are moving towards, if not already there, losing the majority status they enjoyed since the beginning of the 20th century. As the century began, the U.S. population was 87 percent white. Presently, non-Hispanic whites will make up a slim and fading majority of Americans. But it's a very diverse racial and ethnic mix of what will become the majority in the collective to replace non-Hispanic whites. I don't see this as a situation that brings an end to the America you and I both know.
So, it seems Hannibal sees a culture war behind this week's riots. I can buy "the left" as I believe talent is describing them, is stupidly protesting the liberal government officials they elected and such officials having run cities into the ground and enabled police officers to be hired to the law enforcement force who are themselves criminals.
What I don't believe is happening is that racial and ethnic minorities - normal everyday people, even those frustrated unemployed, less than normal because of COVID - are engaged in an all-out culture war and are the ones behind the arson, looting and violence. There are other forces here and I've defined who I think the collective of those agitators are.
There's plenty of evidence that those forces are present in the US and by this I mean the misfits, anarchists and crazies associated with domestic terror groups. There's also recent evidence that our foreign adversaries are involved in activities that are socially and economically disruptive. There's no evidence, that I am aware of that "ethnic minorities" are the perps here.
There may be some black activists that support violent actions to achieve their objectives involved but I'm not going to discriminate those types from domestic terrorist groups. The arson looting and violence that's happening nationwide and prompting Governors to activate their state's National Guard is activity that, historically, is an outlier. This isn't about pissed off blacks seeking justice. Those people are, for the most part, protesting in non-violent ways.
Of course, there are the sheeple of all colors and races and the agitators use them and they are unknowingly being used. But I don't think for a moment that this is going down because blacks feel oppressed and are seeking some kind of justice by burning down their neighborhoods. I also don't see the rioting as an indicator of a culture war from which we are unable "to see a way forward." That's throwing one's hands up and surrendering to the agitators and that is exactly what they want you to do.
To the rest of the world, the United States is a grand and daring experiment. No other country has so successfully blended so many people of different races and cultures. At a time when racial and ethnic rivalries are promoting violence here, now and around the globe, how Americans handle the necessary transition to a multiracial society that is racially and ethnically diverse has implications that extend far beyond U.S. borders. Our enemies home grown and foreign wish to keep us from achieving it.
