Their free speech was being able to chant their hateful rhetoric in public, display their imagery of hate groups/militias. To allow this march in Charlottesville to continue is implying that this speech is acceptable; this speech said by groups who think minorities are subhuman. They think they have a right to kill black people because they think all black people are criminals.
We’re talking about hate speech, not the riotous actions of Antifa and BLM which is also bad. We should understand why riots happen rather than just saying “look they’re setting cop cars on fire”. Well, why are they setting cop cars on fire? It’s a violent response to police brutality which is what sparked these protests and riots, i.e. the murder of George Floyd.
Once again, I didn’t bring up the COVID vaccines and that wasn’t what I was referring to in the beginning. My point about the COVID vaccine being politicised was in regards to politicians turning vaccine hesitancy into a political battleground. Rather than allowing people to ask questions to health care professionals and get an informed response, rhetoric was used to tell people what to think rather than ask questions. That’s the politicisation I was talking about.
The division you’re talking about has been there since black people were used as slaves. It’s systemic and it was put there intentionally because black people were never thought as equal to white people. Why do you think black people are overwhelmingly targeted by police? Disproportionately put into prisons? Your anecdotal experience of the 90s tells me nothing of well-documented racism against black people and other marginalised groups for decades.
It was only a matter of time until the anger boile overd. It just happened to be George Floyd’s murder that incited it.
