rich white people talking about 2020's racial strife as if 2020 was something special and that america's racist bullshit hasn't been an ongoing multi-century slog for millions for generations and counting is... rage-inducing.

it sucks that people are so dumb that they only think about what the news tells them to think about.

@sneak the racial strife for sure was exceptional. To wit:

>Just since June, there has been so much rioting that 200 American cities had to impose curfews and 31 states had to call in the national guard.

@fluffy rioting is a reaction to the longstanding racial strife, and neither is new or in any way a recent development.

@sneak So we have already established the riots are exceptional? Good. Next. Without the media and elites telling minorities that white racism caused them problems they would never have rioted. This is relatively new, a few decades, and denouncements of this type were massively boosted during the trump year.
@sneak Without decades of increasingly brazen media stoking racial strife, we would not have had these exceptional riots in 2020.

That IS something new, and that is why other people (correctly) deduced that something new happened. It wasn't about racial strife, it was about organized media narratives spanning many years.
@sneak the media here intentionally creates racial strife.

@Moon the media didn't create racial strife in the USA.
