protests there was a video of a white guy clad in all black systematically walking down a block and breaking all the windows in an AutoZone store. It's as if there is some shadowy umbrella organization that messages operative to cause destruction during the protest to damage the credibility of the movement.

There was one also of two white women tagging stores with BLM grafitti and two black women told them to stop because black people would be blamed.

similar often repeated "black on black crime" and not "white on white crime". some phrases are only applied to POC, black people in particular.

what a shame. Last night they were so self-righteously indignant. Funny how when the assumption is the arson is black, it's about 'them', and 'their cause'. If the arsonist turns out to be white, poor thing stands all alone. Doesn't seem fair.
