A shit flinging contest is the outcome one gets from a discussion between camps that are so utterly convinced of their moral superiority.
How are the protest leaders going to handle the uptick in Covid cases due to the protest? Honestly how do they manage the backlash if people attack them saying for the miniscule amount of people police brutality kills compared to the number they pin on them with covid deaths? How about the second shut down because you know they are getting blamed for it if the media is fair?
That's quite a ridiculous non-sequitur, but okay. Anyway.
The point being that national pride and ignoring national guilt are mutually exclusive. If you want to claim responsibility for the good things a country has done, you also need to accept responsibility for its sins.
Which is besides the point since the issue is not that, but how believing and repeating lies which are foundational to systemic racism is the default for white people in a system that encourages a belief in their inherent superiority.

We'll definitely be seeing a spike of infections in the next 2 weeks.
Pssst.
Do you know who is driving these protests? Black and Latino people.
Do you know who is disproportionately at risk from COVID, are well aware of that, and that is part of the systemic racism these protests are demanding be addressed?
Also Black and Latino people.
Your "silent majority" doesn't exist, dude.

Question. Did you show this level of concern when a bunch of white idiots were protesting the lock down with guns drawn, the people the Police did nothing to stop? Or is it just people fighting for life you have a problem with?
You keep trying to lay the blame for a possible Covid uptick solely at the feet of the BLM protests despite the fact that there were anti-lockdown protests before this and the fact that Trump plans to do his rallies in the next two weeks.
Outside of sports and healthy competition, why have national pride? What is the benefit?
Funny I seen this somewhere the other day:
Yeah SJW/Edgelords guilt tripping and ripping history apart because certain individuals who are "glorified" were racist. Times change, some peoples ideas are a bi-product of their cultural circumstance. This applies to all people, racists/xenophobes etc, criminals, religious individuals and so on.
We learn, we move on.
Most of us here will be a laughing stock to people of the future.

Yeah, I'm sure he filled his ears with jam right before he faked him falling over. The police were on it as well, bribed to ignore him on the ground. It makes perfect sense. That one cop wasn't quite on it, that tried to reach him on the ground, but was quickly reminded by other cops "think of the money, leave him!".
They are claiming that Floyd and the cops that killed him and people filming, were actors paid off by Soros. That’s how indefensible Trump is at this point... they think everything is a TV show.
