1. Being Black doesn't mean you can stop every atrocity, she is the mayor and has publicly said she didn't make the decision.

2. You're not seeing race? That's very problematic because race was certainly a big point. You're probably the type of person who says 'I don't see color.' Or says things akin to White being allies is equivalents to 'white guilt,' and is shameful. No sweetie, you are shameful and ignorant.

3. This certainly was terrorism, the things they did people go to PRISON for. The racism, antisemitism, the racist garb, and the acts they carried our weren't enough for you?

The people with such sentiments DO NOT care about Black or Brown lives, only the lives of those who look like them You want to keep systemic racism in tact. Whether or not you actively participate your silence is violence. Remember that next time you are talking about how great diversity is and pretending to care about all human life.

When are you people going to understand that not everything is about race?

There are a multitude of issues that would stoke the fires of these angry protestors. BTW - not unlike the PortandBaltimoreChicagoLasAngelesETC protestors over the last 10 months.

People are upset over MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY - can you HEAR ME???? - other things OTHER THAN RACE in this country. People are upset. Period. Race IS an issue, but it is not the primary issue.

Biden needs to take control and bring this country together.

White janney parent here, this was EXCLUSIVELY about race and once again I’m asking you to please share this opinion on the janney listserv with your name attached so I can avoid you and your pitiful excuses for literal nazis.

Your discomfort with even a tiny amount of ideological diversity is not a virtue. You want people with slightly different political beliefs than you to feel uncomfortable in your community.

HOLY SHT. Hot take of the day: nazis are just “ideologically diverse”

PP, you need help.

You think the person who said "Biden needs to take control" is a Nazi. So. This is your problem. One of your problems.

Reading comprehension is your problem. Try again, we’ll wait....

You told a Democrat to out themselves so you can shun them. Then you brought up Nazis.

White person here who totally agrees with the first PP. how can you seriously come on here screaming “it’s not about race!” when the mob was LITERALLY wearing and carrying nazi symbols? WTF kind of world do you live in where you don’t realize that fear and hatred is what motivates these people and Trump has used that to destroy our country?! Get out.

+1

It is also about race because there white people were allowed to literally steal and take sh**ts in the US Capitol building with police watching. And walk out with what they stole. If you think black people would be able to do that then I have a bridge to sell you. And you are willfully ignorant to the pervasive systemic racism in this country.

Geez! Everyone is talking past each other.

We *all* understand that
(1) most of the insurrectionists are white supremacists. They are representative of a group of white extremists, but they are not representative of “whites” generally.
(2) the insurrectionists were, indefensibly, treated with much greater deference by LEO than the BLM protestors. Racism is a part of this identification of some LEO with the Wednesday crowd.

Race was absolutely an issue in the events that transpired Wednesday.

Many other issues were factors in the events that transpired Wednesday.

Wednesday was bigger and more complex than racism alone.

All the people talking here are not enemies of each other.

No one at Janney is guilty of storming the Capitol. No one at Janney thinks any of that mess was okay.

If we want to have a discussion of unconscious bias and microaggressions, then the passions in this thread will make sense. The us-vs-them about Wednesday does not make sense here.

Likewise. We don't do this stuff.

Yup. I was just thinking the same thing. Our kids had a very similar discussion with their EOTP DSPC teachers and not one of white parents in our chat debated the importance of laying it out this way. Everyone was supportive. The parents of color were as well.

I don't think the people saying "put your real names to this, I don't want you in my community" agree with you, though.
