Not like the "mostly peaceful" BLM riots, eh?

Even "mostly peaceful" riots where only a few people are killed or beaten, 
and only a few dozen buildings are burned down and only a few hundred shops 
are looted and vandalized? Are you TRYING to offend BLM because, you know, 
black lives matter. But it's "racist" to say "white lives matter," don't you 
know?

And burning, looting, beating and murder are not racist if they're done 
under the flag of "BLM." They're just "mostly peaceful" protests.

I hope you're not speaking about the racist BLM. Those racists don't like to 
be called racists. You could lose your Woke card and be summarily canceled 
— maybe even jailed for racism.

Better trod carefully when speaking out against "mostly peaceful" riots. Be 
sure you know who's ox is being gored. Sometimes it's hard to tell the 
difference between a "mostly peaceful" protest and a riot, don't you know.
