And yet another meme from the capitalist power structure and.....

their toadies in the MSM.

I've heard this a couple of times now that what we're experiencing world-wide over the BlackLivesMatter protests is "racial unrest". That is such BULLSHIT! These protests are multi-ethnic and multi-cultural with a LARGE contingent of white people involved too. "Racial unrest" implies that this is primarily about race and black people protesting instead of police violence against black people. It's just another way the media is complicit in dividing people into black/white boxes and pitting them against each other. The media wants politically unaware people to see this as a black/white thing and what's a shame is that a lot of will probably buy this meme.

Fucking shameless.
