Right-wing boogeyman Al Sharpton post. Drink!
Al Sharpton is merely the sharpest (pun intended) example of the racist double standard in the US. Here we have an outspoken black racist who is not only not shunned, but is actually rewarded, for his racism.
Imagine a white activist who does things like participate in a rape hoax and accuse a black prosecutor of rape with no evidence (Tawana Brawley). Or speak against a black shopkeeper in a predominately white neighborhood, calling him a "black interloper", which inspires one of his follower to burn the store down, killing eight people (
Freddie's Fashion Mart). Or imagine if this white racist helped incite a race riot because of a traffic accident (Crown Heights Riot). [[Note that both Fred Harari and the victims of the Crown Heights Riot (or should we say pogom) so we can add antisemitism to Al Sharpton's general anti-white racism. ]]
Or engage in racist language and nonsensical conspiracy theories like this:
And imagine if this white racist is not only still in good standing as "reverend" of his church but also gets to hobnob with the president of the United States on multiple occasions and who also has a national TV and radio show.
Racism is racism no matter which side it's coming from and should be equally condemned.

So we aren't told anywhere, then, eh?
Neither have any #BLM leaders condemned the Milwaukee race riots.

Some says "Black power" or "Black lives matter" and that means that the BLM called for the protests/riots?
#BLM is an amorphous movement, not an organization with well defined membership structure. If the rioters are yelling "black lives matter" that means they support #BLM. If they are yelling "black power" that means that they are black supremacists. Neither requires a membership card or paying any dues. Not that #BLM needs any dues, what with all the George Soros millions.
LD, do you actually have any opinion as to the riots? Do you think arson is acceptable if it is done to honor a black thug killed by police? Do you think attacking white Milwaukeeans is acceptable? Do you think throwing bricks at police is acceptable?
