One of the quotes:
Another asked, I wonder what the response would be if it was a MAGA group that done the same thing? Yeah we all know the answer to that.

Tucker Carlson Loses Major Advertisers After Racist Comments AGAIN
Disney, T-Mobile and others stopped ads on his Fox News show amid backlash for his bigoted comments on Black Lives Matter protests.www.huffpost.com
Tucker Carlson keeps repeating his own dumb history. The Fox News host again is losing advertisers after saying racist stuff.
Disney, T-Mobile, SmileDirectClub, Papa John’s and Vari have pulled their commercials from “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Media Matters reported Wednesday.
The exodus came after Carlson on Monday warned viewers of his popular show on the conservative cable network that Black Lives Matters protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd were “not about Black lives, and remember that when they come for you.”
T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert, responding to a Twitter user on Tuesday asking if the telecom giant supported Carlson’s message, wrote back: “It definitely is not. Bye-bye Tucker Carlson! #BlackLivesMatter.”
Other advertisers followed with confirmations on Wednesday.
Disney’s advertising of its ABC network on Fox News was never supposed to run on Carlson’s show at all, according to Deadline.
“The ABC advertisements were placed on the show without our knowledge by third party media buyers who were unaware that we do not advertise on the show, and they have now been notified not to place any further ads,” an ABC spokesperson told the entertainment site.
After the segment aired, a Fox News spokesperson said, “Tucker’s warning about ‘when they come for you’ was clearly referring to Democratic leaders and inner city politicians.”
Carlson has repeatedly trashed protesters as national unrest grows over police brutality and racism. This week, he even took issue with a CNN town hall in which “Sesame Street” characters explained the protests.
He’s been here before. In 2018, Carlson’s show faced an advertiser boycott when he said immigrants made the nation “poorer and dirtier.” In 2019, he again prompted an advertiser exit by declaring that white supremacy was a hoax.
Meanwhile, Carlson has sold his stake in The Daily Caller, the conservative digital outlet he co-founded a decade ago, so he can focus on his Fox News show, The Wall Street Journal reported.
“I’m just too absorbed in what I’m doing,” Carlson told the Journal. “I wasn’t helping in any way, because I’ve got an hour to do every night” on Fox News.
John, you are up....again..

Of course they do not.
These people have been allowed to run rampant unchecked. This is just a natural progression.

Where did I make anything racial? Show me the post.
It is about culture and environment, but the same environment that allows some to thrive also stifles others. It doesn't even have to be about race, for many centuries when there was a lack of multiple races, it was about beliefs, customs and language.

Hahahahahahaah so you and @Randhir are doing the EXACT SAME THING you are accusing me of, accepting something you haven't fact checked either
Buka didn't even give a source for his facts, yet you accept them blindly. Do you understand what irony is?

Rand Paul stalls bill that would make lynching a federal hate crime
Republican argued anti-lynching legislation drafted too broadly after House renamed bill previously approved by Senate
www.theguardian.com
Amid the visceral national outcry for racial justice in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, a lone US senator is standing in the way of a bill that would make lynching a federal hate crime.
Rand Paul, a Republican with a reputation as a one-man awkward squad in the US Senate, has put the historic legislation into limbo, frustrating black colleagues and civil rights leaders, including the Rev Jesse Jackson.
About 4,075 African Americans were lynched in 12 southern states between 1877 and 1950, according to a 2015 report by the Equal Justice Initiative. Some were watched by crowds, as if attending a form of public entertainment.
Ida B Wells, a crusading African American journalist, once said: “Our country’s national crime is lynching.”
The killing of Floyd by a white Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes, caught on film and seen by millions, has been likened to a 21st-century lynching. It spurred more than two weeks of worldwide protests.
From 1882 to 1986, Congress failed to pass anti-lynching legislation 200 times, but this moment appeared to be different.
Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Tim Scott, the only three African American members of the Senate, led the unanimous passage of the legislation in that chamber in 2018 and 2019. The House of Representatives then passed it by a 410-4 vote in February but renamed it for Emmett Till, a 14-year-old boy lynched in Mississippi in 1955.
That was the only change that returned the bill to the Senate, which makes Paul’s sudden objection all the more idiosyncratic.
The Democratic congressman Bobby Rush, who proposed the House legislation, tweeted: “The language of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act is IDENTICAL to the bill that was unanimously approved by the Senate. The only conclusion I can draw from Rand Paul’s sudden opposition is he has an issue with the House bill being named after Emmett Till.”
But Paul, a licensed doctor, is notorious for rousing colleagues’ ire by stalling legislation and for a life and career that are seldom conventional.

They might not have known but it doesn't make them any less complicit.
Just like KKKaren yesterday, they accuse you of things and when they can't prove it they just make up a narrative and don't apologize.

Anger over calls to rename white cliffs
A call to rename Kent's iconic white cliffs after the Black Lives Matter movement has been lambasted as a prank that damages the campaign.
BLM can bugger off. Communist anti-UK thugs!
