WHY ARE DEMOCRAT PROTEST MOVEMENTS SUCH CESSPITS OF RACISM? ‘You’re Asian, Right? Why Are You Even Here?’, a Black Lives Matter protestor bellows at Politico’s Aaron Mak in Milwaukee:
As race and police violence become a higher-profile issue in America, many Asian-Americans are still trying to figure out where—or if—we fit in to the movement. Black Lives Matter is the highest-profile effort to push for minority rights in America right now. It was born of grievances just like those we’re seeing in Milwaukee; at each killing, whether Milwaukee or Baton Rouge or St. Paul, BLM emerges as the voice pushing for police accountability, for the full dignity of Americans who’ve been deprived of it. It’s also, explicitly, an African-American cause. Should Asian-Americans like me count ourselves part of the same effort to fight for minority rights, or are we at odds with it?
It’s also almost entirely a blue-on-blue protest movement. Of the cities quotes above, Milwaukee’s last Republican mayor left office in 1908. Saint Paul’s last GOP mayor left office a half century ago in 1966. Baton Rouge’s last Republican mayor left office over a decade ago, in 2004.
