2020 Riots

Killing Figures

4 white dudes are killed by cops in the United States for every 3 black dudes killed by cops. With respect to crimes, black people kill 10 times more whites than whites kill blacks. In other words, the BLM movement, and mass hysteria over white oppression of blacks in America, have no basis in reality whatsoever (Source: U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Statistics: Criminal Victimization, 2018).

Police Brutality in America

It is undeniable that there is an issue with police brutality in America. The issue has only been exacerbated with increasing militarization of police in the United States. However, the matter is of concern to all Americans, and to the fundamental freedoms of all Americans. Furthermore, if one is to address actual police brutality data, more white people are affected by police abuse than any other ethnicity (Source: 2018 Crimes in the United States, FBI, and 2018 Police Shootings in the United States, Washington Post).

Protests

We do not see any ground for anyone to specifically protest a black man being killed by police. Everyone remained silent indeed when Daniel Shaver was executed, unarmed, on his knees, begging for his life, when Kelly Thomas was beaten to death while crying for his dad, or when Justine Damond was shot dead by a Minneapolis black cop. Nobody cared because they were all white.

This being said, we uphold the fundamental right of Americans to peacefully protest, however ridiculous their protest may be. When the protests become violent though, and start involving looting, rioting, beating and killings, they becomes acts of domestic terrorism.

Black Community

We tend to not identify people by the color of their skin. Here, we are all green, with a few of us being on the darker green side of things. However, many blacks feel the need to identify as such over being American, as a way to constantly strive to win gold at the Oppression Olympics, which only serves to marginalize them, as you cannot be successful in life with a victim mentality. Even assuming blacks were indeed oppressed, we do not believe they are, to the contrary (a black will get jobs and education over a white dude anywhere in America), the riots are not serving their claimed cause as they are destroying their own communities and businesses. Furthermore, the actual intolerance and hatred, and ultimately racism, shown in these protests against whites only serve to further divide America, and to increase racism.

Use of the Military on American Soil

We would normally oppose it, as it is a slippery slope. We would certainly oppose it in the context of any peaceful protests. However, when cities are literally destroyed by acts of terrorism perpetrated by radical left factions such as Antifa, and when local police and states are unable to regain control, maintain order, and protect their citizens, it becomes the responsibility of the U.S. Government to intervene, and this includes troop deployment. A prerogative of the POTUS under the Insurrection Act.

Trump

We do not worship the guy, nor do we hate him. He would not have been our first choice ideally, but he was much better than Hillary and will be much better than Biden. We are also objective in his assessment, disagreeing with some of his decisions, as they relate to wolf protection or withdrawal from Syria for example, while we agree with others, like on the economy, or his lack of submission to radical left hysteria.

Mattis

For having several thousand United States Marines among us, we understand that most saw him as a near god. However, we quickly expressed reserves when he showed a marked liberal inclination in his approval of transgenders in the U.S. Armed Forces, and worse, in his integration of women in combat within the United States Marine Corps, when he knew, or ought to know, it would mark the end of our beloved Corps.

His recent position against Trump, while poorly timed, as it creates the very division he is accusing Trump of, had some legitimacy and was his prerogative. We did share his views that the sudden withdrawal from Syria was a mistake.

His siding with protesters, however, is utterly abhorrent. Mattis, specifically stated: "The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live up to our values… as a nation.” In doing so, he is embracing the radical left concept that whites are inherently bad and blacks inherently oppressed, while promoting further division and conflict. He also went further by siding with Antifa, and thus, terrorists, which is inexcusable. Mattis seems to be following the paths of many before him, from Vance in Canada, to Campbell in Australia, all decorated and revered soldiers, who suddenly became soft and political (possibly out of self-interest), and in doing so, destroyed their militaries and endangered the national security of their nations. We question Mattis’ motives, and whether he is aiming at a Democrat presidential nomination down the road.

Ultimately, however retarded Trump may be at times, or however much some people may dislike him, he is not a threat to the United States. Currently, he is the main guy keeping us away from open borders, from loss of our 1A and 2A rights, from white men facing more institutionalized oppression, and at the end of the day, from the left tearing our Constitution apart. The actual threat to, and enemies of, the United States are Antifa, and the left in general, and their attempt to turn America into a utopian radical left, Muslim, feminist and communist dictatorship.
