Funny how headlines such as this.....
The whiteness of anti-lockdown protests: How ignorance, privilege, and anti-black racism is driving white protesters to risk their lives....
Anti-lockdown "movement" Are Powered by Racism: These protests aren't really about public health policy or the virus — they're a display of white identity politics...
The 'Open America' Protests Are a Classic Example of the Power of Peak White Privilege...
...aren’t replaced with headlines such as this:
Riots and Looting Aren’t Really About Protests Over Police Brutality — They Are A Display of Black Victimhood Entitlement....

One wanted businesses open
The other is typical regressed human prototypes burning and looting businesses

Are the lockdown protestors burning buildings and looting and destroying cop cars and people getting killed?

The media will continue to stoke this fire until there are protest in every major city in America.

Maybe the media would start supporting them if they did.

The craziest thing about all of this, imo, is how events keep playing out in such a manner that causes the media to contradict themselves on a weekly basis (as you point out), but the average person simply cannot see it.
I saw a bit ago how someone was calling Trump a dictator over this most recent executive order he signed. The person seems completely oblivious to the fact that it's the Democratic governors around the country trying to keep everyone locked down.
I have to remind myself, "think of how stupid the average person is...and now realize that half of them are dumber than that still."
It would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

You got that right. Your point can’t be emphasized enough.
The video in Minnesota sickens me and in no way do I intend for this post to minimize the right of citizens to PEACEFULLY protest what appears to be an acute case of overzealous policing. But the media double standard in stoking racial discord and animosity in how the MSM covers these news events on a day-to-day basis is just as equally sickening.

No. The lockdown protesters want to work, do something productive with their lives and be self-reliant.
Yet according to the MSM those are code-words for White Supremacy. Or something of that nature.

I saw a Tweet that had pictures of white killers that were peacefully detained and black men/women who were guilty (or not) of much lesser crimes that were killed.
It said “This is why we loot”
No, that’s why you’re angry. You loot because you want free shite.
I legitimately understand the anger, especially considering the way these things are covered and portrayed.
Just don’t say “we loot because peaceful protests don’t change anything” Looting doesn’t either and you know it. I’d have more respect for someone who was honest “I’m fricking pissed, and I want to wreak some havoc”

This headline was not lifted from the Babylon Bee but was an actual Gawker headline that appeared back during the Ferguson riots:
Actually, Riots are Good: The Economic Case for Riots in Ferguson
This is progtardism nakedly exposed: private property is at best a disposable and unnecessary component of a “just” society, if not an outright evil that should be targeted for the greater good.
