"In local mainstream media the journalists, mayor, police, and other talking heads offer innacurate and vague explanations for who caused the destruction. They have two subjects they say show up at night to ruin the efforts of otherwise peaceful demonstrations. They talk about "vandals/thugs/idiots" when referring to black rioters. They mention “outsiders/anarchists/professional rioters" when talking about the white rioters. These subjects are complexly coded around race and the disjuncture in description has clear racist implications. Anon fails to describe how our enemies invisibilize participation of black bodies purposefully because there is a concerted effort by the establishment and most of the left to suggest that black protesters are peaceful and law abiding."
