Gay Muslim small business owner supportive of BLM’s goals absolutely terrorized and brought to the brink of insolvency by white “progressives” with guns hijacking the racial justice movement. You can’t make this stuff up.

Gotta break eggs, man. Get with the movement ...

“The idea of taking up the Black movement and turning it into a white occupation, it’s white privilege in its finest definition,” Mr. Khan said. “And that’s what they did.”

I couldn't agree more.

Many are nervous about speaking out lest they lend ammunition to a conservative critique of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Lol the NYT is reliable. I just love how that's phrased. People are afraid of speaking out against the woke mob not because the woke mob is destructive and dangerous. No. It's because those conservatives would opportunistically capitalize on their words.

That line probably described many reporters and editors at the Times.

I wonder if this piece would get through the ‘sensitivity readers’ if the Union gets their way.


The author of this piece is or was dating Bari Weiss. I wonder if she’ll still be there a year from now.

Nina, how does the rubber meet the road with that opinion? What does it mean to be a white person who is deeply politically aligned with BLM, but who also believes white people should not be seen to be carrying that banner? Should white people at CHOP not have been there at all, or should they have been acting differently in some way?
