"Insanity outside the White House": After Trump stokes tensions, police and protestors clash

and

Why white silence is deafening — and deadly

Most white people I know believe that black lives matter. They will tell you they voted for Obama twice. They cannot stand Donald Trump. They are enraged by police brutality. These are the white people I want to speak to: Your anger and sadness about the big things are meaningless if you choose to do nothing about the small things you have control over.
 Actions matter. Don't just talk, act. Check out the actions that white people have already compiled for their peers. What I want to do here is draw your attention to similarities between three very mundane actions of white people that perpetuate modern-day lynching without requiring a knee on the neck, a chokehold, or a loaded gun. These types of everyday actions of white people make it difficult for my community to breathe.
 
1. The failure to humanize black people. 
 
2. The automatic presumption of guilt. 

3. The assumption that white people are inherently better.

Hundreds protest police killing of unarmed Palestinian in Jerusalem

Israelis and Palestinians take to the streets to protest police violence, drawing parallels between the killing of Iyad Hallak in J'lem and George Floyd in Minneapolis.

There is no parallel unless one admits American blacks live their lives in an even larger open-air prison than Palestinians do today. It's an economic cultural and psychological jail in which white see as free and meritorious. Afro Americans are also over-policed, over-charged, and over= incarcerated while being under-employed. They suffer far more medical stress and less access to health services than any other groups except possibly indigenous Americans. Americans might insist to be colour blind but racism is so ingrained in their Culture and psyche it's not just denied but unseen.

Yet no matter the class, education, or even nationality if black in America it's difficult to breathe and we saw it with Trump's birtherism of Obama and now the current riots in over 30 American cities today. If Obama and Oprah were on the streets today they find it difficult not to be treated for anything other than their blackness. Whites are in those crowds but not getting the same attention.

When leaders throughout history confronted such intense protests leaders that listened and brought about change were praised those that simply increased policing failed. Trump has failed in every each way even using force badly.

 

 ‘You hang gays & stone women!’ Pompeo awkwardly fights back as Iran’s Zarif speaks out against racism amid George Floyd riots

Mike Pompeo has clashed online with Tehran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif after the latter weighed in on the anti-police-brutality riots across the US. Zarif even used the secretary of state’s own words on Iran. 

This is the Secretary of State of the most powerful nation on the planet acting as a role model on how diplomacy is to be conducted. The man is simply a thug giving greenlights to assassinations and threatening America's closest allies should the dare go astray.

CORONAVIRUS: TRUMP'S US DOES BETTER THAN EUROPE

Trump derangement syndrome buries the truth. Chris Mitchell: "Journalists need to re-examine the facts of the pandemic. They might start by admitting the US has done much better than western Europe. The US has six times the population of the UK but only 2½ times the death rate."

Unlike the UK America has Natural Social Distancing Space. Fucking about with numbers to polish the facts is not a source of News but an apology for Trump. The fact is what do this Murdochians mean by "Western Europe" and then immediately slide to the UK a population-dense nation. There is no hiding the fact that the US with all it's space lead the world in numbers and deaths. The EU has a greater population than the USA 500M to 350M. Fudging figures to fit is what Chris Mitchell needs to stop doing. Remember the days when Mitchell and Bolt called each other bullshit artists. They were closer to the truth back then.

GEORGE FLOYD AND THE US RACE RIOTS: BE WARNED

COLUMN There were no riots three years ago when a black Minnesota cop murdered white Australian Justine Ruszczyk Damond. But race politics makes everything worse. American cities are now in flames after a white Minnesota cop killed a black man, George Floyd. Please, please, let this be a lesson to our own race warriors.

Australia's leading press racist Andrew Bolt claims he is colour blind yet attacks coloured Australians with energy exclusive to Andrew Bolt calling them all "racists". If someone has a hint of colour and a complaint they're racists according to Bolt.

 He says he had a best friend once when at school who was black. He certainly hasn't a colour blind memory then has he? However, we have never heard what happened to that ex-best friend and what he thinks of Andrew Bolt today? That best friend was dragged up as if a myth and relegated to a once unproven history that Bolt spins and has proven to be his fantasy more than once.

The fact is Racism exists in Australia and Bolt insists the means to eradicate it is to simply ignore, deny it. But don't for a whitewashed Christ sake speak up and expect to change anything. Bolt, after all, wants to breathe.
