Instead of worrying about what I am saying, please focus on your claim that BLM was rioting. This claim of yours is incorrect.
These riots are caused partly by conditions stemming from the racism faced by US communities of colour.
And the riots caused by white nationalists is also due to racism against people of colour.
So, this attempt at making both sides look equal is not really accurate.
Well, part of your justification for pretending that both sides are equally violent (so you can call this a war like the white nationalists do) depends on taking the cops’ side when it comes to protests against police brutality.
I am explaining why this assumption is wrong.
Repeating the same thing over and over again without moving the discussion forward does not help.
I have explained why this metaphor is incorrect at best and excuses racist violence at worst.
No. You are trying to justify a metaphor after it has been pointed out to you that it makes both sides look equally guilt when the truth is that racists are responsible for almost all the violence.
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in...

What does this have to do with anything that I said?

I'm saying there's a cultural and racial battle (war) going on.

i'm trying to look at it from an academic perspective.
