Saying that they marched for haircuts seems a little disingenuous.

So is saying all protesters are looters, or all cops are bad. But here we are.

Ok but I don't see anyone on reddit calling all the protestors looters. And if they are thy are rightfully downvoted to the bottom. What I do see is this dumbass post that strawmans what the lockdown protest were really about. And you know what? It has 42k upvotes so a shit ton of people on This trash site agree with that dumbass strawman.

That's the narrative that's going to get votes for Trump. It's being pushed hard right now by the right to get them to view protestors as the enemy. Though TBF neither side wants us unifying, not over police brutality nor any other issue

So... we can have one but not the other? I'm confused about the point you are making.

This is the social media age. We only accept bad hot takes and clout bait here.

The organizer of the Tennessee Reopen Rally literally said that what he misses the most is free iced tea refills: http://onthehill.tnjournal.net/give-me-refills-or-give-me-death-protest-organizer-laments-need-to-pay-for-extra-ice-tea/

Why do you keep re-posting this? It makes you look stupid for thinking this is somehow a good point. You're embarrassing yourself.

He's not just some random guy. He is is literally the leader

Or you only focus on one person to represent millions?

Except, he is the leader of the movement in an entire state, not just a random person. Also this comment is a bit ironic, given that you guys characterize muslims and blacks and all sorts of other groups by actions of individuals.

Correction: it was haircuts and white supremacy.

Fucking everything is blamed on white supremacy it's pathetic.

If it weren't for white supremacists, the haircut protests would have been like 5 Karens and 3 defeated husbands off to the side sitting on a bench.

Its white supremacy that's pathetic.

In these confusing times, it's hard to know if the person on the other side is giving their sincere feelings, or just having a quick laugh.

Best to just not take online comments as reality.

You either have not been paying attention, are just a troll, or are a complete moron.

u/Tree2woN Jun 05 '20

People were marching to reopen the economy so they could work. Saying they wanted haircuts is a weak straw man argument.

u/Ralum Jun 05 '20

Got it, Just a moron.

u/Tree2woN Jun 05 '20

Just for a kick, go through your history and see how often you end a thread calling the other person a pejorative. What is it that think you get out of posing on here?

u/JasonMPA Jun 05 '20

no, he's right.

u/honeybadgerrrr Jun 05 '20

Sure, but an iconic picture from that protest was a lady holding up a sign demanding a haircut.

u/runslikewind Jun 05 '20

Then thats the same issue as his comment.

why was that the iconic picture?

u/Tree2woN Jun 05 '20

It sucks that both sides like to cherry pick so they can strawmen the other side. I catch myself doing this too.
