They would have never got in there had they all been black. That's for sure.

We proved them right. I guess we finally can't deny it. I was in denial.

Hard to say. Not sure the dead 30 something white woman feels that way? With all the insanity that went on yesterday, it seems less than reasonable this soon to get into race today.
There are a lot of questions that need answering. Why was the Capitol police not better prepared? Any cop photographed taking selfies with those that invaded the Capitol should be canned ASAP. Why wasn’t the Guard already on site?
Personally, I would have been fine if the police had killed the first and last of the A holes who stormed the Capitol. Outside, as long as they were behaving was fine. Inside, absolutely not.
The looters and arsonists were for the most part allowed to rampage for days on end, so I’m not sure race is the issue we should devolve to.

I agree with a lot of that, but the looters weren't attacking the US government. There is a difference between going into some dollar store than there is attacking the US government. Everyone who got inside should have been shot. It's like attacking the Pentagon. That wasn't a liquor store.

Not attacking the US Government?

How many Federal buildings and monuments were destroyed? How many Federal buildings were set fire to? How many police stations (local government) were attacked and burned?
In all those attacks on Federal buildings, I don't recall a single fatality by Law enforcement. Yet in the lone attempted siege of the Capitol, there was a fatality.

There's a difference between a monument and going inside the capitol as they did. Apples and oranges.

How many Federal buildings were attacked in other cities during the BLM protests?
Remember when they barricaded people in the Federal Courthouse in Portland and then set it on fire? Yeah, that's nothing like this. I'd argue that was worse.

Your original point of white privilege may or may not be correct? Thankfully, this was not predominantly a black mob invading the Capitol. However, the Portland Courthouse that has been under siege is a Federal building. My point is violent protestors of any race should be aggressively dealt with. I don’t feel this has been done before and certainly not yesterday.

Either way, they should have been shot and I think if they were all black peeps getting rowdy like that and heading in you would have seen a lot of death. JMO

The police almost certainly would've been better prepared

for a black mob. That, in itself, is a problem.
