Not all violence is "violent"

"Violence is when an agent of the state kneels on a man's neck until all of the life is leached out of his body. Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence. To use the same language to describe those two things is not moral" - Nikole Hannah Jones

Seriously, this is just is a despicable remark by the lead journalist of the NYT 1619 project. It's easy to say that property can be replace when it's not your business being destroyed or you face getting beat in by a violent mob. Fuck off.

So if I burn down the Dazzler's house I haven't committed an act of violence. Cool.

That's akin to kicking mentally ill people. It might be fun but ultimately wrong.

No kidding. It's baffling that a high profile journalist like this can't analogize what she's saying in a different context and realize how ridiculous her statement is. Is it not violence if it a white supremacist "destroys property" of a black family?

I see folks here questioning their moral leaders. Not cool guys. The left is the arbitrator of morality. Get in line or get canceled

It's the NYT. Everything they write comes straight out of their asses. (E.g., the 1619 Project.)

It's quite a feat, actually. Try it sometime.

And what an ugly outfit, btw. Ick. Seriously awful fashion sense. And she lives in NYC.

From hence forward I shall be referencing to ALL looters as “non violent looters”.

You’re just upset she has a Pulitzer for her commentary and you don’t for DFI.

I'm not in it for the awards. I'm here to serve my community in these tough times
