I mean really, how much damage can a bunch of white lefties actually do? Unlike back in 2020, their muscle (i.e. blacks) will be sitting this one out. They won't have the stomach for the kind of carnage and wholesale destruction that blacks do. At most they'll break a few windows. They won't be torching whole neighborhoods or shooting people.

Do you know where was BLM most active?

Portland: 77.38% White, 5.80% black;

The area around the Federal Courthouse, in particular, was a constant battleground for months on end, in a city with very few blacks. In July 2020, these events happened in Portland:

Six months later, Portland was still like this:

Seattle: 63.7% White; 7.33% black.

In July 2020, rioting in Seattle was already well underway:

Three months later, Seattle was still like this:

Please explain the events in Portland and Seattle over these lengthy durations given that blacks are a vast minority in those cities, and are clearly a minority even within rioters as these videos demonstrate?

My answer is remarkably simple. The quasi-Marxist BLM cause was effectively hijacked in these cities by more radical Antifa and Far-Left organizations, many if not most of whom are indeed 'White lefties'. The relative absence of radical Leftist groups in more black areas meant that BLM was more 'genuine' rather than becoming co-opted by more ideological, radical groups, and so BLM fizzled out because it was a more spontaneous, anger-fueled reaction rather than something organized. Most of these 'ACAB', 'F12' and 'FTP' tags, which are emblematic of Far-Left extremist presences, are being sprayed by non-blacks (and indeed many Whites) in those cities.

We should also keep in mind that BLM continued operating well into the Biden Administration, and did not conveniently disappear as those who allege that Antifa-BLM are effectively Democrat Party fronts believed.

For example, BLM was still in the streets in Salem on 2021-03-28:

I'm seeing more anger from these people at Biden than I saw from the 2020 rioters at Trump.
