Framing and Blaming - Racism Rears It's Ugly Head

I just saw a news clip on CBS showing three young people. Two young white females were spraying a store front with the slogan, "Black Lives Matter." The third young person, a black female, was begging them to stop because blacks would be blamed.

I cannot 'know' the motivations of the girls spraying the building. I just know that they didn't stop when asked.

This just reminded me of the incident of the white woman calling the police because a black man told her to leash her dog.

Both stories put a knot in my stomach.

Do you think their motive was to incite more violence against blacks, or were they really expressing their feelings? There are also plenty of white people who think that black lives matter. Could have been genuine.
 
As long as people keep seeing and labeling Black and White, it will never change....
Protesting the wrong that has happened is understandable... But you dont see this BS when its a non minority dying in police hands.
Rioting and looting.... criminal activity and does nothing to help with the original issues at hand....
Last month it was $1000 fine just to be out in public in some of these same cities...
Would the "Black" side be appeased if a few "White" instigators from out of town be publicly executed?
What about these folks?

But they didn't stop when begged - could be ignorance or malice - no way to read minds. However, the third girl's comment about blacks being blamed is likely true. That's what upset me. By the way, in the peaceful protests in our area, there were multitudes of caucasians out supporting the cause of social justice. So, I agree - perhaps the graffitti was meant in support, but it didn't appear that way in the video. The girls in question ignored the pleas, finished their painting, and walked away with their backs turned to the other girl.
