Siege of the Capitol by a White mob met with little resistance.
Rioting. Looting. Broken glass. Disrespect to the media and cops. It wasn’t Black Lives Matters protesters or anarchists. This was the scene at and in the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon. MAGA protesters stormed the capitol and walked right in. One Maga supporter walked in the Chambers and announced Trump won the election! Another rioter went to Nancy Pelosi’s office and put his feet on her desk to declare the same.
The capitol was taken over by a predominantly white mob. They made it look simple.There was very little resistance from Capitol cops. Were Capitol Cops not in fear for their lives? Did they not see weapons being wielded? Windows were shattered so there could be easy entrance by Maga Patriots. Somehow they were able to enter without harm.
The Breach on Capitol Hill was extremely alarming to watch. However, for many to watch how little was done to stop this angry mob was disgraceful.
In 2013, 26 bullets ripped the body of a black woman, Miriam Carey. She made a u-turn near the White House and was killed by Capitol cops. How is it that one woman was slain in such a manner? So quickly. No time lapses. No grace given. No hesitation. But while Amerikkka watches the siege take place we see law enforcement running away from Maga supporters.
There are many components to this coup. One thing for sure is that this capitalistic duopoly system is failing. The electoral process is in shambles. (This takes place on the day of certification for the presidential election). The hypocrisy that surrounds it is astonishing.
Black Americans that watched these events unfold could not help but think that if these protesters had been black they would have been murdered like Miriam Carey or so many others. What also comes to mind is the rhetoric that Trump used in July 2020: “Anarchists, Agitators, or Protestors who vandalize or damage our Federal Courthouse in Portland or in any of our federal buildings or in any of our cities or states, will be prosecuted under our recently reenacted Statues and Monuments Act. Minimum 10 years in prison. Don’t do it!” He made this statement on the heels of the George Floyd rebellions. He also told Governors to get “much tougher” and to “dominate” them. He went on to say that protesters need to be arrested and tracked.
On this day, Wednesday January 6th 2021, the same President who called for Black Lives Matter protesters to be jailed showed and verbalized his deep love for MAGA savages. Capitol Cops also added to this hypocrisy with passive and delayed action while rioters bolted through doors and windows.. This has never been the case for black Americans.
There are many discussions that must take place around the attitude that Amerikkka has for black people. More importantly the discussion must be centered in how it plans to repair and transfer power and wealth to its most marginalized communities. An extreme request? Yes it is. The privilege and favor given to white Amerikkka on this day justifies the request.
