The people that are protesting are and should be conscious about their situation regarding COVID-19. I have heard a lot of people say that they are not going to riots because they are or live with someone who is high risk.

As an Asian. I really don't think that people are seeing the fact. That the Asian community is under a hella lot of hate, and flak cuz we started Covid-19. But Covid and Black lives matter, but I don't think that Asian get as much recognition in the US for their month or celebrations. I haven't met a single person that knew that Pacific Islander month (Asian History Month According To Google), and I am in my last year in middle school. And I still haven't seen a single event or recognition that it is Asian History month. But every other history month does. All lives matter tho

Yes, all lives matter. However, if you say that in today's political climate, a bunch of sanctimonious people will virtue signal as hard as they can by calling you a racist. Identifying by group is not helping the issues we have with racism. Until people stop group-identity politics, racism will always exist. I like Asian people. Not because they are Asian, because the Asians I've met are nice, respectful, hard-working people. That last word in the previous sentence is the key - we are all PEOPLE, and that's all that really matters.

Cool! Glad to hear that. It's simply being reasonable, that's all. For whatever reason, some people have thrown reason out the window and are operating purely on their emotions. It's insanity! Cheers!!!

My post was in fear that protests would not be done within covid guidelines, however some are proving me wrong. They are socially distancing and wearing masks.

Also, it depends on what video or photos you see. In some, the large majority are wearing masks, but those are often masks provided by the police or local government. They would not be wearing masks if they weren't handed to them when they got there. I just watched some video of these marches. People are not social distancing in these marches. Not only is it nearly impossible, but the protesters are of the mindset that protesting is so important that they will risk their lives. I can appreciate that sentiment, but it's a double standard.

I'd say that there are 40-50% of the protesters wearing masks. As for social distancing, almost none of them are following the guidelines that the speculative CDC created. Nearly every video of the protests shows people shoulder to shoulder, and many times right in the faces of police officers. There may be some who are socially distancing during the protests, but the nature of protesting (gathering together in large groups, shouting for hours, sharing water, etc) itself does not jibe with social distancing. Protesting is very social and it's also represented by massive groups of people. Even if everyone was socially distancing by the 6' the speculative CDC calls for, it would not make a bit of a difference. As I'm sure you're aware, SARS-COV-2 spreads most easily via aerosol. There is simply no stopping the spread of it when you have hundreds of thousands/millions of people gathering in groups in the thousands or even more and screaming for hours.

Maybe "some" are following the CDC guidelines, but the majority are not. That basically negates anything that the responsible protesters did to prevent the spread of disease. There is a crazy double standard going on in this country, and a lot of it has to do with people pandering to people who complain. Some complaints are valid (i.e. police brutality), but some are not (allowing Representatives to wear hats/head coverings; see - Ilhan Omar). A rule banning hats and head coverings was changed as soon as the democrats had control of the House. That is seriously the first thing they did. That is the definition of pandering and double standards.

Yeah, it's a bad situation made much worse by the scum that infests the human population of Planet Earth. However, you cannot tell it like it is without being called a racist or a bigot of some kind. Rioters should be dealt with harshly. They truly are SCUM.

And they're hurting the people they claim to be doing it for! It's honestly sickening

Yup, it really is. I don't see much hope in resolving racism in general. Improving race relations is possible, but all the group-think is holding progress back. It's truly absurd.

It really is. I get why people say "black lives matter" but at the same time it's defining those people by their skin color and placing them in a separate group.

Yes, and how the F do people not see this??? It's staring them in the face every single day. I hate the mainstream media. They won't tell it how it is because they are afraid to piss off their customers...or something dumb like that.

Oh well, I guess I'll just continue to, for the most part, mind my own business and only worry about my family and friends, and my dog and two cats, lol!

Sorry, but protesting is more important than the lock down of the entire world...I guess. It's a complete joke that the protesters not wearing masks are getting a free pass by the media and medical community. All these sanctimonious "perfect" people are a joke. If you want to protest, by all means, do it. But, you need to wear a mask and you need to protest peacefully. Throwing things, even water, at cops is unacceptable.

And neither do those who speak out against it.

I've seen a lot of photos of protestors wearing masks and that's what I'd encourage.
