adadike:
Please sir, do not act like one president I know that shoots unharmed protesters but host terrorist in a national banquet . I don't support protesters that loot but arrest and prosecute them instead of shooting or you Sir will be dishonouring the memory of Floyd as well

Nnamdipapakanu:
They killed a black and the other blacks went on rampage looting people shop

What msg does it pass to others?

It mean blacks are looters, always looking for an opportunity to loot

The death of Floyd is now a dishonor

gypsey:
Trump ma nigga!! shoot dem thieving criminals who calls themselves blacks. I wonder how looting and stealing would solve their problems.

Some people will say Trump was wrong because it isn't their shops that are been looted.

TripleOh7:
Actually, Trump's right.

The looting and violence dishonours the memory of the deceased.

And the looters are making things worse for the black man.

They call you a monkey, a thief and a brigand and you go right ahead and prove them right.

So so wrong.

For those inclined to quote me without comprehension, I am against shooting of any protesters or looters. And the killer cops should face justice.

The part of Trump's speech that I supported has been quoted by me here.

So read to understand.

Nairalandmonika:

Imagine buhari saying when the shooting start on Nigeria citizens. What do u think about that

maasoap:






See how all you applied rationality in this case just to defend Trump's call for killings! Hypocrites. One would be deceived to think that you guys would apply this type of rationality had the call made by Buhari. Ordinary proverb about dogs, baboons and blood with no reference to human beings, una wanted to hang the man.

TripleOh7:


I understand your point.

But you don't understand mine.

Tell me, what's going to happen next after this looting?

Do you think that the looting and burning won't affect the average black man or black business?

Do you think that this is the best way to show our grievances at this moment.

Why attack stores?

Why not attack the police station?

Why not burn down government buildings if you truly want to turn it into a violent scenario?

Why looting peoples' businesses?

Does this even make sense at all?

Black businesses ruined because we are protesting the murder of a black man is the unfortunate thing here, not my own opinion.

I agree that the policemen should be sentenced to the chair.

There are ways to bring this about. Not like this.

Macsjebs:

Yeah true
But what if it was your store looted

linearity:


...And if they are thugs, the remedy is to shoot them? That is the threat!

Similar incidents, but this time around, it was White Supremacist rioting in NC in 2017, which lead to the death of some, his statement then was, “...these are fine people on both sides..” He didn’t threaten to send the National Guide in.

I sometime laugh at the ignorant and delusions of blacks, who thinks Trump thinks any highly of them except as a means to an end.

The guy is a racist to the core and does everything only for self.

PigTormentor:


I live in Nigeria, I'm in Nigeria right now enjoying the sunlight and nice breeze of Lagos.
I didn't just pack up and head home one day, since I made up my mind to settle back home eventually, I have always made a habit to come back home as much as possible and to invest what I can back home.
I'm living and loving my life the way I want. I still travel to the US whenever I need to but Nigeria is home for ME.

Nairalandmonika:

Doesn't give me or buhari the right to say such words or anyone to say such words.

Here's Trump reaction to a white protest and Trump reaction to a black protest.

America has always been a volcano waiting to explode. It has exploded many times in the past, Watts riots of 1965, Detroit riots of 1967 and LA riots of 1992 comes to mind among many other riots over the years.
Race relations is one of the reasons that made me realize long time ago that no matter how good I have it in America, Nigeria is always going to be home for me. I have had a wonderful more than 35 years of blissful life in America but I always know in the back of my mind that Nigeria is where I'm at peace and totally comfortable as a human being.
I have worked with racist whites and some very good ones too. I have also worked with African Americans who don't like you becuase they think I have an added advantage because I' m from Nigeria and the white will rather deal with me than deal with them. It's very complicated it's not all it seems to look like.
Make dollars in the US and bring it to Nigeria and live like a king, you can't beat that.

I know it's not for everyone, Nigeria is HOME FOR ME, it works for me.

chris81964:


Most businesses in black neighborhoods don't belong to Black people. When you are helpless and scared nobody knows what your reaction when in a mob would be. During the LA riot following the Rodney King incident and acquittal, I felt like you. I was angry at the black people who looted the stores and burnt down businesses. I felt that they gave me a bad name. And the media tells you that they are.

The system is deigned to keep one segment of the population down no matter how hard they try. Higher rate mortgages and car loans. Redlining and refusing to lend in some areas. Poor delivery of municipal services. Higher incarceration rates relative to their population.

I felt so helpless with this latest killing and I was so angry I could not tell how I would react. Target is not owned by black people.

They did set the police station of fire. It is very easy for one to sit in judgement. But the looting was not something that happened in a vacuum. The murder of a helpless black man triggered it. The consequences are not as important as the trigger. The murder of a black man who was going about life like any other US citizen.

I am not sure that if I were present I would not have thrown my rock at the symbol of my oppression. I am angry and in enough pain that I can't tell.
My neighbors have no empathy because it is not happening to them.

I watch shows on National Geographic and I see scenes where the lions ate a wilder-beast or an antelope. And you see its mother, cousins, brothers gather around and watch their relative get eaten. That is how it feels to be a person of color in America. You watch your brother, father, child, sister get killed. All you can do is cry. You know that nothing will happen to the killer. And you know your neighbors will just watch and move on.

I do not subscribe to violence. Even if causes I hold dear turn violent, count me out.

I am only stating the obvious, the inevitable. It Is easily explicable that disastrous events like this will occur....

tomdon:




He's very uncouth and undiplomatic

heysquare:

Bros that lootings show there is poverty in US too! Americans are hungry too!

maybet081:
Am sorry if any person feel bad about Trump's tweet, but I watch clearly on aljerzeral cable news where those supposed protesters are heavily looting shops and vandalising vehicles. the protest have taken a twisted and perverted dimensions.

ValCon888:
Trump may be the American president, but there's nothing presidential about the man.

tonididdy:

oh I was going to discourage about moving back home seeing all the insecurity and lack of basic amenities infesting the country.
obviously you have a plan.
am certain you living lowkey publicly and living in your created Eldorado in private.
it's the only way I assume.
forgive my ignorance.
I see Nigeria this way.
you are doing well.

kratosonofzeus:
they've burnt 3 police stations already...for all of u that condemn this act... Don't u know that violence prompt more violence. Besides a black man was killed in 2014 the same way Floyd was killed, the guy was killed for selling loose cigarettes wey no Worth $10. No one protested then, a black navy guy was shot this year, nothing happened and many more black brutality, how much longer do u expect them to keep quiet, now Floyd was murdered in broad daylight.. and d volcano finally erupts. For those who claiming that they should have organised a peaceful protest, peaceful protest will change nothing,I repeat it'll change nothing.

A black cop mistakenly shot a white woman, he was sent to jail for 12 and a half years, but this white cop intentionally murdered Floyd in a horrific and gruesome way, and all they want to do is to just fire him from work.imagine. if the cop that killed Floyd had been jailed or executed, nothing like this will happen... U people should go n study history, a peaceful protest never changes anything.... Now the whole world have eyes on America and Trump. I don't support the looting but, if it's going to pass a message let them loot, next time a cop is about to murder a black man unjustly he's gonna think twice,cause he knew what happened after Floyd's death ....#blacklivesmatters
