This protest is growing like a wild fire.
Racism is bad but destruction of properties in the name of protest is worst.

tribalism is a subtle bias, compared to racism, which may even include extinction threats.


The US is the epicenter of globalism, so whatever happens there calls for concerns in other parts of the world. A good one from the UK.
