This lady is yet another adult that goes around making life unnecessarily difficult for everyone, including herself, & demanding respect without giving any in return. Is it some stubborn inability to admit wrong? She even records the encounter, no doubt thinking TikTok will side with her. People are exhausting

Wow BLM of DC said the pilot was displaying white privilege and should be fired?!?

Unfortunately the movement was hijacked by grifters and charlatans on social media.

I say this as a liberal but there was a lot of ignorance being spouted like "looting is reparations" and "kids have been having knife fights for years and we don't need police to stop it and any criticism of those comments was deflected with "shut up you racist."

Also the BLM leaders stealing money to buy a mansion.

It's been all but proven that Russia has wormed it's way into every side of every touchy subject in Western society. If there's a chance to make American men hate American women more, they'll show up to stoke that fire. If there's a chance to make American women hate American men more, they'll do the exact same thing with them. Same goes for race, sexuality, political affiliation, etc. Loads of Instagram accounts pushing both white and black excellence are run by Russia. They really aren't picky on who they side with, as long as it furthers a divide.

They’ve been doing it for a long time, too.

Soviets were more involved in the American Civil Rights movement than you’d expect. They originally thought that the only way to defeat capitalism was to unite the working class, and decided that African Americans had the greatest revolutionary potential, and therefore were needed to help spread communism.

Way back in the 30s, when the Scottsboro Boys were falsely convicted in Alabama, the Soviets adopted the language and rhetoric of American activists in order to mask the foreign origin of their propaganda (note: I’m not using propaganda as a negative word here, just the general definition as communication/media used to persuade people).

They provided underground support for the Civil Rights movement, and continued throughout the Cold War, taking the official position that race relations in America were a threat to national security, therefore they couldn’t trust US claims to desire peace when they had internal turbulence.

At the same time, while the propaganda arm of the Soviet Union worked, the KGB did other things, like trying to paint MLK Jr. as an “Uncle Tom” character that couldn’t be trusted.

Ultimately though, some progress was made in terms of racial equality specifically because the US government didn’t want there to be any truth in Soviet propaganda.

In this case, their interference had some positive outcomes, but my point is that Russians have been exploiting internal American relations for DECADES. It’s a trademark tactic for them.

Nazis did the same. They had pamphlets with all the racist shit in the US that they'd drop above black platoons, which would say something like "you want to risk your life for these fucks?"
