Biden says if that were BLM they would have been treated very differently.

I mean, yeah, but it feels damned good for the upcoming president to have the capacity to recognize that obvious truth.
I'm starting to feel hopeful that yesterday's events, along with the fact that he got the senate, might've been the push we needed for more aggressive change from the left.
I have so little faith in Biden, but I will always give credit when he's right, even if it's a bit surprising.
I was glad this was a big talking point on CNN. It was so obvious there is a huge discrepancy and the more it gets brought up the faster there will be change. The more it gets brought up the less resistant people will be, and then they'll start to support positive change and boom now we're making a stew.
Him actually coming out and saying it for everyone to hear does give me some hope maybe things can be changed.
people might call us dumb but I agree. this was trumps final act at showing what kind of society he wants. Americans rejected that on Nov 3rd and Jan 5th. Some GOP members will try to save themselves for 2022/2024 so I think we're going to see a lot of bipartisan legislation being passed with the more progressive policies either being party line votes + 1 or with a couple straggler GOP votes
Now with yesterday's horrible events (and the actually good certification of Biden's win) behind us I'm once again feeling hopeful for the change we're about to see under the Biden administration.
I view yesterday as an amazing self-own by those that terrorized the Capitol- they accomplished nothing and only set themselves back considerably with their actions. Extremely unfortunate it happened at all, but it's going to be a catalyst for real change and optimistically I think even a bit of much needed unity as well.

We don't even have to make up hypotheticals. We have the crackdown on the BLM protest in D.C. in 2020 to directly reference. The difference in federal response is as clear as night and day.
I mean he's right, but this isn't some profound statement either.
The real question is, are you going to hold those accountable responsible? That's the thing that never happens in these situations, we just pontificate about how things are so unjust and uneven...then not do anything.

No joke, its obvious to everyone at this point, and have been for a while.
This just took it to a level we've not seen yet.
showing just how much restraint they had just highlight JUST how biased they are.
Now all those people who were pissed at Biden for not going in harder or mincing words about what happened yesterday, well here you go.
On some level it's good that a mainstream politician isn't tiptoeing around that.
