People > Property

White Americans, always so concerned for property, lamenting "destruction" and pointing their passive-aggressive fingers at Black Americans by citing "unrest," yet most seldom express the same anguish over police executions of Black men and women. Instead, White Americans frame their moaning over things as moral and, in reality, continue to parrot the distortions barked out by the venal people on television.

These sirens sound like ghouls, I can hear them screaming from up in the hills, and view the print version via venal tinpot headlines.

I'm not buying these blanket negative characterizations of Los Angeles citizens engaging in democratic protests and memorials for George Floyd from this mayor or from this shrieking mainstream media, given their venal agendas, their delusions of grandeur...
