The images are from South Africa. So while they are blacks attacking whites, they're several years old and not from BLM attacks in the US.

If the Obama wants to turn the US into South Africa does that help to make the pictures relevant?

As in "This is what your father or mother will look like next year sometime".

Relevant? Absolutely.

Correct? No, it lied.

I'd have been perfectly happy for them to actually show what blacks are already doing in South Africa and what will increasingly happen to whites here in the US, as the rate of assaults on whites by blacks is already over 20 times as high by rate per capita as the reverse, and when it comes to AGGRAVATED assaults, like you see in those images, the rate per capita is over 200 TIMES as high for black on white assaults vs white on black.

So yeah... make that point and I'd be all for it.

But claim these are BLM supporters doing that here in the US and you've just lied and made a false point. The CLAIM is false, even if the images do show something very real and important.

That's why I pointed it out. They could have used the images to make a good point without lying. They chose not to.
