Opinion

Stuart's and Mara's attempts (in online comment trails) to justify the presence of white supremacy, anti-Semitic signs and violent rhetoric amongst protesters reminds me of other such blatant dismissals of responsibility.

When discussing women's rights we often hear, “not all men”.

When the BLM movement is discussed, we hear “all lives matter”.

And now we hear “not all protesters”.

Would you run through a cancer fundraiser shouting that “there are other diseases too!” . . . ?

Or crash someone's funeral to shout “I too have felt loss!” . . . ?

All you're doing is denying the racism, misogyny, lies and violent rhetoric which is very clear to those of us who aren't inside your circles. That dismissal shuts down a very important conversation.
