We found these two cartoons online which truly depict the mind of white-America when the US Capitol violence is put into perspective. The cops and armed forces rolling out the carpet for white coup plotters but would kill an innocent black person for the flimsiest of reasons.

The US Capitol has not been breached since 1812, and in 2021, a group of white militias stormed the Capitol taking selfies and video recording the entire process.

Now, imagine if that was Black people who did the same. The entire national guard would have been brought out to open fire on them, all in defense of the seat of government.

But in what is now referred to as a coup, privileged white Trump supporters attempted a coup, and we watched as white police pampered them, and gave them the chance to hold America to ransom.

Many people around the world have condemned the way the American police force allowed the Trump supporters to attempt a coup but would fire on a Black person if he as much as tried to enter the building by force.

Many leaders of thought in the Black community have raised their voice in saying that the police should treat Black protesters how they treat white protesters in America.

In her speech on MSNBC on Wednesday's network coverage, Joy Reid said: “The reason they could film themselves throwing things around the walls of our Capitol, our property, go inside the Capitol, sit at Speaker Pelosi’s desk, taking pictures of themselves, have that played on Fox News… they know that they are not in jeopardy.”

She continued saying that “The cops are taking selfies with them, walking them down the steps to make sure that they are not hurt. Taking care with their bodies. Not like they treated Freddie Gray’s body...” 

“White Americans aren’t afraid of the cops,” said Reid. “White Americans are never afraid of the cops, even when they are committing insurrection, even when they are engaged in attempting to occupy our capitol to steal the votes of people who look like me because in their mind, they own this capitol; they own the cops.” 

“And people like me have no damn right to try to elect a president,” she continued. “They get to pick the president. They own the president. They own that house. They own this country.” 

It was obvious to all watching that she was upset. And no matter what anyone (Trump Supporter or not) thinks, this is the true nature of America. And it is not going to change anytime soon.
