Look, she’s helping. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan wants everyone to know that as she watched her city go up in flames, it was white men who were responsible for most of the damage and destruction. We wouldn’t call anyone in Antifa, which has taken over control of the city from its police department, a “man,” but what is the point of her tweet?
I want to acknowledge that much of the violence and destruction, both here in Seattle and across the country, has been instigated and perpetuated by white men.

These individuals experience the height of privilege and are co-opting peaceful demonstrations that were organized by and meant to center people of color, particularly Black Americans.

Let’s be clear, they were white progressive men.

Great…a blond white woman beating a window with an umbrella. Why exactly is she "protesting"?

Mayor Jenny, call them what they are, they are “Antifa”.
If you can’t name them, you will never be able to deal with them.
Arrest them.
Charge them.
Prosecute them.
Send them to prison.Or will you continue with your “catch and release” policy with Antifa?
— Syrah Shiraz (@Syrah_Shiraz) June 1, 2020
I'm guessing that you mean that much of the violence is the work of Antifa, but that, as a Democratic politician, you don't dare mention the word "Antifa" so you are left just saying White Man Bad again, which is always considered an appropriate thing to say by Democrats in 2020.

ANTIFA. Just say it, Mayor. Everyone already knows.

Antifa does seem to have a problem enlisting people of color.
