NPR Claims That Calling a Riot a “Riot” is Racist

The latest excuse.

NPR published an article claiming that calling a riot a “riot” is offensive because it’s “rooted in racism.”

Yes, really.

The article was written by Jonathan Levinson for Oregon Public Broadcasting, the Portland NPR affiliate.

Portland has experienced 93 days of continuous rioting – last night was the first time in that entire period that the city has not seen unrest – but according to Levinson, merely calling a spade a spade is a racist dog whistle.

Levinson’s argument for this position is vague to the point of being non-existent. He appears upset that police are able to declare a riot and use crowd control measures to disperse violent BLM mobs.

His only point appears to be that because crowd control measures were also used in the 60s during the civil rights era, this means that using them today is racist, despite the fact that the clear majority of BLM protesters in Portland are white.

The media now seems to be taking three different approaches to the riots.

Claim that they are largely “peaceful,” as both CNN and CBS News did this week.

Claim that the riots aren’t even happening at all or are minimal, as CNN political analyst Kirsten Powers did.

Or as NPR has done, simply declare that anyone who dares use the words “riot” to describe the mayhem that has plagued American cities for the past 3 months is a despicable racist.

Unfortunately for Democrats, the polls suggest that all three of these methods aren’t working because the unrest is turning voters away from Joe Biden in droves.

Displays of cultural diversity have yet again broken out in the multiethnic utopia of Sweden.

Otherwise known as migrant riots, the latest violence has erupted in Malmo following a Quran burning by an ‘Anti-Islam activist’ according to the BBC.

“A group of angry protesters tried to stop the burning, which resulted in a showdown between them and police,” the report states.

Take a look at the “angry protesters” in action:

That’s not a protest. It’s a riot.

This exact same thing happened last year in the same areas too:

German Media Falsely Claims Muslim Riots in Sweden Were “Right Wing Demos”

Over the last 20 years, Sweden has taken in more refugees per capita that any other western country, a process which has seen Sweden go from being one of the safest countries in Europe to the second most dangerous.

    Reports Claim France Cuts Off Internet Access Amid Riots

    Real or fake?

    It is being reported that the French government has restricted access to the internet in certain areas as the country continues to descend into riotous chaos.

    The reports note that The French Minister of the Interior under President Macron announced on Sunday that in an effort to prevent rioters from organising on social media, internet access would be cut off in hot spot neighbourhoods in the evening.

    Translation:

    However, some are claiming that the reports, and the announcement are fake, with the Ministry of the Interior itself saying that no decision has been taken in this regard.

    Some are still reporting that access to Twitter and social media is patchy:

    Is France really throttling social media?

    This development comes after Macron blamed video games for the rioting which has been ongoing now for more than 5 days in multiple cities.
