Alright let me drive at the question I think he was asking a little more directly.
Do you think that if the crowd storming the Capitol was majority people of colour the response by law enforcement would have been different? - NorthNuck
Yes, they would never have been allowed access. The blm protest was bigger, more violent and more righteous then the capital "coup". The police allowed the Maga crowd access. If they'd allowed the blm protest in, more physical damage would have resulted.
I don't know who or why the decision was made not to properly staff the security at the capital but the shat the bed and allowed, through incompetence or intention, the Maga crowd in. Most were not violent, but there were some violent wingnuts involved who did cause damage, more of a non physical nature though through the tarnishing of the image of "freedom".
Left vs right is a social construct to keep the majority down, fight each other instead of looking around and finding solutions to the problems that affect us all. Doesn't matter on a meta level who's in power, as long as it's a two party system, nothing will actually change.
“Meanwhile, keep an eye on Tony DeAngelo of the New York Rangers. We know that he’s been told to go home and await a trade, and there’s a ton of interest in him all of a sudden. I’m told, according to source, that DeAngelo could be moved within the next few days.”
Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News: It will be interesting to see what teams would be willing to give Anthony DeAngelo another shot. Are the Rangers willing to retain salary to move him?
Teams that are rebuilding like the Ottawa Senators or Detroit Red Wings can’t risk the negative influence that DeAngelo could bring to their young teams. Teams that are already good may not be interested in bringing in the potential headache.
Avs notes on the expansion draft, backup goaltender and their blue line
Peter Baugh of The Athletic: (mailbag) The 32-year old Erik Johnson has a no-movement clause and would need to be protected for the Seattle Kraken expansion draft. He carries a $6 million salary cap hit through 2022-23. The Colorado Avalanche could see if he’d be willing to waive it for the expansion draft. It’s unlikely the Kraken would be interested. If he waives it, the Avs could protect Devon Toews. The Avs would likely then lose one of Tyson Jost, J.T. Compher, Joonas Donskoi or Ryan Graves.
Interesting.
Maybe a chance to strike a deal with Colorado at seasons end for one of Toews or Graves? - Reubenkincade
Graves had one good year season and now he's having a pretty bad start to the season.

It's nice that you wrote a couple paragraphs and all, but I didn't ask anything related to BLM or political parties.

If all those involved switched skin tone, but were still Maga supporters then? Do we also switch the skin tone of the security detail?
The way that went down was directly related to political parties, right, kinda hard to disassociate from being a political protest because it was a politically driven protest, without having it be political.
So if everybody involved switched skin tone, from the top down, but maintained their political ideology... then it would have gone down exactly like it did. It's a little racist to assume otherwise. By that I mean if America was a black majority, white minority country with a history of white slavery and there was a black pro trump(who'd be a black Trump in your question) protest I couldn't see the black police treating the black protesters any differently then the white police treated the white protesters....
Or are you saying that had it been a black, pro trump protest in a white America, would it have turned out differently? In which case, it would have, yes. It wouldn't have been framed as a coup, the narrative would be different. The actual protest would have probably been the same though.
Hard to say, I used blm because it's a known quantity that has a protest within a year at the same location with vastly different results. I think you'd need to define the question better to actually answer the question. I'm in record of being pro blm and ACAB so don't define my answer as rhetoric.
