The 80-second long video featured a group of African American protesters led by a muscular African American man wearing a tank top and speaking in a rough and vulgar tone as he described the gap between rich and poor as the main cause of their outrage.
I wonder how they came to the conclusion it really boils down to socioeconomics? That’s outrageous! It doesn’t have anything to do with rich white people hoarding all the wealth and property and profiting off the suffering of the poor who are disproportionately black.

Aside from the ghetto thug and bluesman stereotypes I believe the criticism was that nothing was said about police brutality or George Lloyd. I don't think anyone with sense would complain about economics being put forth as a major factor.

Well, speaking to the people from African countries that have been living there long term, they experience a lot of open racism on a daily basis. My friend's friend and classmate got hounded by police for being black and having a rubber in his wallet asking "Are you going to **** Japanese girls with this?". Also spoke to a dude outside a karaoke bar that had been living there for a decade, had a kid with a woman there, and her parents didn't like him only because he's black.
