The demonstrations on Thursday were largely peaceful, although a Georgia State Patrol officer volunteering in Cleveland was treated at a local hospital Thursday after a demonstrator threw an unknown liquid on him. For a white viewer – or at least for me – it was a little uncomfortable to watch Martin and Scott arguing about which of them had called the other an “Uncle Tom”, or whether blacks were being racist by believing Trump was a racist. “He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it.
