Reactions on social media varied, including some who said the white supremacist organization the Klu Klux Klan isn’t termed a terrorist group by the government.
The organizer began her shouting by demanding the reporter help the protestors. “The consequences of what we saw in Dallas is due to their efforts”.
“I hadn’t heard anything about it”, said chapter President Joe Watson.
Wright Rigueur said those platforms, and the tech companies that run them, are struggling to adapt- trying to limit negative content, but still leave space for expression.
“Wear that silently, don’t have to say nothing, just wear your T-shirt”, Watson said.
Watson said he may attend the rally on Wednesday if it happens and if it is nonviolent.
Arguing that people like Giuliani need to stop reading “Black Lives Matter” with the word “only” in the middle of it and instead recognize that it means “Black Lives Matter, too”, Meyers moved on to praise conservatives like Paul Ryan and Newt Gingrich for acknowledging what white people don’t understand about being black in America. They say the vehicle then drove off before stopping a block away. Asian lives matter. Hispanic lives matter. Tampa Police had officers manning the side streets to block cars as the protesters walked down Ashley Drive.
“To my youth, especially to my youth, do not resist, put your hands behind your back, let them cuff you”.
“I’ve never seen a white person discriminated against the way a black or brown person is discriminated against.” he said.
Pastors are planning to host a prayer vigil at 5:30 p.m. July 18 in front of Seaside City Hall, in light of the violence. When the protesters started to march, police were there beside them, keeping traffic at bay. “The frustration of the community came to my mind”.
Watson said in places across the country, African Americans are profiled by the police, but on the Monterey Peninsula, he thinks the relationship with the community is good but could be better.

In an interview with CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday, Giuliani said the Black Lives Matter movement – a group that advocates dignity, justice, and respect – is only causing deeper divisions and racial tensions in the United States.
