Trump’s so-called Proud boys, racist gangs, and other Roaming bands of white supremacists trawled the streets of Washington D.C. on Saturday, setting fires to Black Lives Matter banners, burning Black churches, stabbing fights, and attacking minorities in what appeared to be a free-for-all outpouring of racist rage.
These recent racist attacks and illegal actions by Trump’s so-called racist groups and gangs further demonstrate the extent that white privilege extends to white supremacist groups in America.
By that evening, members of the white nationalist Proud Boys group began spreading out across the D.C. area, pulling Black Lives Matter signs off of historically Black churches and destroying them—including by setting the signs afire

President Trump notoriously told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by” during the presidential debates in September, and it appears that they have consequently responded to the statement as marching orders in light of their leader’s electoral loss.
At some point last night, the white racist nationalist attacked innocent citizens who were walking home.. mostly African Americans. The question that many Americans are now asking is why the Democratic party leaders are silent in midst of these terrible atrocities.
Many in the African American communities are calling for community defense groups to protect their communities because the police and other American law enforcement agencies appear to have failed the very citizens that they are supposed to protect.
