Why have people got such an issue with others standing up to racism?
Do you have any values?

People will say they don't, but they'll accuse someone who speaks out on the issue of hating their country, God, etc. They will insist on doing nothing to address problems for years and years. They will ignore and ridicule peaceful protestors as "communist," "far-left extremists," etc.
After years and years of this, there is scarcely another option but to resort to violence or to accept the injustice.
Since these people are opposed to the rioting in the streets, in addition to the speaking out and the peaceful protesting of years past, the only possible conclusion is that these people want everyone to accept the situation as it is with no change.
People are like this because they feel powerless and are afraid that justice will give them even less power. For the billionaire class, this is actually true. But for poor whites, in a number of cases, actual justice would give them more power as well.
