A number of civil rights leaders, including the head of Portland, Oregon’s local branch of the NAACP, Rev. E.D. Mondainé, are calling out the mostly white demonstrations in the city — increasingly violent protests that have now gone on for nearly two months.
“The focus has been moved from where it is supposed to be and made to be a spectacle, a debacle,” Mondainé told a group of protesters late last week, according to NBC News, pointing out that Portland’s demonstrations have long since left “Black Lives Matter” behind.
