Evidently. I swear to God, it seems like Black people are always sticking their neck out for other POCs and then when it gets down to it, the other POCs aren’t there to back them up.
Although with the George Floyd protests, there have been a very diverse amount of people protesting which has been very good to see.

You can post it on here, if you want to. I already told you I think it’s a really good idea, and it’d be good to get a wider perspective on it. Besides, if anybody thinks there’s something wrong or offensive with it, they’ll tell you. Nobody’s gonna rip you to shreds, I don’t think.

You can post it on here. There’s nothing wrong with the idea and if anybody crosses the line between criticism and outright harassment, I personally will make sure they’re flagged.

Do you know what I find ironic? The people condemning the riots are the same people saying they need to protect their guns just in case they need to rise up against a tyrannical government

Also, this is definitely not against guidelines! We only ask that you use credible news sources and make sure to let us know if you find out that anything you said is wrong!

Also there are clearly some plants. I was watching a great video about how when riots happen and the police turn violent, it usually happens after someone throws a rock or something at the police…
…but we don’t know who threw the rock. We don’t know if they did it to give the police a reason to retaliate

Usually I’m the kind of person against any kind of violence but we don’t know who started the riots and the protesters are getting blamed and now things have gone insane. So yeah I stand with the riots. I stand with #Black Lives Matter.

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO GET YOUR VOICE HEARD IF YOU’RE UNDER 18:
This isn’t just limited to elections! You can still do some of these things to support BLM and raise awareness for Pridefall as well!

Yeah the only thing I can really do rn since my parents don’t really let me donate to these sorts of things is sign petitions, so later I think I’m gonna find some stuff to sign. Due to the whole virus I don’t really want to leave my house, nor do my parents since they think it’s gonna get worse so…
They support these kinds of things but we’re kind of tight on money rn so we probably wouldn’t be able to donate much anyway.

The thing Trump said proves he cares more about a bunch of rich people’s property than the lives of his own people. He’d shoot people over looting? Yeah it proves that BLM is seriously needed. He thinks that black lives matter less than Target losing its inventory

Something about this recent case of murder (1st DEGREE MURDER, by the way) has brought out the radical in me.
Like as a black woman growing up in NYC, I’ve seen cops mistreat people before, especially black people, like me. And in my school? It’s oddly women of color (who also happen to be… black) who are mistreated after/during a fight… I normally stay on the sidelines or tend not to voice my opinions about this kinda stuff, but honestly? F—k cops. I’m tired of racism, cops getting away with murder, an unfair justice system… I’m so damn tired of it. I’ve had just about enough.
It is a constant cycle of the police killing an innocent black person, people getting angry, BLM tweets and then no punishment. Every time I see a police car or an officer my anxiety levels skyrocket because I’m so f—king scared that I’m gonna get racially profiled or even shot just for being black. Especially where I am right now. I shouldn’t be scared of walking outside and living my life because of my skin color. I should trust the people who protect us, but knowing that the police force is an inherently racist system (early KKK members were actually police officers… and slave-catchers when the Fugitive Slave Law/slavery was legal), that’s what terrifies me. See the way they broke into Breonna Taylor’s house and killed her? I don’t want that to happen to me. I don’t wanna live my life in fear. And I certainly don’t want my family members/loved ones to be hurt or killed by those goddamn racist pigs.
Every time I hear about a case of “police brutality”, I get infuriated. And that fury has built up more and more and more… and now… I’m sick of it. Sick of cops murdering innocent black people for doing simple f—king things. Wearing a hoodie. Having fun at a bachelor party. Taking out a hairbrush or a cell phone. Selling loose cigarettes. Holding a “forged” $20 bill that turned out to be f–king real. Why the hell would you suffocate a man by putting your knee on his neck for 8 minutes?! What the f—k did he do to deserve that? Oh wait, because he’s black.
Because of our skin color, and not the content of our character, cops are free to kill us.
It’s either you’re for “police brutality” (murder) or against it. Your call.

That’s what I have noticed too. People are instigating the violence which doesn’t seem like they want to be violent. It’s a very strange time right now.
