Been saying tho,people with real power gotta stand up or else they’ll lose the people trust.

unbelievable

lol @ how she fames her wording

Trump rolled back Obama's police reforms 2017. Not saying there was necessarily an improvement in that regard by that point, but we shouldn't even have to amend this.

Idk enough about protest history, so I need some help.

What is the strategy of a peaceful protest? Like what is supposed to end up happening? I dont know if I worded this well, but I hope I get some good answers

be a cheap ass nigga

Ideally a peaceful protest disturbs the flow of society so that people are forced to confront the message of the protest

its to spread awareness

but in this case everyone already fkn knows about police brutality towards people of color so idk what they are trying to accomplish.

Peaceful protests are still meant to be disruptive. Just non-violent.

How will it disturb anything if its peaceful?

I know it brings attention to the subject, but is it really changing anything if it is just peaceful?

It did seem to work pretty well for Gay rights though

1. Protest peacefully but still create some inconvenience for the rest of the ppl

2. Receive abuse or get shut down by the state (police)

3. Document the treatment the protestors got and diffuse it to the rest of the population to create some indignation

4. Use that outcry to make some changes

Lol so apparently Boston cops breaking vehicle was because they needed to replace the windshield so had to break it totally

Sus

its also been done time and time again in the past with no results so....

How so? Like disrupts people's thoughts or causes some chaos in the city

What kind of inconvenience

It disrupts the movement of people and thus disrupts the local economy.

Peaceful protest only work if the people are willing to be a symbol and sacrifice themselves to show all the injustices they face to a worldwide audience.

End goal is to have people support the movement with overwhelming threat to politicians and businesses. Antiwar protests along with American soldiers dying in Nam was what made America take it's L and head back home. If politicians are at threat of losing office and businesses are gutted of paying power they have to bend to people's will to call for congress to pass reform

can anyone recommend some good books on race theory in the US? Looking for older texts written by black authors

isn't this donation shaming though?

the comments that he made under those instagram videos are more revealing imo

I dont remember gay rights protests like this, right? Or maybe I dont remember

Shutting down streets, barring the entrances of buildings, etc.
