oooh Austin is already getting spicy

bro I am f***ing mad rn that so many people are buying into this narrative that out of state and white people are the cause of all the destruction. its so condescending and out of touch. they’re trying to downplay everything across 28+ cities by linking to 1 or 2 videos from last night man I am seething

Minneapolis last night was 90% white folks seen it with my own eyes. And apparently most of the arrests were out of state people.

I agree wholeheartedly w what MLK says...

The issue is, I agree w the sentiment of the protesters. I get why they want 2 see s*** burn. F***, I even made a few posts on some "burn that s*** down" type s*** b4 I caught myself. So its hard 4 me 2 say s*** like "these riots are bad/wrong", even if my heart tells me that peaceful protest is the right way 2 go about this s***.

what MLK says abt riots not coming from thin air is true tho, it's not rlly the rioters who were the catalyst here. The root of the problem is in no way near the rioters.

All of this because doja cat didn't show her b****. Crazy

Whether or not a protest is a success or failure is not a function of peace vs violence but a function of organized vs. not organized.

And not a little organized, it needs extreme organization as much as you can give it

maybe not all of it but white anarchists always use big protests/people gatherings to incite violence and destruction

was out in them trenches today fam. great protest and march at the california state capital in sac today!

you were in Minneapolis?

A lot of them are only anarchists in the sense they hate government

The problem is, there 100% is going to be bad faith actors out there inciting violence. There are also going to be groups like Antifa/anarchists that are for the cause, but starting s*** unnecessarily. It muddies the water a lot.

I gotta put my pride to tha side on this one b...

Ion care if it makes me look like a b****, I can't do no harm. Peaceful protest is always more powerful in the long run.

yea its generalizing, but they are the type to break s*** and wear black masks for fun and thats it

no doubt but they’re trying to write off social unrest with an easy narrative

Why are people so mad at desi? Is condemning looting considered racist or something now? Especially since theres videos of black business owners sobbing talking about their business being destroyed. Theres also videos of black people trying to stop WHITE people in masks from destroying property. I have no clue why people are so offended over that

There is enough real civil unrest going on rn. Robbing a luxury store is just robbing a luxury store.

its true but whos saying this? that should be the answer to the question

I respect it because there are peaceful ways to strategically make change

For example?

the majority of successful revolutions are violent

its takes violence to take power away from ones abusing power unfortuately
