That's fair. Wasn't directed toward you, but more Skip in the video above.
It's so frustrating to listen to white people who just don't get it, or don't want to get it. I get sick of hearing the whole 'couldn't they do it another way?' point. I mean, really. Why does it ****ing matter how gentle they were with THEIR protest? Why would anyone, trying to get an issue discussed and make people pick sides on a very serious issue, do so in a way to ruffle the least feathers as possible? The **** blows my mind.
Why the **** should we even have to worry about offending people. Black folks are literally dying in the street, and we have to be gentle with our delivery when we expect **** to change?
Honestly, if those good white people don't speak up soon and continue to try to appease both sides, this is gonna get uglier than it is now. Much uglier.
Even if you try to protest or discuss it in the nicest, most soft spoken way possible, they'll still just bring up "But what about Chicago and black on black crime?" They're not trying to hear you no matter what you say or how you do it. They're trying to pretend like the form of protest is what's making them mad, when we all know what it's really about.
