not to say i support violence, but i do think it’s quite funny that non-black people are criticizing protesters for being violent bc “it’s not gonna get us anywhere/anything done” meanwhile, everything the united states has ever acquired is the direct result of violence (1/-)
against marginalized communities. like do y’all think slavery was peaceful? do you think the natives were non-aggressively forced off of their land? or is violence only acceptable when white people are the perpetrators?(2/2)
ALSO, not to mention the white people that were protesting their inability to get a haircut while literally holding shotguns in their hands like 3 weeks ago. where was all this talk of non-violence then?? (3/3)
MIGHT I ADD (sorry to keep this thread going lmao) isn’t the boston tea party one of the most celebrated (and successful) events in US history?? were they not rioting then?? like please evaluate your cognitive dissonance i’m BEGGING
