gay ppl acquired rights through rioting, remember stonewall? women acquired rights through rioting, remember the suffragettes? do you think slaves were just freed out of kindness, or did they revolt? don’t act like it doesn’t work, or that it’s only something black ppl do.

for the absence of doubt I’m not trying to imply the suffragettes were completely good, more so just that the rioting worked. they were most def racist and classist and wanted the rights for themselves but they got what they intended through non-peaceful protest

the ugly conservatives are arriving time to mute stay safe girlies

Honestly it just occurred to me how shitty this statement would look if I was addressing black people who are against the protesting and how I might if came across with a “protesting does work you just suck at it” attitude so for that I apologise bc that was def not my intent
