Cops started the violence. Not protestors, not “outside agitators”, not “white anarchists”. You’re falling for the state’s propaganda if you’re snitching on anyone who broke shit, sorry.
A person of color did yell at a white person for throwing shit at a cop car because it endangers Black Lives and that is a completely valid point. But several other people of color loudly disagreed with that man, saying “burn it all down”
The point being, if you werent there you can’t speak for the community. Black people are not a monolith. I’m sure some were chill with breaking shit and some weren’t, to say all that shit was started by white people is completely invalidating the autonomy of black people
Black people can make their own decisions, white people arent out here forcing the protest to do shit. If I’m wrong on this call me out but I don’t see the point of pretending that no one but white anarchists wants to break shit.
Instead of blaming property damage on people you could instead realize that there is no NEED to blame it on anyone because property damage, looting, etc, are not morally wrong! Because what happens when it’s definitely a person of color who broke something?
Then you have to backtrack and defend breaking shit, when you should’ve been defending it the whole time.
As a footnote to this thread I’d like to add one more time: I’m white. I made it home safe. If I’m wrong, call me out. I mean that. I am listening.
