Objects and corporate profits are not more important than justice.
Black Americans are breaking under the terror of police lynchings and hundreds of years of violent victimization by the state, and you support this? This is a racist dogwhistle.

What good does it do for rich people holed up in their fancy properties far away from the places where police are LITERALLY putting their knees on black people's necks to lecture those confronting this to stop "hurting" property?
Maybe even stupid American celebs, unlike, apparently, Australian ones, understand that the symbolic value of finger wagging people at the breaking point is nothing more than useless white supremacist virtue-signaling
designed to take focus away from the reasons for the protests and onto bad actors who can be blamed to further demonize black Americans and their demand for justice and safety.
Meanwhile, celebrities who actually have a stake in what's happening in their actual communities *are* speaking up. People like Peter Ford simply ignore them because they don't fit their preconceived notions of what "celebrities" look like. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/killer-mike-speech-atlanta-protestors-press-conference-1007816/
ENOUGH.
I had been a huge fan of
@RobertOsterInk, but the ink world is large enough that I can choose instead to patronize those who at the very least can refrain from agreeing with and boosting voices that put order above justice and property above black lives.

If any of you want to denounce people responsible for violence, start with THE POLICE. https://twitter.com/cmclymer/status/1266807973780885506
Don't pretend "protesters" are the ones driving the violence. That is a deliberate framing to delegitimize the reasons for the protests and the people who have the most urgent reasons for protesting.
I am muting this thread because I am utterly uninterested in anyone who wants to defend the Peter Fords of this world.
I don't care if my followers on YouTube or Instagram fall to 0 and stay there.
Justice is more important than order.
Black lives are more important than stores and cars.
