I have one last thing to say before I log off. I want to talk about how the excessive discussion and amplification of the looting and violence is actually racist in itself. The only reason people keep bringing it up is because it is easier and more convenient to identify a
action, to demonize an entire movement while also justifying the murder of a race, to fulfill your own internal bias and racism. People keep saying that those actions are overshadowing the meaning of the protest and that is a lie. It is being overshadowed because you're
responsible for the overcast! If the true upset were violence, a man shouting "I Can't Breathe" with a knee on his throat and dying is violent! Police ramming their cars into peaceful protestors is violent! The President of the United States condoning violence on his citizens is
violent. But you don't talk about that because you actually believe it's what we deserve. So you choose to cause an uproar over inanimate objects because it covers up the fact that you never really cared at all. A black man dies, you dig up a detention slip, a picture of him
in a durag, or state that we don't know what really happened, whether there is a video or not! Why? Because your only expectation of him is violence. So stop pretending you care about the looting or whatever and just admit that you believe violence is what we deserve.
