#BlackLivesMatter
1) Black people are enraged at injustice and inequality and want to burn shit down, which is an impulse for which it& #39;s worth feeling empathy and grace because property, an anchor for racial inequality in this country, is insured and replaceable while people are not; [2/7]
2) All sorts of people are "looting" and "rioting" because they want stuff, which is frankly the outcome of a racial capitalism that encourages consumption and articulates emancipation through more consumption; [3/7]
3) Police are escalating protests and taking out journalists at night in order to create the optics of chaos and reasonable, sanitized violence; this is a way of preventing white allies from mobilizing; [4/7]
4) White nationalists are using the protests to escalate violence - so are white people that are taking a stand against racial injustice in this country; [5/7]
5) Bad faith political actors are mobilizing the outside instigator narrative as well as the repentant police narrative to delegitimize Black rage as well as cultivate white complacency; be wary of their ethical and moral declarations in this moment; [6/7]
