Nothing will change unfortunately. Try harder.

Protests only do so much. People better follow through on this in November.

I don’t think there are rules for these protests. They seem pretty organic to me.

“House rules” on the freedom of speech and assembly. Plenty of issues here.

Ok, Chad. I’ll make a note.

I’ve been to every protest in DC and what she’s asking from what I’m seeing is totally different.- , unity, and support From diverse races standing against injustice. I see no rules? Be human and support change. Follow your heart and do what feels right for the right reasons!

How are you feeling about covid and the crowds? Genuinely asking. We have been conflicted about participating in any in person actions due to virus. My partner is a hard no on taking risk in large crowds. I don’t feel as much at risk, or more the reason for going is so great I’m less cautious (would not be up close). What did you see?

Excellent! Maybe you’ll learn something of value besides petty name-calling.

And perhaps you’ll eventually grow up to be a real boy.

Lol. That’s the best you can do? Okay. Peace Out.

Once again — if the civil rights organizations of the 60s could recruit white people to not only help, but assist in leading the movement, BLM can do so today.

You do not get it.

NP. The list is about behavior at protests. It's not about telling white people not to help/show up. It's about letting black people lead the movement.

I agree. It's their movement.

It’s their movement so I can’t take a selfie, have to make sure I’m standing in the back, and can’t start chants? Give me a break. This list is stupid and we all know it.

Says who? BLM? BS. If we really want racial equality, everyone should be welcome at the table.

+2 - couldn’t agree more. Just like I was happy to see men at the Women’s March - it’s not their fight or their story to tell. I’m not gonna tell black people how to protest and I am perfectly happy to be behind the scenes.

White people are already at the table. Hell, we’ve owned the table. We made them build us a table. We’re already there - they just want a seat at the table. How can you not see that?

You’re not getting it. We’re in the system, but for the anti-racist movement to dismantle the system, we need to be an integral part of the anti-racist movement. We can’t be sidelined and have the movement succeed. White people at the highest levels of power have to be convinced.

Hell — who did MLK have to buddy up to? LBJ, a grizzly white Southerner who frankly was fairly racist in his own right. He had to get LBJ to become the ultimate ally.
