[quote=Anonymous][quote]But can I bring a little pillow for when I kneel for forgiveness for my race?

You are so self-centered if you think this about forgiveness for your race. It isn't about your race.

Because it’s such a great idea to fight for racial equality and unity without inviting anyone else to the table.[/quote]

These protests are not primarily about unity. they are about the fact that BLACK LIVES MATTER. About protesting systemic racism and economic inequality and the mental, emotional and physical toll that racism takes on people of color. So, all these white people getting their feelings hurt because they don't like being told "sit back, this is not your fight", feel like people are being "mean" because of all the mixed messages they've gotten in their 13 days of allyship and are now going to take their toys and go home ...you're not woke.

Yes, some of the language was harsh, but people are tired and fed up and the last thing protestors need is other people interrupting with their own agenda. You don't have to do everything the protest organizers tell you but I have witnessed just yesterday organizers asking everyone to sit down and raise their hands in silence and some white dude instead decides to get up and start antagonzing the police because he feels so moved about the injustice done to black people.
