[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like these rules. I'm annoyed by the performative element of white people protesting. I don't think it accomplishes anything and is just there to show other people they're not racist - specifically if they're taking selfies, etc. Civil Rights peaceful protests were effective because they were backed by an extremely organized movement. The current protests will only be effective if the BLM, etc, (generally run by people of color) are actually allowed to run the protests according to their goals and methods. So to me that says white people should show up and do what their told. If you can't do that, then that says to me you're there to show off how unracist you are, rather than to actually make change.[/quote]

Agree. Firmly. [/quote]

No. You don’t get how to recruit allies.

Again — SNCC and CORE did it in the 60s. Did you know that one of the CORE organizers was a Jewish kid from New York? Was he “performing”? Should he have been told to STFU?

He gave his life for civil rights, literally. He was murdered by the KKK in Mississippi.

I doubt you even know the history of this.[/quote]
