[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw Citizen's app footage of the DC protest and it was shocking to see not a single person of color there.  Zero diversity.  All white people.  Mostly older or middle aged with a few younger ones.  The only person of color I saw was a jogger who paid little interest to what was happening and kept running along. [b] Should tell you something.  It really looked like a crowd of people who are financially comfortable and just wanted to hang out and unite with each other on their grievances. [/b][/quote]

I think you've misinterpreted this. Per social media, people of color are advising each other to stay home because if the protest is met with violence by police, they will be the first ones hurt.

Yeah, find someone stupid to believe this.  :lol:   My brain hadn't rotted like yours.  There were multiple anti-deportation protests with people who actually have real risks who participated across the country.  LA had a big one.  You are saying again?  POC who are numerous in DC metro area were "told" not to participate because of ICE raiding the protests?  Because what?  Everyone who isn't white looking is likely to be a recent migrant?  Or even an immigrant? Is this 1800s?[/quote]

No, PP, this the era of Trump and Musk — who both came of age in racially segregated environments— and view that as just “great”.  It’s in the age of arresting whoever some poorly trained agent thinks looks the part — and realizing that, under the Trump administration, due process is no longer guaranteed.  We don’t have to be “told”. We understand the history of this country very well. We live it every day. That you reference the “1800s” suggests that you’ve overlooked a lot of information PP.

We were there. I was there. But we are tired. We recognize that 14% of the population can move the needle a bit, but it’s not on us to do the heavy lifting.  [/quote]
