No offense but if you’re triggered by being called racist than ACTUAL racism going on in the world well you might need to examine that. Hit dogs are going to holler. Using a singular example of someone calling you racist due to you expressing an opinion as something to denounce a thing that’s been going for 400+ years is racist. You don’t get to control or narrate how anyone protests in this country. You want to denounce racism (and basically claim it doesn’t exist anymore because YOU got called one) but want to dictate how a protest against RACISM goes? That doesn’t make any sense. And no offense to your examples but those two protests you mentioned still have groups of people who are treated like second class citizens in America so what was really your point of comparing protests to each other? Evidently there is no correct way to protest. I suggest you do the work (RESEARCH) and reading before you claim racism is no long alive because it’s stupid and dangerous. You may not have been racist from the initial story you told but everything after that sentence is pure racism.I am definitely not trying to defend any racists or racism here but I do think trying to make everyone and everything PC has allowed people play the racism card way too much now even in instances where race doesn’t even matter! People got offended with me after I said that I thought looting and destroying businesses by burning down buildings was wrong and then accused of racial profiling for saying that. I’m sorry but what does being against seeing the business someone worked so hard to build up only for it to be closed due to a viral outbreak for two months and finally getting a chance to reopen only for it to be destroyed by looters and rioters have to do with race? Maybe I don’t like people doing that because my dad has his own small business that he spent 40 years in making it successful and if it were to be looted and destroyed, I’d lose everything because it is my main source of income? I never mentioned race in my comment. And for the record to those who tried to justify the destruction as being necessary and the only way to be heard during a protest I say BS! The March on Washington and the entire women suffrage movement are examples of nonviolent protests that yielded important results and changes and got tons of media coverage and are still being taught in history classes. Don’t use Stonewall as an example for your argument that protesting has to become violent to get results. Those people in the bar just fought back because they were sick of being harassed by law enforcement for years. It is a completely different situation than protesting the death of a person caused by police brutality. People are claiming way too many things are racist now that the actual definition of the word has practically lost all its meaning.
Edit: Also if you have to begin something with “I’m not racist but” or “I’m not trying to defend racism but” it’s your subconscious telling you’re about to write some dumb shhhhh in your post and to delete it.
