funny how nobody is referring to these protestors as 'white'.

it's only a racial thing when black people break the windows, clearly.

because their race isnt important, when you include "black protests bla bla" its usually to emphasize that it was about race issues. the main reason why you dont see "white protester" however is because we're not monkeys

My only beef is that the attitude towards protesting/rioting involves a huge degree of confirmation bias. All the people who complain endlessly about BLM riots seem to turn a blind eye whenever there's a sports riot. So does that mean that football scores are more riot-worthy than police brutality and mass-incarceration?

I don't support rioting in any fashion, but the hypocrisy here is palpable.

All I'm reading is, "it's not a race-thing with white protestors 'cuz I say so."

it's racial because they do it for racial reasons

when they break windows because #BLM they do it because "BLACK POWER" or whatever
if they do it because boohoo Annoying Orange won they're just doing it because they're babies or something and it isn't racially motivated

please learn to rise above the SJW style of arguing where you covertly call everyone tribal because "muh duble stnderds"

[Poliwhirl]

there's a lot more peaceful protesting going on than anarchist rioting at the moment

[Whackin]

All I'm reading is, "it's not a race-thing with white protestors 'cuz I say so."

its not a race thing because Annoying Orange isnt inflicting with their rights/they think Annoying Orange is inflicting on their rights. they're protesting because of whatever issue that they have with Annoying Orange; most likely not about white rights. maybe womens, but not white rights.

yea but the rioting is certainly having more of an effect, isnt it?

not really? breaking windows isn't affecting anything other than repair costs.

well repair costs well over 100 is more of an effect than like, nothing.

they're actually doing a demonstration that is, relatively speaking, more effective / meaningful



less literally effective than it is as a metaphorical kind of thing (shutting down a checkpoint)
