RIP George Floyd

[hipstermike]

Minnesota getting shook.

This is why riots work.

It has to hurt


Poster boards hurt nobody but trees.

Riots are nothing compared to ANY LIFE LOST.

Material things can be replaced. Your soul cannot be.

To give you one answer, went to Fordham to clean up earlier. It aint protesting but I feel like im doing MY part in helping my community.

Cleaning for what???? That ain’t your job.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

you don’t know me or how I would raise my kids. I’d never condone violence. That’s never the answer playa.

Aight. Raise your kids to just let people do whatever they want to them without fighting back.

So whats my job?

Seems like you’re just trying to get ppl to be on a violent side. And if they’re not, you’re placing them as an enemy.
What makes what your doing any different than the oppressors? Isn’t this how all this **** started?

no
it started when yall went and took us from our homeland
and brought us here as slaves

 

[ksteezy]

Says the guy who rooted for Haitians being deported and brutalized in DR. F out of here.

Spoiler

you ain’t really trying to have that conversation like adults and you just want a rally behind you, when you want to act like a man, feel free to answer my DM

Who's too busy fighting each other? There isn't a both sides stance to take here. You're either for justice or not, looting be damned. Being peaceful hasn't worked (the govt assassinated MLK). There are PLENTY of examples of massive disruption paying dividends in this country. So nah we ain't being passive anymore.

And that's silly as hell equating anything said in here to the oppressors, if any of us had a ¹/10th of the power they had this **** would have already been changed. We're going to exhaust every option (like Malcolm said by any means necessary) to get the changes we deserve. And if that makes you too uncomfortable, well that's just too damn bad.

You do know Malcolm X eventually stopped believing the whole “By Any means necessary” sentiment right? He actually embraced peaceful protesting without violence.

This doesn’t happen without protests. This doesn’t happen without riots. Pressure.

Everything happening right now is necessary and warranted. Property can ultimately be replaced, innocent black lives being murdered and assaulted by police brutality and racist animals, you can’t replace those lived


I remember the LA riots going down when I was a kid. It wasn’t just the Rodney King verdict which caused them. It was all the incidents prior like the Latasha Harlins, and numerous other police brutality incidents where nothing happened. The frustration and tension was there. The verdict was just the spark which lit everything up. I see similarities in the sense that people have been on edge, the anger and frustration has been there, and everything last week was the tip of the iceberg.

I was saying the other day, I hope 10 years from now we’ve progressed as a society, and there’s an overhaul in how policing in America is done. But na F that. I hope in 2020 we make that progress and of what’s going on right now eventually accomplishes it, so be it.

My oldest son is a senior in high school. I can’t even imagine how crappy it is for a black parent to have to be worried every day their kid goes to school that some police calling happy Karen or Blake could potentially put their child in a dangerous problematic situation with one call just because. That hurts on so many levels.

 

[Kinfolk]

You got it.

Wow.

What a garbage way to be.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

no

I’ve never believed you fight fire with fire. because that’ll Just hurt innocent people. An eye for an eye will make the world go blind.

How did you come to this belief? What is it that made you feel that self defense, is somehow wrong?

 

[dasitmane]

WTF DO THEY NEED BAYONETS FOR

Do they even use bayonets still?

 

[Guccishades]

you don’t know me or how I would raise my kids. I’d never condone violence. That’s never the answer playa.

Never say never. God forbid someone is attempting to bring bodily harm or kidnap your children you’d be singing a different tune

 

[wayniac211]

So whats my job?

Clean your own spot. Them streets don’t belong to you.

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Hank Scorpio do you own a business?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

How did you come to this belief? What is it that made you feel that self defense, is somehow wrong?

And the fact that he said he would tell his CHILD to not fight back is even wilder.

 

[picasso swerve]

Clean your own spot. Them streets don’t belong to you.

Uhhh ok lol.

 

[kilroythedon]

IF someone broke into your home and you were face to face with him, would you use force to protect yourself?

 

[el presidente]

Bruh this LAPD call

They been going in for HOURS

 

[tomdiginson]

White man been beating on the black man for years. The Black man has peacefully asked for you to stop and they've continued. Now that the black man gripped your hand and stopped you from further attacking him, you're crying for peace. We haven't even started yet
