It's a spit in the face at everyone in their community whose lost their jobs, their businesses their livelihoods, their homes over the last several months. All of that was for nothing apparently, because a cop killed somebody in another country.
ETA: To FriendlyNormie, thanks for showing how all this is a bunch of lip service as you advocate murdering a random commenter publicly. You clearly care about your fellow human beings.
Organizing actual in person protests takes effort, resources and pre-existing network of people. That does not happen out of nowhere. That goes for blm protests, anti-lockdown protests, white supremacists protests and anti-racist protests. Past historical mass protests also always had notworks of activists behind them, none happened without at least informal organizational structure existing.
The violence (smashing car) also does not happen out of nowhere. You dont have personally happy peaceful people reading something on Facebook suddenly going violent. There is series of escalations that takes months, getting used to violence step by step that leads to that.
Could you unpack "has been shown"? Are you speaking statistically here?
They have ""bad karma" according to your subjective view of the world. What if that's how they view you? What if a human is the worst thing you could be?
Not sure about the data, but based on the people I see every day and talk to it's poor and mentally ill native and white people. The black community is fairly small here and consists of a few south African families who were not participating in the protests, at least from what I could tell seeing one of the families on the beach that day, while some members of the other were working.
There was an older black Lady who looked at all the white families with their kids protesting who shook her head and called them idiots that i seen but otherwise, it was a bunch of white people yelling about black lives in a community where the main racial problems that do exist are towards natives and there wasn't a single mention about that from those people. The homeless native guy drinking and smoking crack on the street next to them matters less than some guy killed by a cop in the States.
