Pic re: @theblackpowermovement Non-violent protests are structured in a way causes dialogue around the injustices being committed. They *must* occur and be inconvenient because we privileged people do not take enough initiative on our own to research racial issues and/or take consistent action to create a more equal society. White people who attempt to determine when and how it's okay for black people to protest against state sanctioned racism must recognize that this requires some nerve on our part. I urge you to reflect inwardly: What does it say about us if the most we have to say publicly about a protest is that we don't like how it's being done, instead of that we are ready to take a stand against the injustices being protested? On top of that, white people benefit from the systems that disproportionately harm black people. If I feel safe calling the police, but many people of color do not, this is a system that is set up in a way that benefits me while at the same time harming people of color. This shouldn't just be a concern for people of color, but for white folks as well. To me the question goes beyond, "why do black people have to protest this way?" and into, "why, as a white person, do we think it's okay not to take a stand against racial injustices? How severe does the racism in our country have to be before we are willing to take a stand? Would we have stood up against and protested segregation? What about slavery? What does it say about our moral character if we simply leave racism for people of color to fix themselves (while they also have to deal with it first hand in their daily lives?)" I believe that the *least* us white folks can do is to learn about racism with the goal of taking consistent action. We have the privilege of not *having* to deal with racism on a daily basis...a luxury that people of color do not have. Let us take less pride in thinking "I'm not a racist" and consider more critically what it means to be a casual bystander to the racism that occurs in our country. And even if most white people *will* be casual bystanders, as we have been throughout history, let that not be enough to make us feel content with our inaction.
