Protests and Riots Thread

so how long are all of these protests going to continue? what's their end goal?

The end goal is social and structural change that allows people of color to live freely without fear of authority.

The systems and institutions in our country continue to disenfranchise and marginalize people of color. Those of us who are white but are not speaking up about the problem are complicit in systemic racism. 

At the protest my wife and I participated in yesterday, there was a large emphasis on listening to the stories of black people and the racism they've experienced. There were also people there who were encouraging protesters to register to vote. 

Sit down with any black people you know and ask them to share their stories with you. Or watch YouTube videos of people sharing their stories. It will break your heart.

The sign I held at the protest read "End White Silence." Black people have been fighting this fight since the first slaves were kidnapped and brought to America in 1619. They can't possibly find true freedom unless white people join them in their fight and stand up against oppression.

I'm sure the other white guys in their cargo shorts at that protest had similar signs.

This is like Claude telling someone to stop bringing their narratives into every thread.

I make jokes about my wife for your guys’ benefit.  I certainly wouldn’t let her make me hold a gay fucking sign on the side of the road while someone I know might be driving by.  That’s just embarrassing.

Ooh, a man who takes charge! 

I'm sure your wife would be really turned on thinking about that while she pegs you.

He supports my lifestyle choices.

One day I'd love to meet cals and learn about his actual opinions on things. It's difficult to tell what's satirical and what's genuine.

Damn that was 17 years ago. I feel old.

[tdawg87]

I met cals in Arizona. I don't remember it.

Probably because I was so used to seeing Saltzer, the world's tallest midget.

[tdawg87]

I spent $400 on a lapdance from some flat white chick. Fucking needed some sobriety on that one.

Thanks, cals.
