destroying property/looting/physically harming others is NOT the answer!...

[philmonroe]

I want someone who disagrees with the OP to point out successful violent protest in American/World history and the changes implemented by them.

Truthfully you probably have to go back to them tar and feathering/tea party days to find a period where that seemed to get things done. It was everybody on more equal footing and that was also white on white shyt as far as black people I don't think its many if any but. I could be wrong since this isn't my area of expertise.

Exactly on here just as much as you but have the nerve to be talking that bullshyt. Cats really out hear dreaming like they a muppet baby or some shyt putting extras on what they doing when they log off here (if they ever do).

Off topic love hackers

Breh. I'm still waiting for somebody on here to ask us to protest *their* Job or burn down their job. Considering I'm sure it's white owned also.Its real easy to say burn it down when it doesn't affect you in the least bit.

The cops didn't give a shyt about those stores, notice how in every picture/video of the looting you didn't see any cops around? It's not like they were far away. That was planned and people were telling the cops " Look, I'm burning down the store I shop at". In response the cops go " Cool, the stores where I shop are located this way , but since we set up a perimeter and will keep gassing you back, we're fine. Burn it!!"


People on here to need to lead by example, quit your job or create a thread detailing your place of work so we can protest it..Until then most of them are nothing but talk. I can say that because I know at this moment I'm not doing shyt either.

You can't support destroying non black businesses and then catch feelings when they put up those barriers or look at you funny when you walk in. Just saying.

Anger should be directed at the police/power structure. destroying property in your own neighborhoods does nothing except reinforce the perception that black people are less than civilized.

Yeah. The police actually kept protesters from leaving that confined area in groups. They exacerbated the whole thing and so did the media.

It does look stupid and it does look uncivilized BUT there is a key reason why the people burn down there own shyt.....
























































































Becauese......White folks ain't gonna let you burn down they shyt. I stay in Bham, If it ever pop off, They'll let yo Black ass burn Ensley to the ground, Pratt City to the ground, West End to the ground, etc...

Try going over that mountain talking about burning shyt down. Try burning Fultondale or Gardendale to the ground or burning 280 to the ground. Yo ass would have been killed 30 times for you even got to them shyts..

We got to be smarter about what we do to our communities.

Exactly regarding bold and at least people like us can admit we are really doing shyt. As for the rest of,the post I don't know why people don't see that they are cool,with you tearing down a place where they aren't at do that. Coming into a part they frequent when is the last time that's happened and I'm not even saying it should but just asking. The only way to change things is more of us over time get into power positions and get our money up collectively. That's what speaks louder now not riots over the long term.

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

Sup with these cac talking points? Jordan release? Have you ever been to one? 2/3 of the line are cacs.

Maybe you don't know what would happen to a black militia but I can remind you unless you forgot about the last one.....

oh ok. so how about you form a militia then keyboard warrior and quit being that lame ass nikka in the cut telling folks what they should do?

Is this the twilight zone.

Breh you brought up milita. Im telling you whats Not gonna happen based on past history then ask you to back up this rah rah shyt you're talking about and im a keyboard warrior? The ole switch a roo huh?

So i guess lame is not advocating violence just for the sake of violence, guess im that dude then.

 

[PikaDaDon]

I really, really loathe the reaction to the rioting. When black people riot it's, "Those animals!", "Those savages!", "Why don't they go back to Africa??", "See? Look at them! They're inherently violent and uncivilized!"

You don't hear any of this shyt when white people riot.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I mentioned this on facebook


Rioting has happened and existed for centuries.... And more times than not some kind of change has happened because of the incidents.

I believe in non-violent approach but where did that get George Zimmerman?


As long as people aren't getting killed, I say let them riot. It's over an important cause that needs light shed upon it. There were like 20 riots worldwide in 2012, all over various issues. Some more insignificant than others

One riot in the 17th century killed tens of thousands of ppl I believe. People riot when feeling oppressed... It's human nature

Where would you hear it? Blacks don't own any television or radio stations in America.

Are you expecting White people to say other white people are "Animals" or "Savages" because you are going to be waiting for a long time.

One. Those businesses are insured.
Two. Those businesses don't benefit the black community but take away from it.
Three. Responding to violence with non-violence has never worked at any time in history.
Four. The OP is 100% bytchmade. If you scared...say you scared.
Five. 1 star.

What you doing though? You said yourself that all you do all day is drive around depressed smoking cigarettes and you project that angst on the coli 24-7. It's real easy for you to advocate the destruction of someone else's property from behind a damn computer screen.

That's my point. Taking it out on businesses in your own communities that service your needs whether you want to admit it or not is coward shyt.
