So many people had so many negative things to say about BLM protests. They were too disruptive. They were too violent. They should ask nicely.

Funny how those same people (many of them so-called “progressives”) are now leading spontaneous marches against Trump, because now their lives are impacted too, so protesting is more urgent.

The police, not protesters, decide if a protest will remain peaceful or not. You see it when they arrive to a Women’s March wearing pink hats and flowers and hugging white protesters, but arrive to BLM protests in full riot gear. (original post)

One of the main reasons the anti-Trump protests are having an effect is because sO many white people used their white privilege and got involved, and because white media isn’t undermining the protesters (see video).

Don’t misunderstanding me…I’m happy to see so many people protesting Trump…but I can’t help but wonder how much more effective Black Lives Matter protests could be if more white people got involved with those too.
