The left seemed fixated on the word “movement”. Must be a freudian thing.

“I think it’s great people are showing solidarity,” says Alexandra, who is black. “I think people are just passionate. But as a white person, you’ve got to recognize the space you’re taking up. Just look and see who’s the loudest one talking. White supremacy takes place even in our interactions. You know what I’m saying?”

Go home, whitey. You’re not needed here.

"White people, check your privilege!"

White supremacy takes place even in our interactions.

"Refrain from speaking to the media.

So much for being down with the struggle.

Monkey see, monkey do. It’s to be expected.

I note they don’t protest “in the hood”, but in da stores.The American communists insurection in a land of plenty has a unique flavor of greed.

This is hilarious. Marxists telling off other Marxists.

Even more hilarious is the black Marxists telling light skinned black folk that their skin tone means they’re too white to protest!

“The left seemed fixated on the word “movement”. Must be a freudian thing.”

Words and phrases left over from the Bolshevik revolution. Don’t forget ‘struggle’, it’s a favorite.

White folks discovered cures for the diseases; white folks went to the moon; white folks make all the discoveries; white folks make the best movies; white folks designed the greatest cities in the world; shall I go on?

Sometimes it gives a movement strength to have those who are not directly affected supporting the movement. They can say things that those directly affected may find it harder to say.

But inevitably, people’s ingrained social position will start asserting itself. The two races need to be understanding and helpful to each other in this and explain gently rather than being confrontational.

That said, I think this whole protest has been cooked up for different reasons that the protesters think (most of them—a few know the score). Maybe brotherhood and sisterhood between the two racial groups will help them see how they are being used.

Undesirables taking up space...where have we heard that logic reasoning before?

How about useless eaters?

Genocidal racists are all the same.

Why not? Indoor plumbing and the flush toilet come to mind. Not sure who gets credit for toilet paper...

But ya gotta clean up after the 'movement' is done.

A: Yeah
Q: Do you care that Whitey killed 700,000 of each other to free you?

.."But as a white person, you've got to recognize the space you're taking up."...

I say the same about blacks like her-breating good air someone more useful could use.

True, but in all fairness, I had to say that blacks are probably better athletes - such as football, and basketball.

These “protests” remind me of the WALK made by Forrest Gump. Remember all the people following him? Same exact mindset.

And their response to that is: that’s only because white people have been keeping blacks down for centuries. If not blacks would have discovered/invented everything.
