In 2020, a Black Lives Matter organizer characterized looting as “reparations” and claimed that labeling someone a criminal was “based on racism.” Now a writer has echoed this, insisting in a recent piece that the only solution to “white supremacism” is to “take things from white people.” Worse still, Yahoo! News decided to republish the article, thus giving it vast exposure.
The piece, bluntly titled “Take things from white people,” was authored by an angry man named Michael Harriot and originally published at the grio. It’s essentially a very long rant that opens with the question, “What is the opposite of backlash?” The author then complains about the Supreme Court’s recent affirmative action decision and writes (reality checks inserted in square brackets):

The 3 things we hate to see in a Red State:
1. A BLM Looter
2. An ANTIFA Rioter
3. A Californian with a UHaul.
Go for it, homie. I suggest you begin in Martha’s Vineyard and Malibu.
In cities where gun laws prevent the ordinary citizen from carrying.
"One of the arguments against Black reparations is that it would cost too much. However, the $10 to $12 trillion in federal expenditures that the leading scholars estimate pales in comparison to the principal and compounding interest on the stolen labor that created the racial wealth gap. It certainly wouldn’t cost white people $800,000 — the difference in the wealth of the average white household compared to a Black household.

I won't comment. Its not worth a response.
I’ll take “things that get you killed in Texas” for 100 Alex.
Well played, sir.
If they take enough from white people, won’t they then become white people?
Hating Whites is not racist.
We’ve already given them things - freedom, welfare, affirmative action, our cities, our safety, their own holidays - lots of stuff.
How about taking classes?
I mean real classes (the “three r’s”) (btw, those classes can be taught by people of all races)
This is a problem, good thing there’s a solution to the problem should it be tried.
We need to stop this dividing bulls*** and start acting like united citizens.
We need to work towards getting all these trash politicians and media hucksters removed.
It’s time to quit playing teams and unite under our flag to find our strength.
Sacrifices that yesteryear blacks made for this generation were in vain. Future blacks will curse this generation.
There are plenty of black folks who would disagree with this rhetoric. It’s important to remember this because politicians and the media want us divided. Don’t help them.
hand to mouth primal savagery is what has gotten them into trouble.
And a Pride Flag.
‘...there are six whites for every black.’
you neglect to mention that at least three of those whites stand with the blacks...
Maybe we can play cowboys and ni##ers.
“There are plenty of black folks who would disagree with this rhetoric.”
I agree, but it’s not enough when the leadership in the community are on board with this. The issues are going to get much worse and I don’t know what it will take to resolve. I pray a few strong leaders emerge in the community to slow disaster.
Karens and betas. They vote, but they never fight.
White Vets, hunters, and lifters are almost all Republican.
