How does looting and violence help?  What's changed since the Rodney King riots?





Because it actually grabs the attention of the people who can make the systematic changes we need to stop police racism.



How did the Rodney King riots change things?

And what happened to the covid shaming for those not social distancing? Are we not doing that anymore?




I didn’t see a single protester at the White House who wasn’t wearing a mask. The secret service not so much.




Oh the mask wearing has been on point for sure.

I especially commend the looters on their covid awareness. All the looting videos I've seen have been perfect examples of how to loot in the midst of a pandemic -- masks on and proper 6 foot social distancing between fellow looters. I mean there are exceptions though like when you need a fellow looter or two to help you carry that 80 inch 4K flatscreen out. You kinda have to break social distancing there understandably.

:racethread:




500 years of systematic oppression, loss of life and property and all you care about is some trinkets and buildings that will be covered by insurance. How does it feel to willfully ignore the suffering of an entire race of people over a few opportunists and people taking advantage of a chance to riot and vent after being cooped inside? What level of moral purity do minorities need to reach for them to gain human rights and justice equal to your privileged self? They can't peacefully protest without being lambasted or assaulted with counter movements and they can't protect themselves from the savagery of the police state what is the appropriate response? Protest out of sight conveniently so you can absolve yourself of the guilt of benefiting from the same hegemony these police protect?





A Chicago native who is known for giving back to the black community got his whole store taken away from him due to looters and he admits he had NO INSURANCE.

A black cop that killed a white woman in Minneapolis is sitting in jail now. Even the way the cops are prosecuted has a racial component.

The police union decides who gets punished and who doesn’t. The Minneapolis police union is run by a white supremacist. They’ll throw the black cops under the bus.




Everything has a racial component if one looks hard enough, but if black cops are being held accountable for their abuses, I'm not going to cry about it. The point is, ALL cops need to held accountable.

If this protest of police accountability has a racial divide, it will be done before it even started. The movement needs support from ALL people, excluding whites and their grievances with law enforcement isn't going to workout for anybody.

You must be young. The LAPD is nothing like it used to be. The change was pretty fucking big.

Criminal charges and civil lawsuits? Civilian review boards and police accountability measures? Body cameras and filming the police? Pressuring politicians? Voting? Peaceful protest? Riots?

What will it take to stop the police from killing? Nothing short of revolution.

But that revolution isn’t a distant utopia, or a single spasm in which we storm the Winter Palace. It’s an ongoing process of building relationships, sharing resources, defending ourselves, undoing the interlocking structures of white supremacy, and organizing to meet our needs together without police or politicians—and it’s already happening. It’s time for each and every one of us to choose a side and take a stand. The stakes are high—the life you save might be your own. But as the courageous protestors in Minneapolis and beyond have shown us, not even the power of the police is absolute. Together, we can overcome their violence and build a new world.

Can someone confirm this for me? I mean theoretically speaking it is possible to be able to denounce police brutality and violent rioting and looting at the same time, correct?

Just checking.

And are we now at a point to where if one is not supportive of what's going on right now as far as the violence and destruction of businesses are concerned -- that he or she is now a white supremacist?





I'd say the majority of people are with you, smashing up small businesses and hurting innocent people is beyond an evil thing to do right now. For me the thing is that there are millions protesting and speaking out peacefully, but somehow everyone is shifting the entire narrative towards the relatively minuscule amount of looters when compared to people protesting and supporting the message that we need police reform. Most people don't spend the day after a world series complaining about the fans who's team lost (or won, for some reason) and flipped cars and smashed storefronts, they talk about the game.




You're right feevers -- no doubt the peaceful protesters have been unfairly lumped in with that much smaller percentage of those who are out there just to cause havoc. Which is not fair for sure.

You don't know shit.  You sit on this community talking down to everybody.  Which is fucking laughable cause you have to be the biggest fucking dip shit to LOSE your modship here. Yet you still hang around which makes you look beyond pathetic.


What have you done besides talk about hating trump, eating shrooms, and wanting to fuck every dude who shows his face here?




Are you going to address what I said about your fake concern or just make ad hominem attacks that have nothing to do with the topic of this thread. If you’re more outraged by a store owner losing his store to criminal activity than a store owner losing his life to out of control police, then you don’t really care about the black community. The black community is telling the world right now what they are concerned about, and it’s the tyranny of the police.

Not that I’m saying they should storm the White House, but the fact that they decided they needed to hide the president in an underground bunker indicates that they were not confident they could stop the crowd if they tried to take over. Maybe it’s time to put those fantasies of overthrowing the tyrannical government into action.




You first. Aren't you a homosexual? Every single black ruled nation on the planet hates you people, you are lucky we are in charge. Keep clutching those pearls though.

I forgot how many low functioning minimum wagers there are on the shroomery. You all better grab that widescreen while you can, because that is all you are getting out of this shit. You guys actually think some revolution is coming? Next week everything goes back to normal. Society still needs people to flip burgers though, remember if your revolt includes not showing up to work you will just replaced by some immigrant.

You had all the same chances in life when you popped out, your bad decisions are why you are where you are, not the big bad capitalist system. Some fucking guy comes here from Somalia and doesn't speak English and does better than you guys, you should be mad, at yourselves. 

I didn't even realize the Floyd was a convicted felon who did home invasions. You need some Urkel or Carlton Banks type of brother for me to care. George Floyd was a dangerous person. He was a violent criminal. I can't even pretend to care when police kill criminals. Yes I care way more about broken windows than I do about Floyd's death. These fuckers are literally kicking small businesses when they are down, and hiding their scumbaggery behind a bullshit moral justification. Its about time to stop with rubber bullets and get serious. I worked to buy my TV, so can everyone else.

Any other groups that were constitutionally worth 3/5 of a person? Allowed to be owned as property. Subject to legally mandated segregation?
