Basically saying allowing the looting to become the focus of conversation is a racist dog whistle.

Plenty of white people out in the protest. My oldest wrote a letter to the prosecuting attorney and is out there in the protests. I have another one in another state, texting me at 1am how disgusting he is and going to a protest in his city today. Don't sell all white people out. Not one conversation about damage, that ship has sailed with the umpteenth black murdered, on camera. There is every reason for that anger.

Structural change needs to happen. Theyve asked politely. Theyre being killed everyday. Time for talking is over.
