You wanna scare the crap out of white America? March peacefully thru rich, white neighborhoods
Disclaimer: I am a white American.
White Americans often sit in their living rooms and watch these protests take place in inner cities, downtowns, and other areas of cities that aren’t predominantly upper middle class, wealthy, or white.
Point being, it’s time to really shake white Americans to their core. Take these protests peacefully thru lily white neighborhoods like The Hampton’s, 5th Avenue in Naples, Fl, or other areas where rich whites watch comfortably knowing they’ll go to sleep safely tonight. The police won’t launch tear gas into the neighborhoods of the wealthy.
That is the only way, in my opinion, to get the point across that Black Lives Matter, police brutality must end, and white people cannot indiscriminately kill African Americans.
This isn’t a call for violence. This isn’t to say all white people are racist or all police are bad. It’s a call to wake up to the fact that my white privilege is that I can go for a jog and no one will think I’m committing a crime. It’s my white privilege that if I go to the store, clerks won’t follow me around or think I’m passing a counterfeit bill. To borrow from a meme, even a lot of white people are sick of the racism of other white people!
