and I also agree that while anger is more than understandable, violent riots likely won't help.
Still, there seems to some kind of privilege talking when in the aftermath of an already restrained AA getting murdered by a racist cop, we can seriously discuss that we have to find ways to address this that keep the feelings of "the hicks" who are afraid of people of color in mind because that definitely shouldn't be the priority of this story.
How about trying to increase not only the turnout of the AA community but of every group that is disgusted by this?
