156. If this was happening to white people

Fri Nov 21, 2014, 06:02 PM

Nov 2014

it would be a national crisis. Young black folks being killed by cops, white men and yes each other just doesn't seem to matter to many white people until black folks protest and then they feel all bets are off and they can get ready to "defend" themselves.
This is not just about ferguson and brown. Some segment of white folks are itching for battle. Many more just don't care. And there are far too little that do care about black kids dying from violence.
Honestly if I had a business in ferguson I would probably close for the day but I would never arm myself and stand guard to protect it. How would that help? How would "defending" myself help? I would join up with some of the community groups to ask what would help.
The protesters in ferguson seem to understand civil disobedience. They are prepared to be arrested and have been doing workshops on how to deal with out of control police. I hear more threats coming from white folks who have nothing to do with ferguson buying guns, talking about self defense and what they're going to do to black protesters. What I hear from protesters in ferguson is plans for protest.
