Marathon Organizers Respond To Black Lives Matter Plans

172. They're tired of being told sit down and shut up when it comes to their lives...

They've stated their goals. And people ignore them, because they don't give a fuck about the lives of African Americans.

The only way that they can keep the discussion going for equal treatment under the law is if they keep doing protests that will get them into public view.

They've tried the 'don't protest, sit down, and be quiet' method that so many 'concerned' people are saying they should use, and all it got them were filled body bags - A lot of them containing children. No one cares about them, they were silent and out of mind for so long - Is it any surprise that they've had enough of this treatment?

The quickest - And only way - to end the BLM movement is to make it unnecessary. For our nation to finally admit that yes, black lives DO matter, and to start holding murdering and overly-aggressive police accountable for their crimes. A major inconvience for the nation, and how does it respond? "Sit down, shut up"

Still though, as studies have shown - Admitting to white privilege and admitting that racism exists are very hard for whites. I suppose you could say that asking a white person to admit to these things are extremely inconveniencing. So, how to many white people respond? "Stop protesting, sit down, shut up"

The louder people people shout for BLM to stop protesting that their lives do matter, the more people prove that these protests are necessary.
