More than a week after prominent civil rights activist Thairie Ritchie set himself on fire near a Black Lives Matter mural outside of Santa Cruz City Hall on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, some friends and fellow activists are pushing back against what they say is an effort to silence the message behind what they believe was an act of protest.
quote:
“This is not just wanting to die. This was a message,” Banjo said in an interview. “A Black Lives Matter organizer who I know was wholly committed to the liberation of Black lives, who lit himself on fire at the Black Lives Matter mural on MLK Day at the beginning of the inauguration of Trump,” he said. “This is all strategic. Thairie is a self-studied activist. He understands what he’s doing.”

"Blacks" are as liberated here in the US as anyone in the world can be.

imagine publicly self immolating on Trump's inauguration and nobody notices. What a heckin LOSER Posted on 2/1/25 at 11:11 am to salty1
The real question is, how many likes did his live steam of the act generate. That’s all that really matters.

So someone lit themselves on fire because a white liberal told them they were oppressed.

Well that's a shame. In his honor I'm thinking white beans and pork chops for lunch.

Does anybody note the conflict in messaging between saying Black Lives Matter, then snuffing his own life out for nothing?
Posted on 2/1/25 at 11:35 am to uggabugga
Seems like a great well thought out protest. Maybe it will become a trend.
Posted on 2/1/25 at 11:36 am to uggabugga
Maybe if more activists set themselves on fire we'd notice. You guys want to test it out?
Posted on 2/1/25 at 11:37 am to uggabugga
“Self studied activist.” He googled
Posted on 2/1/25 at 11:37 am to uggabugga
His message? All I got was he was an idiot and a flaming liberal.
