That's what I'm thinking, too. I don't think it will get ugly anywhere else, but I think it would be dumb not to expect some rumblings.

Seriously, id be surprised if any predominantly black cities like Memphis or New Orleans haven't made preparations as well.



Yea the underfunded understaffed Memphis PD said they had a plan in place. Pretty much hoping people use common sense and good judgement.


So really they have no plan.

Oh yeah! You're the one that posted this gem.

quote:

The problem is these subhumanized views of black and brown people have been held by white people for hundreds of years. The last "40 years" and the more modern plights of black people doesn't explain why the same biases and attitudes from centuries ago persist to today.

That's something white people need to ask themselves. Why haven't our views on certain groups evolved as quickly as the laws that govern us have?

Respectability politics goes back to the times of slaves. The same banter persisted "do x, y, z and whites will respect you and stop
Being racist towards you." The colored person will do x, y, z, a, b, and c and will still be treated poorly, humiliated, doubted, etc.

At some point, white people are going to have to expect more from their own, emotionally.




Sure. If Whitey is innocent, let's sacrifice him just for the hell of it.

the really funny part is that they're planning to protest whether or not they indict him



Yep. They dont indict him, its a protest. They indict him its a public celebration where they loot and destroy a city.

There is a planned rally/protest in Denver. Hopefully it stays peaceful.

I can't imagine anything getting violent in Denver. Everybody's just chill there.

This gonna be like Watts Riots

Governor already put in state of emergency. Bad move, you execute this in silence, not all over the news.

It's so annoying with these high profile cases. Every move is reported on.

I agree with that for sure. Why announce a nightfall? It might not be a huge difference in the long run but it certainly can't hurt. Odd, but the state and town has fricked up everything about this case.
