Will any black role models try to quiet this down?

There’s been plenty with great things to say, but they seem to get muted through media.
It’s incredible that today’s role models are in the entertainment industry. They are millionaires who are completely detached from what is going on right now. Will any star athlete/musician/actor step up and say how embarrassing and destructive this shite is? Kaep and Lebron were supporting this movement. It’s here now...as they sit in the comfort of suburban mansions with security. They seem totally cool that portions of America are crumbling on live TV.

They are busy pooling bail money together for the rioters.
They are helping to fund this

They may lose their career if they do.

This is a situation Obama is uniquely positioned for. We'll see if he rises to the occasion.

Lots of money from the looted goods will trickle down from pawn shop sales and fencing to drug sales and into the pockets of those leaders.
Its a robust economy.
Why cut off the money?

John Lewis posted a good tweet asking for calm and referencing his work in the 60s. I’m sure he’s getting yelled at in the replies but I didn’t read them.
I think you’re being a bit unfair by acting like black people haven’t spoken out against this. Lil Wayne did too. They just get pushed aside in favor of people egging it on.

The Bears have never had anyone take a knee. It's a point of pride as a Bears fan and players speaking out like this give me hope in this a CK-centric zeitgeist.

Bro, Trump is using this shite to campaign, and hasn't done a single thing to try to tone shite down. All he's done is threaten to use military force.
And you think you've got something with Obama calling some dudes thugs? Get out of here with that weak shite.

I guess his speech earlier today didn’t count? Convenient. Take your sky screaming arse back r/politics.

Before going further on this exciting day for all America in space, I want to say a few words about the situation in Minnesota. The death of George Floyd on the streets of Minneapolis was a grave tragedy. It should never have happened. It has filled Americans all over the country with horror, anger, and grief.
Yesterday, I spoke to George's family and expressed the sorrow of our entire nation for their loss. I stand before you as a friend and ally to every American seeking justice and peace. And I stand before you in firm opposition to anyone exploiting this tragedy to loot, rob, attack, and menace. Healing, not hatred; justice, not chaos are the mission at hand.
quote:
In addition, my administration has opened a civil rights investigation, and I have asked the Attorney General and the Justice Department to expedite it.
quote:
The main victims of this horrible, horrible situations are the citizens who live in these once lovely communities. The mobs are devastating the life's work of good people and destroying their dreams. Right now, America needs creation, not destruction; cooperation, not contempt; security, not anarchy. And there will be no anarchy. Civilization must be cherished, defended, and protected. The voices of law-abiding citizens must be heard, and heard very loudly.
quote:
No one is more upset than fellow law enforcement officers by the small handful who fail to abide by their oath to serve and protect.
quote:
From day one of my administration, we have made it a top priority to build up distressed communities and revitalize our crumbling inner cities.
quote:
We will stand with the family of George Floyd with the peaceful protesters and with every law-abiding citizen who wants decency, civility, safety, and security.

Like it matters what he says to these dumbasses anyway. They blamed him for Corona deaths and if he said anything substantial about this they would have picked it apart and blamed him again. I just laugh at the democrats. The Corona was all over their news then this comes along and now can't find hardly anything about Cov19. I am glad these black lives matter fools are destroying their own cities. A man was killed by a policeman yes and he is in custody but anyone condoning this bullshite going on now is just an idiot. My point there are alot of idiots on the democratic side.
