I thought it was Black People looting and burning down Baltimore? 90% of the people destroying Baltimore is non Black!
Well you know when you probably won’t be able to leave your house for a while, you might need food to live.
Well you know when cops keep killing blacks with no explanations & no indictments & throw bricks at you while you’re protesting peacefully, which is our first amendment right, you might need to rebel 🙂
I didn’t realize how essential beer and doritos are. Hm.
funny how that water is going untouched
THEY SAID THESE WHITES WERE LOOTING TO SURVIVE
AS THEY CARRY CASES OF BEER OUT OMFG
dudebros need beer, it’s a physical requirement, like trilbies and laptops.
It could very well be that the corporate media is lying about who is doing what to whom in Baltimore. Just like they did about NOLA.
Brandon Darby, an ex-anarchist, now an FBI informant who works for the conservative news source Breitbart, arrived in Baltimore not too long ago. If you see this man, DO NOT give him any personal information or respond to any of his questions. If he tries to film you, cover your face as much as possible and try to avoid him. If you spot him, yell it out so everyone else protesting knows.
SIS BROUGHT OUT THE SAGE, THO.
I wish I knew who to credit because this is one of the most important images I’ve ever seen. #Baltimore #CleanseThem
A woman burns sage on the streets of Baltimore –
Shameeka Dream walks along a line of Maryland State Troopers stationed on North Avenue while burning sage in the wake of protests for the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Maryland on April 28, 2015.19 (X)
like how the news coverage of the protests are ‘people protesting the death of freddie gray’ and not ‘people demanding justice for freddie gray’
black people “DIE”
white people are “KILLED”
rich white people are “MURDERED”
what happened in egypt, india, china = uprisings
what happened in baltimore, new york, watts, ferguson = riots
they don’t even speak about is using the same LANGUAGE, and then they can’t understand why the fuck we speak to eachother in our own dialects and vernacular and exclude them from using it.
This isn’t a basic “revolution” happening in Baltimore. This uprising is entirely due to oppressive conditions (on a social, political, economical and environment scale) against black people, which have prompted black people to resist. Against black people, by black people.
If you’re not black, you need to understand your place in this struggle. It is not for you to offer unsolicited advice. It is not for you to shamelessly gawk at and salivate over to fulfill some disingenuous leftist aesthetic. Is it not for you to become senselessly voyeuristic and speak over the perspectives which matter most. It is not for you to dabble and theorize about. It is not for you to pretend to be impacted on any level other than empathy, solidarity and recognizing how oppressive standards interlock.
There are people detained, beaten, killed and lives ruined, and they will be black. I can’t go over how to gut wrenching it is to see other black people suffer this way and knowing that time and distance is the only difference from it happening to me, my friends, family and community. Our physical and mental health is impacted by this. To see posts and tweets and rallies strip the pain, fear and rage that only black people can feel about antiblack state violence is in itself, an alternate form of violence.
