i would really encourage anyone who is capable to start getting involved with IRL activist work over the next four years. i know that’s not something everyone can do, especially due to concerns of safety or ability, but if it’s something you can do, as someone with a lot of experience w that stuff we literally always need more people and that’s going to be especially true in this coming shitstorm. like hit up ur local anti racist organizations or planned parenthood or shelters or crisis lines. they need people.

Protesters riot: These people need to learn how to protest peacefully! There has to be a better way!
Protesters sit out during playing of national anthem: This is outrageous! There has to be a better way!
Protesters sit in at whites only restaurant: I’m outraged that they could be so inconsiderate of people on their lunch hour! There has to be a better way!
Protesters raise a black-fisted glove on medal podium at Olympics: The games are about unity, stop trying to divide us! There has to be a better way!
Protesters march during rush hour stopping traffic: Gah! Why do they have to do it this way? I’m on my way to work!! There has to be a better way!
Protesters put hands up in solidarity before St. Louis Rams game: Ugh! Inappropriate! Shut up and play the game! There has to be a better way!
Protesters wear t-shirts that read “I can’t breathe,” before a sporting event: This isn’t the platform for that, respect the game. There has to be a better way!
Protesters make passionate speech on BET: That’s reverse racism. All lives matter! There has to be a better way!
Protesters disrupt political rally: Ugh! We’re not here to see you speak!
Look here Folks: “At a certain point, people are going to need to admit to themselves that they’re not upset about how black people are protesting, they are upset that black people are protesting.” – Jim Patnoudes
