When black people protest

in any form (whether it is a silent sit-in, a peaceful march, a kneel, a riot, etc...) its never the right type of protest or it could have been done in a better way. It’s not right to make suburban white America feel uncomfortable.

Just so long as they protest where certain people can't see, hear, touch, smell, or taste them. As long as they do it out of sensory range, they're fine. Makes it easier to maintain the delusion that all those black people are content with their lot. You know, like the slaves were quite happy with their situation in the antebellum South, because they didn't rise up en masse, so they must have been happy.

I don't want to taste protesters of any race, creed, national origin, disability or gender, and I'm pretty sure if any of them touch me or cause me to taste them without my consent that I'd be on the right side of the law there.

Um, just no.

How often do you taste protesters, and of which flavor?

We can and do speak out against both. The other side brings up black on black crime only to deflect (they don’t give a damn about the subject)

But I guess we should be fine with the police killings because of black on black crime.
