The govt was already destroying 'our' communities with gentrification and disease.
That's why I've always thought of a community as a gathering of people, not a place or building.
So in my mind, the community is showing great determination to get the message across by rioting.
I also think business owners that were struggling due to covid 19 found an easy out and hired people to tear up their stores.
I can't speak on other major cities but this shit wasn't black wall street getting destroyed like y'all imagining. I'm not crying for the Shell gas stations and liquor stores with y'all, I just can't.
I'm legit curious about the number of black owned buildings/businesses have actually been destroyed in Chicago. I'm betting this # is being exaggerated to make people feel guilty for their anger.
now you know i love you like a main side chick and want to do many very nasty things to you.
but just because the govt is doing something doesnt mean we should add on to it.
what i see moving forward is pandering and BS. just to slow the anger.
but now someones grandmom not getting meds. while the cops grandma got her meds and some krimpets. and lil boris just got back from the gamestop with a new game.
their community is untouched and thriving. why should the system change for them? they are not uncomfortable and could care less what part of any city is burning.
they dont care for justice. they care about their comfort. and the system gives them that comfort.
and unless someone local has the money to start building back up the community.....those outsiders with money will get it on the low and this starts all over again.
if anything...this should show people how much we dont have and how much we depend on them to be nice to us.
if its not alot of black owned businesses its a problem.
if people are ok with burning down black owned businesses....its a problem.
i dont think this should even be a topic of discussion and should be like a protected species. outside of any unintentional damage.
i just want my people to go back home to comfort after THEY pay.
cuz what im seeing right now....is people going home to discomfort and THEY still didnt pay.
all this stuff now is just optics and trickery they doing.
people need to learn from the coronavirus.
sneak up on the system. kill them from the inside and mutate as you move along.
blueprint is right there. we are 14% an may not seem strong....but a microscopic virus sent the world running.
you still my boo?
