Everyone's Asking Their One Black Friend (tm) To Help Them Understand These 4 Things:

1. Is this a good corporate statement?
2. Did that person REALLY die of police brutality...
3. ...Or was it actually mental illness?
4. But if we defund police, what about X?

Answers below:
1. That corp. statement is passive trash, unless:

(A) a huge donation was made, or
(B) a leader is resigning, to be replaced by a BIPOC, or
(C) there's a CONCRETE plan to re-allocate money, access, & influence to BIPOC.

If none: it's no good.

2. Yes, it was police brutality.
3. It can be both: mental illness AND police brutality, and either way, defund the police.

4. Most police calls are about issues the police are ill-equipped to handle.

A shouting soldier with a gun is the wrong choice to help with self-harm, rape, drug ODs, domestic violence.

Why would anyone want the riots to be MORE chaotic?

This is a classic tactic - using "Agents Provocateurs".

These are fake protesters (sometimes they're even actual police officers, acting with or without orders)

who deliberately add chaos & criminality to a situation because
...creating images of chaos, or symbols like burning police property, makes great news footage.

These images are a quick way to make a peaceful protest look violent.

And that means the leaders can justify using greater force.

The property that's being damaged or stolen...
... is all insured, and will all be replaced and repaired.

The real damage is that violent force will be used to subdue protesters who might otherwise have stayed peaceful!

And random people at home will see broken or burning property on TV, and think the force was justified.

Let’s quit using the term “non-white”.
Defining a group of people in relation to some other identity actually serves to marginalize that group, and it positions the other identity (in this case whiteness) as the default, “normal” way a person “should” be.
It’s worth noting that this marginalization happens unevenly, to some identities more than others.

Our culture doesn’t, for instance, call straight men “non-gay non-women”.

But some groups get marginalized in this way often, “non-white” being a common example.

Story Time!
🛏️
Okay so a few weeks ago, my friend gave me a mattress to upgrade the one in my guest room. So I decided to pay the good karma forward...
...and give away my old mattress for free.

But it turns out, it's actually tough to give away a free mattress!

I got lots of interest, but people would have trouble wrangling a large enough vehicle, so they would cancel.

Finally...
...I listed the free mattress in a faceboop group called Bunz.

I quickly got a message from a guy who said he lived nearby.

I asked him, "Do you have a vehicle that will fit a double mattress and box spring?"

He said, "No. But I can carry them."

My university roommate just reminded me that one time, in first year, I signed up to be a guinea pig in a psychology study and it was the best study ever...
The rate was $15 for an hour. I was brought into a small blank room with a computer and a plate of tiny cookies on the table.

I was invited to help myself, so I tried one.
The cookies were great AND they had been microwaved, so they were warm and chewy, just excellent. I had a couple.
