Open Thread | Why Are Black People Not Protesting?

I have seen this question all over social media. I see video after video about this topic on TikTok.
Where are the Black folk?
Why aren’t they out there protesting?

Protest what?
No, Seriously, PROTEST WHAT?

We, as a community, TOLD YOU WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU ELECTED TRUMP.

We, as a community, did our part to prevent it from happening.

92% of Black women.
80% of Black men.

We did what we were supposed to do when it counted the most. We did PREVENTION.

Where are we?
We are taking a rest. We are sitting it out.

You cannot shame us.
You cannot gaslight us.
You certainly cannot threaten us.
” Well, if they will do this to us, they’re coming for you next.”
Next?
NEXT?

Pick up a history book.
WE WERE FIRST.

There is nothing that they are doing that already hasn’t been done to the Black community.
Name it. It’s been done to us.
And, yet, we are still here.

Do you understand that this man has given Police COMPLETE IMMUNITY.
COMPLETE IMMUNITY
COMPLETE IMMUNITY

To shoot us in the street without ANY REPERCUSSIONS.

And, we are supposed to risk that…for what?

Black people didn’t cause this. Black people did what we could do to try and prevent this.

There may come a point where circumstances will push us to the point where we will need to get out in the streets and accept the possibility of that COMPLETE IMMUNITY.

But, now, is not that time.

It’s been fascinating, watching the current protests that have been going on….and, yet..none of the riot gear is appearing…..why is that?

WE ARE NOT

Going to put our Black bodies out there on the line for a fight that is not ours. We didn’t cause it.

You best get out there and talk to those family and friends that voted for him. Get those that SAY they ‘ regret’ their votes out in those streets.

There might come a time…and knowing the history of this country..I’m sure it will come..
But, until it comes…
No…we are not going to put our bodies on the front lines for people who didn’t show up for us when it mattered most – November 5th.

We will not be used as cannon fodder, and for the reason THEY are allowed to call for Martial Law.

Nope.
