On Facebook, I wrote regarding the George Floyd riots, "I understand why people are angry, but does anyone think that widespread destruction and theft is justified?
To my surprise, most people answered "Yes."
Perhaps I was unclear, so Rejoice and I made this video/podcast to clarify my question.
About privilege
Many white people love to tell other white people to shut because white people can't talk because of white privilege. These white people never seem to see the hypocrisy of their statements.
We all forget that all Americans are EXTREMELY PRIVILEGED. Yes, even colored people.
If you disagree, I'll invite any American to spend a year in Rejoice's village. Oh, wait. It was destroyed by Boko Haram. Fine, in a nearby village.
Most humans would do anything to switch places with ANY American, even one with a lot of melanin is in their skin or a tiny bank account. Most Americans are in the world's top 10%.
Americans have no sense of perspective. We're spoiled brats.
I'm all in favor of progress and I know protests can help get us there.
But violence on innocent people is never justified.
But some people think seem to think it is.
Let's how you feel when Boko Haram burns down your village.
What do you think now?
