You won’t be silenced (slightly political)
Y’all ready to get political? Then let’s go. I will engage in political talk for once in my life after staying clear from such. Let’s try to keep debates civil, yeah?
I may not ever understand the shit you guys go through as I’m born white, but know that I don’t stand for it and I never will.
Recently one of the royal family in Norway spoke out in regards to the situation happening over in the US, we want an end to this inhumanity, we want people to be able to coexist, not kill each other, especially over something beyond our and other’s control such as pigments of the flesh we bear. The system is flawed and causing so much damage, it’s ruining the name of police in other countries that don’t do this crap.
You have my support. Let the voices be heard and may you get the justice you rightfully demand and deserve.
I also understand that to those who don’t have the funds to donate to the foundations that are in support of helping this event
(trust me, I don’t at the moment so I’ve looked around for other ways). I have an alternative for you.
https://youtu.be/bCgLa25fDHM This video here not only includes works by black people, all the ad revenue goes to the organizations. Let it play in the background (or watch it all if you want!) and let the ads play all the way. Comments below this video also explains how you can do this multiple times without the website seeing it as spam if you plan to do this more than once.
(Also if im using the wrong logo let me know, I’ve heard there are cases where white people shouldnt use the raised fist as respect to the people it was made by and for. If there are alternatives that are more acceptable, I will change accordingly)
And with that, I bid you all goodnight, stay safe, do your best.

the movement, while honorable, has just gone WAY too far.
I am ok with the protests, I'm ok with sending a message peacefully, but if the movement starts getting excessively violent, I won't support it.
BLM, again while honorable, I've just lost my support for it, and I just want to wait until they stop the senseless violence, when that stops I'll start supporting it again.

Not really, it's too chaotic to start condemning rioters. The looters on the other hand, probably should be considering that it's probably them that are giving the rioters a bad rep.
All in all, i just don't want to hear about condemning rioters until the dust settles.

Everyone wants equality. Thing is, effort is literally an attempt to create inequality. The saying in the Soviet Union was "they pretend to pay us, we pretend to work."
It's a real shame the black community lost Martin Luther King Jr... He understood that equality of outcome is not the same thing as equality of opportunity. In many places around the world, the black community has long won equality of opportunity. Now they seek equality of outcome. Which, was disastrous for the Soviet Union.
It resulted in tens of millions starving to death and millions more dead in gulags.
You see, people who refuse to talk about a problem have failed in one or two ways. A. They have failed to properly negotiate their position and/or B. Their position is irrational. The former can often be resolved through arbitration while the latter typically results in endless bloodshed.
With the loss of MLK jr., the former could no longer be achieved; the cause had lost its greatest leader. Misguided and angry, the cause then meandered toward the latter.
A good example of that latter can be found in modern-day Islam. You see, a majority of Muslims live peacefully. But a vocal minority never stops escalating the bloodshed.
Islam is often called a "religion of peace." Yet their holy book literally says 3:151 "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve." This position is irrational; no peace can ever truly settle alongside Islam.
BLM is walking the path of Islam. But it's not just BLM.
From capitalists to traditionalists, LGBTQ to white nationalists; everyone has begun refusing to accept that reality cannot be changed by mere ideas. An ideology must be workable to achieve positive results; you cannot build a dam with wet paper and expect it to stand merely with the power of belief.
I am not saying you shouldn't support BLM. I am not saying you should do anything, really. I'm merely saying that what extremist groups want - not just BLM, but all of them - is not achievable.
The only way to truly erase ideas is by erasing the people who support those ideas. I, personally, do not support ethnic cleansing. Or, for the less politically correct terms... Indoctrination and mass murder. Sorry, I just do not support it.

No, see I understand that. I’ve been looking further and further into this and people amongst these groups also agree that it’s going too far, the riots are harming innocent people and businesses that have no part in what they’re fighting against. They’re attacking the wrong folks at that. Some will even just join the riots for the thrill I’ve seen which is HORRID.
I can’t speak for these folks of course, but from what I have heard there are mentions of ‘starting small’ as in, ask for ONE thing, too much and they won’t be heard out, if not worse. If I can find the post where a person speaks about this I’ll link it in a reply to this comment, I’m not sure I have it on hand.
I’ve heard of that, Islam considered a ‘peaceful’ religion even though there are parts that state the opposite which..yeah I don’t agree with that but I just don’t agree with anything that will utilize fear to gain control. And having lost people from my home to some of these violent parts of it, one can’t blame a person for becoming skeptical. But it also ends up with making people confuse the terrorists of the religion for the actual peaceful Sikhs(I hope I’m saying that right).
I support doing something to FIX America’s flawed system, as that’s much morelikely the main cause of all of this. The way they control their police and government isn’t doing many people any favors, but right now as things are, it’s not gonna happen fast NOR easy. It may even continue to be rejected decades upon decades
People are furious, hurting and until something is done, this isn’t going to stop and I fear for my friends in the US, I worry if they’ll get caught in the crossfire or even die to either the authority, infiltrator or even someone who’s just there to protest.

I support doing something to fix America, too. But one must remember that a certain party rose to power specifically by promising they'd fix the country. Meanwhile everyone ignored their ... Less palatable actions.
That was the National Socialist German Worker's Party. The title of a group does not always represent what the leadership believes. They were not socialist; their other name is the Nazi party.
I disbelieve BLM's leadership cares about blacks. Which is why I focused on them specifically and related their actions to Islamic terror.
LGBTQ is a much larger faction with many groups - some are harmful, but most are doing great work. Marriage reform was an amazing achievement for the gay community.
Nothing so substantial has come out of BLM. All I see is nasty rhetoric and violence from the leadership. Blacks killing cops in retaliation for perceived bias is not helping. Especially considering blacks already commit >400% more murders per capita compared to whites and >1000% more murders per capita compared to hispanics and latinos.* It has unsurprisingly led to relatively more blacks being killed by police.**
Surely, there are some good people in BLM, but there were good Nazis too. BLM leadership behavior makes me question who they really are and what they really stand for.

I don't think we need to worry about the Sikhs being confused for muslims. I think any persecution of the Sikhs is an Indian cultural thing. Ofc the muslims oppress everyone so being a non-muslim in a muslim dominated country is harrowing no matter your religion.
Unfortunately Islam in the Quran - and most vilely in Sharia Law - is about treating other muslims well but taking captive, enslaving, raping, etc. non-muslims and blasphemers.
The parts about peace are reserved for their fellow islamic people. Contrast with most other holy books, including the Bible, which mostly say to respect and treat others well. Except for one passage in the old testament which proffers slavery... but, that pales in comparison to the Quran's hundreds of calls for war, pillaging, murder, rape, and then there's Sharia Law... Good lord I think I will be banned if I discuss what's in those laws. Let's just say it's not civil. Don't google it if you have a weak stomach.
