In reply to the discussion: For White America, Black Protesters Never Do it Right [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)15. LOL...
Many white Americans stood and stand shoulder to shoulder with the protestors in Missouri and at other universities across the US.
Were those "Many", more or fewer than those taking to the internet condemning the protests?
In some cases, those white allies were actually told they were not welcome at some of the actions.
Have you considered WHY these "some cases" were told they were not welcome? That is, if they were ... I have not seen such reports. But, if this, in fact, happened ... I would wager the disinvited "some cases" were not standing with the protesters; but rather, trying to lead the charge ... as so many white liberals attempt to do, mistaking that for being an ally, when actually it makes it all about themselves.
In Baltimore, in Ferguson, and at similar protests around the country, white Americans were actively involved and supportive.
Again, Were those "Many", more or fewer than those taking to the internet, including here on DU, condemning the protests?

"more or fewer than those taking to the internet" What a silly comparison.

Racialist. I bet we blacks are MUCH MORE WEARY OF RACISM than you are of hearing about it.

Of course, just as straight America always, always finds fault with LGBT protesters.
