Portland Dispatch: What Is The Role Of White People In The Uprising?

1. I assure you it's not all whote people. Im just as pissed as u about this

2. Why refer to corporate conservatives as "centrist"? Nothing "center" about them!

3. Darren, these people are volunteering their time and, in many cases, their physical safety. Is that not enough “compensation?” People giving blood isn’t enough “compensation.” They don’t have to get involved. They offer their help because it’s the right thing to do. Not everyone has to fall in line and pay you for your “analysis.” Dumb ass.

4. Only 15% of White Americans supports Reparations for ADOS & that's all I need to know about them. All that protesting they're doing for Blk lives is a farce!!

5. Skunk water I believe it’s called was tested in Israel and as they train our police we use those same oppressive tactics that are used by the IDF against the Palestinians.

6. Watching from Canada, struck by the absence of indigenous voices in this evolving movement, especially given the very disproportionate harms that are also faced by indigenous people and the profound violence of settler colonialism.

7. Some day some citizen will be abused and threatened like this by the unidentified police, and the crowd is going to take over.

8. Can I join u're IT Team plz? We need to fix those video/audio streams 🙂 . WE can do better, ijs 😉

9. Volunteerism is a great direction to go.

10. What are your thoughts on an x-racist taking part in helping the movement?

11. First, I have been writing this a lot lately, in March 1770, Crispus Attucks, a free African American sailor, was shot and killed by British soldiers, along with two others known as the Boston Massacre. Crispus' death sparked the uprisings that led to the American Revolution. White people were the ones to rise up against the oppressors. Should we see George Floyd as the catalyst to spark this revolution? America did not learn from it's history. As it is said, they are doomed to repeat it.

    Second, without white allies, the movement is dead. If we understand America's racist tendencies allows it to see white suffering and call it that. For example, drug addicts were not consider sick until they realized that most of the addicts were white middle class. However, minority addicts were treated like criminals. Therefore, setting up division amongst your own allies is something Trump (a buffoon) would do. So do not divide those that are willing to bat for your cause, educate and provide direction of where you could use assistance.

12. GOOOOOOO PORTLAND !!!!! A GOOD COP IS A DEAD COP.

13. Asking for "white martyrs" is stupid.

14. Hi Charles and everybody! I am an foriegn observer. Where I come from describing, judging and categorizing people by the colour of thei skin is rascism and unacceptable. We judge ideas and this concept was exported to the US civil rights leaders in the 1960's! Australia's aborigines and the broader population are overwhelmingly rejecting BLM overtures in Australia… our left wing poleticians are embarrassed by this American political export. But, good luck with your election in November, the world is watching, and we hope you can rebuild your cities and historic monuments quickly (for which which Australians are supporting financially via American charities).

15. The same role of every other human. To become the resistance and fight for our rights.

16. as someone who did not grow up poor or oppressed, I read/listen to black & indigenous activists, primarily from the front lines, because they have survival tactics I'm probably going to need if the state steals my pension, and also listening to hear what's the best way to give solidarity. I also know rich people want to take everything they can and we're stronger together.

18. Race baiters.
    Since 2009, we’ve slowly eroded ‘race relations’.
    This year, it went into hyper mode.
    This is a shame and a kick in the face of all those who sacrificed in the last 100 years.
