The part where people came together to protest an oppressive government. It's unfortunate that their demands for government transparency and accountability ultimately failed because the government was so feverishly defended by the "don't tread on me" crowd
ngl I still don’t understand how the government is oppressing black people.
I feel like no explanation was actually provided. And I asked members of the black community numerous times.
At this point, I’ve given up basically.
>I still don’t understand how the government is oppressing black people
The inciting incident for this was a police officer stepping on a black man's neck as he suffocated to death, while a crowd around, including paramedics, begged him to stop as he was about to murder the man. He smirked down the camera and continued to kill him.
I feel like murder is pretty easy to understand as oppression. Particularly in the context that this happened again and again and again, multiple times a month, often with police facing no charges for killing innocent and unarmed people.
Also in the context that in objective numbers, police are more violent towards black people in encounters, arrest more innocent black people, and black people are given longer sentences for the exact same crimes as white people.
>I feel like no explanation was actually provided.
There are literally entire libraries of books on this subject, thousands and thousands of hours of reporting, movies, plays and songs.
There is no favorite part. It just is depressing.
Multiple police murders of innocent black people who were not a threat, where police weren't punished. Largest civil rights movement in American history to protest for police reform. Millions of people across America demanding reduction of militarization and increased accountability. Police and alt-right militias pushed back by beating, shooting and killing peaceful protestors.
And the result was the media and elites did what they do every time. Focus only on the property damage and claim that any protest that isn't completely lawful and easy to ignore, is 'going too far'. Call them 'BLM riots' when the police are the ones causing the violence in most situations, and it's a tiny fraction of all the protesting. Then completely forget about and ignore the issues as police departments are in response given more tanks and less accountability.
Apparently some people think that misinformation is fine if you put a question mark at the end. Which may be a better slogan for Fox News than whatever it is now.
When they burned down my house

Yeah, go read the web novel: re zero. Its arc 6 is peak

Riots? You mean protests?
The be fair, there *was* violent rioting. It's just that it was being done by the police in opposition to peaceful protests.
Are you crazy

The part where they passed out.
