And this is the issue I have with the "they shouldn't riot" crowd, because there is legitimately no way for black people to protest that doesn't get condemned or criticized.
Civil disobedience? Well they shouldn't do things that inconvenience the public because it undermines their cause!
Social media campaigns? Well if they were serious, they'd actually get out there and do something!
Kneeling for the anthem at a football game? Disrespectful to the troops!
Not to mention that anytime this does come up there's a whole bunch of gaslighting that occurs (e.g. "well if they would just listen to the police," "not all cops," etc.).
