The Baltimore Riots are disgusting and I am absolutely livid about the name calling that is going on. I am incensed about the NAME CALLING people are engaging in when talking about the legitimate rioting CHILDREN of Baltimore. The greatest crime in the Baltimore Riots is not the destruction of private property, but the far more dangerous use of racist code words such as "thug."
You might as well just call these rioters 'the N-Word.' And that is an unspeakable crime which transcends the incineration of a hundred city blocks.
The people who are complaining about the destruction of businesses and homes are really missing the point here. These rioters, these POCs, are expressing their legitimate rage, and the best thing White People can do right now is just SHUT UP and LISTEN. LISTEN to the Black Community. Because LISTENING is the only way we are going to finally have a dialogue which leads to real progress.
But what are white people doing? Instead, they're taking to the airwaves and the internet and saying racist things that would get them locked up in Canada and Europe. This is yet another incidence proving that America NEEDS racial vilification laws, so that we can lock up the REAL criminals in this event: People who use the wrong speech.
