I get the impression that a majority of people stand against racism when it's clearly identified. If you say racism exists somewhere out there in the ether and we need to fix it is when you lose some of your audience.

Show me racism and I'll stand next to you to defeat it.

When I hear profanity laced speeches being shouted through a bullhorn by a protester demanding reparations for slavery, defunding police and saying it's all because of racist cops, I see the accusation of racism being used as a weapon, a threat or an excuse to loot and act like a thug.

I support peaceful protest for continued changes in the way the police interact with the black population and being held accountable for bad cops.

I don't support opportunistic individuals looking for a quick money grab or power. An opportunity to call random strangers racist and push their political views if you disagree.
