You know MLK jr? He didn’t use violence and he caused the most change for minorities. We are starting to look more and more like the stereotype and it’s sad. It’s not all about the “white people”, it’s about all of us getting along not one being superior to the other.

They have been some of the most important people in the development of our community. In his time, Alonzo Herndon became one of the richest people in Georgia. He still has companies today. We don’t need to bash everything in sight to gain respect. The results of this are saddening.

      Change does not come through rioting. It shows your ass. Martin Luther King didn't riot and he made actual change. Even when some clown killed him, no one rioted and change was made. Rosa Parks didn't resort to violence. And she made actual change. Look back at every black champion that made change and none of them resorted to violence but they still made change. If you want change vote out the Democrats holding you down.

      @Oressie Simmons what does his past JUST LIKE ARBERY have to do with that moment? In Floyd's case no one said he DIDNT break the law, the argument is why did he get murdered IN CUSTODY. In the Arbery case, unless you have the proof we dont, he broke no law on February 23. No reports of theft, no criminal trespassing
      And to be clear under Georgia's laws
      The Mcmichaels need to prove 4 conditions for citizens arrest
      First hand witness to a crime, and said crime needs to be a felony
      Trespassing in Georgia is a misdemeanor, and the owner, the video, both investigation's found no proof of felony burglary.
      So what he did in 2017, 2019, 2 months prior has no bearing on the events of February 23 and the Mcmichaels defense of citizens arrest. In fact UNDER Georgia's laws, if they were not lawful for that arrest, they committed a felony as they had no right to detain him. Which now leads to the point most conservative whites hate to hear, gives the right of stand your ground to Arbery
      Now before your feelings get in the way, there is this thing Ben Shapiro says- FACT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS
      you can fact check me on Georgia law, on information. And the hammer has NOT been linked to a crime if there even was one
      So try harder, and you don't have to trust some random negro on the UA-cam, you can call various legal entities in Georgia to educate yourself. The big key here is the did the Mcmichaels meet the conditions to warrant a citizen's arrest. That's must be proven first

    She is right but she is caressing with one hand and slapping with the other by not being specific that the looters and rioters are a different group than the protestors. The way she is talking she is lumping the Protestors and the rioters and looters together. People that don't want to care about the reason people are protesting aren't gonna hear her and distinguish between the two groups. That's why she is right but she is wrong.
