IMO, some of the more racist things in the history of our country, were events like Rosa Parks and forcing black people to sit in the back of buses. Forcing black people to different schools. Forcing black people to drink from different water fountains, entire bathrooms...
This isn't unity. This isn't building up the community. This isn't showing the world how to do it, or what you want. This isn't fixing things.
All this accomplishes is repeating our past.
I support everything about George Floyd, the prosecution of the officers & change within the police AND the community to try and fix things. But that message got lost quite quickly. :rolleyes:

“Whites Go to the Back!” – Seattle Black Lives Matter Force All Whites to Back of the March
Black Lives Matter held a protest march today in Seattle, Washington.
The rally organizers forced all whites to the back of the march.
And the rally organizers pushed whites to the back if they did not go willingly.
What a great organization!
From a reader:
I attended today’s Black Lives Matter march in Seattle, which started downtown before making its way to the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
As an early supporter of BLM I was saddened and disheartened to see that the organizers were requiring all Whites to go to the back of the march, with protest leaders shouting, screaming and shoving, militantly ordering “Whites to the back!” Later, I was told this had been published in advance on their website and any surprise on my part was my own fault. Upon checking, this turned out to be factual.
I truly felt this is inconsistent with the message of diversity, inclusion and equity of BLM and an afront to civil rights pioneers like Rosa Parks.
Sincerely Yours,
Sure enough here is the order from the Black Lives Matter webpage.
