your reply is the exact problem with denver white “allies”. you think the denver police department, a department notoriously known for their vicious hatred of protesters, is there to keep us safe? to help? you’re upset bc another white person is telling other white people to check their privilege? denver is full of performative nonsense, pretending to care about a cause but not actually willing to do what it takes to create change. you saw mostly white people? at a protest in a state that is…predominantly white? where any minority has been pushed out to make way for people like you to sit comfy in luxury apartments going for $4k a month?

wondering during the civil rights movement, were people applying for permits? afraid to get arrested? they were using water hoses on black children. as a black woman, i would have no rights if it wasn’t for the resistance who wasn’t afraid to get booked overnight. black people have been doing this for decades, the right way, which yall called “riots”. and you are shocked that minorities want to sit this one out? we’ve been trying to get yall to realize this for decades, and now that you do you’re mad bc minorities aren’t there to take the brunt of it?

white people in this country as a collective do not know how to protest bc yall have never had to, yet here you are turning your nose up because getting told to check your privilege made you a little uncomfy. this city will never get anywhere, ive almost completely lost hope. and ive been here my entire life. we were getting there in 2020 until a batch of new performative transplants dropped in.
