NYT: Withdraw From Your Family Unless They Support Black Lives Matter
The New York Times ran a column over the weekend calling on so-called "white allies" to withdraw from their loved ones and relatives if they're not supporting Black Lives Matter organizations through "protest" or "financial contributions."
In a column by Chad Sanders titled, "I Don't Need 'Love' Texts From My White Friends," Sanders claimed he lives "constantly" with "the fear of death" as he could be killed at any time by racist white police and lamented how white liberals keep reaching out to him to show they care.
Sanders wrote:
As a black man, what I actually feel -- constantly -- is the fear of death; the fear that when I go for my morning stroll through Central Park or to 7-Eleven for an AriZona Iced Tea, I won't make it back home. I fear I won't get to celebrate my parents' 40th anniversary; I won't get to add money to my nephew's brokerage account on his third birthday; I won't get to take my partner out dancing in her favorite Bed-Stuy bars.
[...] When you text me and tell me you're "just thinking of me" because this fear is momentarily evident to you after seeing the atrocities depicted on CNN, you create work for me. You invite me to coddle you and respond to you and tell you that it's not your fault and that you are special. That attacks my dignity. That dehumanizes me.
Sanders said white allies should start giving cash payments to black politicians and anti-racism groups, send texts to their "relatives and loved ones telling them you will not be visiting them or answering phone calls until they take significant action in supporting black lives either through protest or financial contributions" and start using themselves as human shields for black protesters.
Sanders wrote that white allies must start offering:
George Floyd Protesters Asked About White Woman Killed by Somali Minneapolis Police Officer
Shocker: They don’t care.
During a protest over the death of George Floyd in Melbourne, protesters were asked about the death of Justine Damond, a white woman killed by a Somali Minneapolis Police Department officer, and not a single one of them cared.
40-year-old Justine Damond, an Australian-American woman, was fatally shot by Mohamed Noor, a Somali-American Minneapolis Police Department officer in July 2017.
Damond had called 911 to report the assault of a woman in an alley behind her house but was shot by Noor as she approached his police car despite being unarmed.
Suffice to say, the incident didn’t spark global protests against police brutality, presumably because the victim was white and the police officer wasn’t.
Avi Yemeni interviewed protesters at a Black Lives Matter march in Melbourne, Australia about whether they knew or cared about the death of Justine Damond.

Asked if Damond’s death was “just as bad” as George Floyd’s death, one black protester commented, “Not it’s not,” and immediately walked away.
Another woman said it was “shit” that people were saying “all lives matter” and when asked if all lives matter responded, “Not right now.”
When asked why there were no protests in Australia over Justine Damond, another woman remarked, “Well, I’d have to say that’s a bit of white supremacy.”
“Why is it white supremacy?” asked Yemini, to which the woman responded, “Well, because she’s white.”
Apparently, being murdered while white by a non-white person is racist.
When asked if he knew how many white Australians had died in police custody, one man told Yemini, “I don’t really care to be honest.”
Another group of protesters immediately left when Yemeni pointed out that more white people in America die at the hands of cops than...
