I'll own that this is probably more self-serving and rambly and I'm doing my best to be honest about my opinions so I'd appreciate an honest response if you choose to do so.
Imo, if you're interested in being productive right now, the time calls for a self-evaluation of your contribution to anti-racist power and actions.
It's okay to be outraged. I know the implicit belief that facts trump emotions can rule pretty heavily around here, but if you're a human being then you're kind of stuck with the stickiness of emotions and feelings and there's just not a whole hell of a lot you can do to get rid of them (besides repress).
With that said, if you are finding yourself more moved toward anger by destruction of property in the last few days than by what organizers are protesting about - among them: the murder of innocent Americans (this thread was started with Michael Brown's name on its lips), the militarization of local and federal policing, and the carceral logics that guide and shape both - then I'm not sure how you're contributing to anti-racist action. If you agree that there's been enough state-sanctioned and excused police violence, that we've literally reached a limit, then where is that anger? I get that you see the death of George Floyd as tragic, but are you actually motivated enough about it to contribute to fighting what caused it?
I honestly don't want to cite specific posters, or what they've posted, or build a profile to prove that they're more outraged about one thing or the other. I don't think that actually helps persuade people to fight racism. I just ask anyone who reads this to actually take a second to reflect on how they're balancing what they're outraged about, and how they think their balance actually fights systemic racism in this country. I don't think the after-hours destruction of storefronts is an anti-racist action, but when you treat the smashing of storefronts as "the other side" of the protest coin - as the bad agents to the good agents - I think you devalue the fight that people are putting in right now for justice. That's the fight I witnessed on the ground yesterday.
Last night WPXI's coverage of the peaceful protest in East Liberty (which went on for nearly 4-and-a-half hours) received about 20% of the 11pm airtime. The police violence against the protesters received the lion's share, while the rest of the coverage focused on the profile of white kid who started the incineration of a cop car on Saturday and who turned himself in today. Does that make you angry? I hope so.
