On Facebook, I wrote regarding the George Floyd riots, "I understand why people are angry, but does anyone think that widespread destruction and theft is justified?To my surprise, most people answered "Yes."Perhaps I was unclear, so Rejoice and I made this video/podcast to clarify my question.It's best to see the video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obwDt5s6WLoHowever, the audio-only version makes sense. About privilegeMany white people love to tell other white people to shut because white people can't talk because of white privilege.

Fine, in a nearby village.Most humans would do anything to switch places with ANY American, even one with a lot of melanin is in their skin or a tiny bank account. Most Americans are in the world's top 10%.Americans have no sense of perspective. We're spoiled brats.I'm all in favor of progress and I know protests can help get us there.But violence on innocent people is never justified.But some people think seem to think it is.Let's how you feel when Boko Haram burns down your village in the name of some higher cause.
