Speaking of mutual exclusivity, I'm not saying we shouldn't be mad, we have every right to be. The problem I have is with optics, we need to be smarter.
Another example is during the black lives matter protest, community buildings were torched. This was really dumb and made us look really stupid in the eyes of the right.
I totally understand torching the buildings of multi-million dollar franchises, but not locally owned stores and facilities.
And I'm not sure the Defund or BLM movements actually did anything. People noticed for sure, but did anything change?
