I wasn't but there were peaceful protest downtown.We had peaceful protest in Greenville South Carolina. The way it should go.We have all heard the inflaming rhetoric of our President, seen the incessant media coverage of real looting and violence. Nobody knows for how long curfews and military/police/civilian conflicts will persist. Nobody should want this, just as nobody should support ongoing police murder and persecution of innocent citizens. But most of the country is absolutely calm. Unlike in the 1960s, today there are fortunately many more African-American local leaders, mayors, cops and even police chiefs.
There is too much unreported news of peaceful protests, and black white unity. In this thread I invite everybody to post the often under-reported stories that stand against racism and “looting and shooting” and “military suppression.” Reports of fake news, reports countering conspiracies aimed at inflaming racism, exposing provocateurs — all these are welcome here.
I start off with a few modest examples.
What exactly were you protesting in Greenville?
