MOVED!!
[ferguson] OFC no indictment but ON TOP OF THAT I'm just so pissed off at his tone like what the fuck
MOVED!!
did you just spend like 10 minutes bitching about how HOW DARE ANYONE SUSPECT ANYTHING
MOVED!!
FUCK THE MEDIA
MOVED!!
FUCK ALL OF YOU ON SOCIAL MEDIA
MOVED!!
hdu you even think we'd be unfair
MOVED!!
like no well maybe because you were
MOVED!!
and you're part of a coalition dedicated to doing anything you can to keep cops from ever facing consequences for anything
MOVED!!
there will inevitably be more rounds of protests
MOVED!!
good.
Leif
I feel ill
MOVED!!
I kind of. what is... the social okness of a mostly-white person going and showing support in person because I kind of want to
MOVED!!
I'm mad, I'm local, I don't have money
MOVED!!
but I could BE there... but I feel like it isn't my business but it also is my privilege to sit over here where it "isn't my business"
honkytonkgal
man, I wouldn't go down there in person right now. They have the situation mostly under control by bringing in outside police/guard but I don't trust law enforcement to respond appropriately 
MOVED!!
it's the whole country's business but I also worry about feeling like I'm an ass being an idiot fumbling around
MOVED!!
well not right this second HAHA
MOVED!!
but in upcoming days
honkytonkgal
yeah in afew days
honkytonkgal
JUST CHECKING
MOVED!!
again it's my PRIVILEGE to live in a somewhat "better" town a little farther from downtown where it doesn't directly impact me
MOVED!!
but I'm also very close and feel guilty doing nothing
MOVED!!
when it's happening RIGHT THERE and here I am saying I care and all I'm doing is being mad on plurk/tumblr
MOVED!!
but someone would have to go with me and idk that anyone I know here would also want to. do that.

From what I have seen, there have been a considerable amount of supporters from the community that at least appear to be mostly white so I don't think you'd be committing a social faux-pas. a number of the die
ᴀsʜʟᴇʏ ɢʀᴀᴠᴇs
in participants i saw were a mixed bag of backgrounds it seemed
Leif
I think in general it's pretty acceptable to show support as long as you aren't trying to speak over the group you're supporting
ᴀsʜʟᴇʏ ɢʀᴀᴠᴇs
though i would suggest to anyone going to probably have several people with them
ᴀsʜʟᴇʏ ɢʀᴀᴠᴇs
yes
MOVED!!
yeah... :|a I feel like it's a matter of balancing "yes good have balls and show your support" vs "don't make it your issue"
MOVED!!
but I'm very nervous
Leif
like out country has a long history of fucked up racism but also a long history of white people supporting the protests against it
MOVED!!
I WILL. see.
Leif
but do what you feel comfortable with and do it with a group if you do, because regardless of where you're marching or standing or protesting never do it alone
MOVED!!
yeah I'd have to see if the people I know IRL would be at all inclined to go
ᴀsʜʟᴇʏ ɢʀᴀᴠᴇs
remember that it's not tumblr out there. you can show your support and it will be helpful. the more people they have on their side, the better, i would think
MOVED!!
we shall see
we shall see
MOVED!!
in the meantime I will quietly seethe
MOVED!!
and I'm tired and should sleep but I'm also wound up
MOVED!!
hfff
