If you don't know enough to understand that hashtag black lives matter is not inherently saying that hashtag black lives matter more than hashtag white lives then you probably would not exactly be swayed to their cause by a name change.

On the other hand the very name reeks of disorganized twitter slacktivism and I really wish the movement had chosen a better name somehow.

To be fair, brunch is super white so they are being racist by protesting that.

Its not a protest when you don't have a permit; its just rude to go into a restaurant and start yelling at people. Its the kinda stunt that Hollismason would pull.

The highly effective civil rights era protests were designed to alienate white middle class moderates from the caustically racist working class and southern whites.

How can you possibly have this little self-awareness. How can you have enough brain function to respirate and yet not realize you are just this generation's version of the shrugging white "moderate" tutting that Black People Bring It On Themselves.

There is literally no form of protest that those in power will not resent and discredit. You are helping them. You are a bad person. And very, very, very stupid.

Also, why isn't pizza covered on SNAP? They cover pizza on free and reduced school lunches all the drat time.

Many gluten-free alternatives, particularly rice and corn, are high GI and thus not any better for diabetics than wheat.

I second SNAP pizza. Making it easier for low-income people to get prepared food in general would be a big help. If the crust and cheese layers are reasonably thin and there are some veggies on top pizza's way better nutritionally than most current choices.

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

Clearly his criticism of tactics with suggestions for improvement mean he is a Secret Racist, helping The Man. All actions taken in the name of the Oppressed are by definition correct and perfect, not warranting any input from any outside perspectives. He surely is implying that they Brought It On Themselves. Any white who doesn't spring forth from the womb with total sense of racial justice is a Racist to be discarded. Education, persuasion and messaging don't exist or matter. Nobody voted for or changed their minds on Civil Rights and pressured their politicians to smash segregation. Surely what really happened was the White Racists In Power said "LO, I AM DEFEATED!" and relented.

By all means, shout at more clouds and yell at more people who likely agree with you. Luckily nobody here will change their minds about the need for police reform and the destruction of systemic racism, and will just point and laugh in your direction instead.
