BLACK LIVES MATTER ✊🏾

i went to 2 protests (everyone was wearing masks). neither were anywhere near this crowded, but probably wasn’t the best. told my parents i wouldn’t be able to see them for a couple weeks, a sacrifice i’m willing to make and that they understand.

How dare you talk about Coronavirus when it’s about Black Lives Matter?!

Covid-19 situation will just get worse. Just wear a mask. BLM ✊🏽

This is not a picture of all who are protesting but rather a picture of all those who are unemployed and have nothing else to do

What happens when the black community gets hit really bad by the increased spread of the virus thanks to the protests? I know folks of all colors are protesting, but wasn't the black community disproportionately affected by Rona even before the protests? Honestly curious, I come in peace. ☮️

I'm missing the point of this thread. Let's not forget that he was killed and not arrested.

I don’t think people’s right to protest and people’s right to work or operate their business are mutually exclusive. Any further advocacy for lockdowns is the most naked hypocrisy imaginable IMO.

No one is denying the issue. But it has brought unlawful issues against good hard working people - why punish them?

I mean, isn’t that what Texas wanted before the protests? Open up!

I’m so sick of seeing these types of comments on the internet.

People are 1) (generally) taking precautions to minimize the spread aka masks 2) willing to risk it because black people are dying in disproportional numbers. They are marching because they are trying to force changes so that POC might be able to live their lives where something like COVID19 being the biggest threat to their life, not police brutality and the cascading effects of systematic racism

Lol the fact that you consider spreading a virus that has killed over 100k people in this country in 3 months an “inconvenience” - yikes. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised we’re at the phase where people are telling others to not leave the house to accommodate those who want to be out and about given how easily Americans are bored

This is amazing #BLM

People, don’t really care what you do in public: just wear a fucking mask . It’s just a piece that covers your mouth and nose. Don’t understand why a lot of ppl (protestors included) refuse to wear a simple piece of cloth on their face. Protests aint cancelled, your bills ain’t gone, and guess what? That Coronavirus ain’t left yet.

Has anyone noticed the uptick ? Second wave is coming. Just wait till the Fall. I said this in March. The study book has been played already in 1918 and 1919 call the Spanish flu also known as the 1918 flu pandemic, was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic caused by the H1N1 influenza A virus. Lasting about 15 months infected 500 million people – death toll may have been anything from 17- 50 million, (possibly as high as 100 mill). Hopefully we are more ready than back then.

It took me 10 yrs to come out gay in the workplace. I was single during this time and then met a guy right before Covid.

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office).

Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.
