Remind me again what the purpose of this protest is again? Supposedly this was all about Police brutality and George Floyd… But then that message became take down all Confederate statues, and then tear down all statues of people that lived in an era where slavery was still a thing. Except that quickly has changed to BLM wants reparations and damaging cities is part of it. So I guess damaging cities and defunding the police was not good enough, now Seattle’s BLM wants white people to give their homes to them.
“Last night a group of anti-gentrification protesters in Seattle marched through a section of town for a couple of hours to complain that white people were living on stolen land. Well, not stolen exactly. They aren’t claiming the black people who used to live in this neighborhood were pushed out at gunpoint. But they are claiming that an injustice has taken place because white people are now living in new homes in this formerly black neighborhood.
The crowd of maybe 50 people was marching down the street after dark chanting “Black people used to live here!” At one point the woman holding the bullhorn and leading the chants noticed a group of white residents having a party on the roof of a multi-story apartment building. “We’re talking to you gentrifiers,” she said. The crowd stopped next to the building and continued chanting at the people on the roof.”
“An “unnamed male demonstrator added, “How do you plan to fix it because you are living on black people’s land right now. … I mean, native land, but black people lived here, too.”
A female leader in the group shouted, “Open your wallet!” and proceeded to demand that the residents give up their homes.
“[G]ive up your house!” she insisted. “Give black people back their homes! You’re sitting there comfortably — comfortable as f*** as if they didn’t help gentrify this neighborhood!”

So they are protesting against the people who legally bought the homes after they lost them due to being unable to afford rent or mortgage. How is that the current resident’s fault? These protests are just getting to be ridiculous, and when they are not foolish like this one, many are turning into riots. How much longer are we going to be plagued by these misguided protesters?
