Wow, talk about restrictive! Okay SpokenTruth, you've convinced me! Where are these people who are against protesting through ALL of the following means: looting, wearing a shirt, marching with signs, kneeling during a game, speaking during a play, and during a graduation.

I want to get in touch with these people and ask them myself: what is the right way to protest?

What are you even talking about? I can not tell if you are just purposefully being intellectually dishonest, or if you just do not understand how reactions to political movements or protests usually work. No one would ever say, or identify themselves as, someone who is against all types of protests. Firstly because that would be too specific of an identifier, secondly because even among the biggest fans of America, openly stating that you are against all protests comes off like a negative attitude towards one of the most fundamental parts of American culture. Even with those things acknowledged, you probably could find some random person who openly states they are against all forms of protest.

I'm talking about this image.

When I see this image, I come away with the fact that there is one speaker. This one speaker is seemingly against six forms of protest and this image was posted in the context of SpokenTruth's post. Preceding this image was SpokenTruth's "Every time they protest something, you get throngs of white people yelling back to not protest like that."

I could be wrong but I assume the one speaker from this image is one of those in the "throngs of white people" SpokenTruth is referring to. This one speaker certainly seems ridiculous saying a march with signs is not how a peaceful protest should be carried out. As a result, I was curious and wanted to talk to one of these in the "throngs of white people" because I think dialogue is a great way to air grievances.

In my case, my grievance is that this one speaker opposes a peaceful march with signs but I don't know why they could be against such a thing.
