#259 Here’s How NOT To Talk About The Protests

On today’s episode of the Sup podcast, Sami, Amanda, and Bryan reflect on a painful weekend in America, and take some time to consider our role as allies and how we can use this platform. Amanda shares her experiences in an NYC protest, how it differed from the violence played across our screens, and how tensions actually escalate on the ground. They also react to people admonishing the “rioters” and “looters” and explain why we need to make space for anger…. just like we have for any social movement that involves white people. Finally, the give an update on the charges against the officers involved in George Floyd’s death and the status of justice for Breonna Taylor.
