Oh. Sorry. Didn’t realize risking bodily injury from tear gas, rubber bullets, beanbags, and nightsticks because something fucking matters was cowardly. You bring up such eloquent and well reasoned points. I’ll keep them in mind the next time the police are kettling me or a Nazi throws a brick at one of my friends. I’ll say to myself “you know. We probably deserved this for being so cowardly”
I’m talking about hiding one’s identity. I thought that was evident. Guess it needed explaining.
And what do you think I’m talking about? Cops and fascists want to hurt me for saying it’s not okay for their boys to kill a member of my community. I don’t wanna give them any opportunity to come arrest me for some made up bullshit about how I was doing disorderly conduct in public, and then resisted arrest, and then assaulted an officer. If you’re getting out in public with your face in view and not worried, congrats. You’ve won the racial lottery. Meanwhile the rest of us gotta keep our heads on a swivel because of our facial features, hair texture, and skin color depending on what the cops find to hate in us.
Again, my belief is- don’t do shit if you’re not willing to sign your name on it.
