Your face is a cop out! Go away, you silly wombat.

Yes, I have plenty of mature and rational responses, but after peeking at your profile, it isnt worth it.

Available-Rip7596@reddit

I saw an older white woman respond to this sort of rhetoric and I liked what she said, which was essentially:

"It's not safe for brown people to be out here right now, so white people need to stand up and march in their name right now."

Why bring small children to stuff like this? I really just don't get it. Take them to a park or a cool museum or something instead.

Where were these protests when biden locked down the country, forced people to take an experimental vaccine or they would lose their jobs and the vaccine didn’t work and actually caused more injuries and deaths and forced people to stay away from their loved ones and going to church?

[-]

waffles-butters@reddit

this has to be the most pointless protest ever

ClassroomMother8062@reddit

They can pot shot all they want but the reality is a lot of people of color can't go to rallies and marches for fear of being profiled.

And you know I’m not from those communities how? Real quick to silence people. Real quick to shut down people’s freedom of speech and throw comments based on skin color 🤔 sounds kind of Nazi like, kind of racist.

[-]

TilTheDaybreak@reddit

Don’t give in to bad faith arguments. People who enjoy the flavor of boot soles will criticize without a care for reality.

Reality is that millions of people made their voices heard. Reality is massive voter swings away from republicans across states across the country in numerous special and off year elections. Reality is that trumps approval rating is as low as ever.

[-]

AD_Cinema@reddit (OP)

Well I documented these things specifically because I knew the media wasn't portraying the protests accurately. There may be plenty of people on the fence who see these and realize why minorities might be afraid to show up, realize the media is misleading them about the magnitude of these marches, and realize that they, too, want to make their voice heard. The reality is that there ARE AI images and videos out there and I don't think it's bad to question whether or not a video or image is real. But this is real and if I need to prove it then that's what I'll do.

Direct-Technician265@reddit

what point do you think you are making?

[-]

Apprehensive-Taco406@reddit

That these protests are a bunch of old white people who complain about whatever is the current hot topic on MSNBC. They move onto the next thing pretty quick.

[-]

Direct-Technician265@reddit

lmao, nah the largest protest in american history isnt moving on quick, the lowest approval rating of any president in US history beating Nixon right before he was impeached, isnt going away.

the GOP is in for the worst midterms in a long time, but hey who can be surprised when the no new war pedo gives us a new great depression brought on by $200 a barrel oil.

this wont be the largest protest in US history by November.

[-]

Cool-Mom-Lover@reddit

How wrong you are

tenebre@reddit

There's literally a video here that contradicts what you just said. The fact you can't be bothered to watch FIVE SECONDS of video before you comment on that video tells us everything we need to know about you.

13508615@reddit

Do you think you won a prize or something? How does this work exactly?

[-]

ReefLedger@reddit

Good work. Fuck the media. I remember during Occupy Dallas, WFAA interviewed me for about 3 minutes. They then chopped up what I said into about 10-15 seconds to make it seem like I had no clue what I was talking about and aired that shit (conveniently leaving out my gripe about Citizens United. I also work for a bank and did not get a raise that year because of that shit).

[-]

AD_Cinema@reddit (OP)

God that really sucks. I provided some footage to WFAA about the guy who was arrested, and the journalist said something about not wanting to "give them publicity" in terms of them being affiliated with hate groups. I also found out that guy is the precinct chair in Little Elm and sent that to him. Crickets. I understand that larger news organizations have different standards they're held to for fear of legal consequences, and I get the argument about not wanting to give publicity to hate groups but that DOES NOT WORK it just allows them to grow unnoticed.

[-]

ReefLedger@reddit

Keep up the good work m8.

[-]

TilTheDaybreak@reddit

Yep I’m glad you posted.

My phrasing was towards you but intended more generally. All the bad faith critiques and fatalism are intentionally trying to suppress us. Keep up the good fight!

[-]

AD_Cinema@reddit (OP)

Thank you! It's been really discouraging getting all this criticism from both sides. Most of the people who are supportive give likes/up votes but it's hard when you have so many negative comments to read. I still feel like they're important to read because I'm trying to learn how to do my job the best I can and I have to read those negative comments to pick out some of the actual legitimate criticism. Unfortunately on the internet you do kinda have to advertise yourself and build an audience of you want anyone to see your stuff and meta platforms are suppressing everything No Kings related so I don't have many options for posting this stuff. Despite being educated in social media strategy I suck at building my own socials because I'm actually not self absorbed and usually don't feel the need to share my work.

[-]

Successful-Ostrich23@reddit

[-]

AD_Cinema@reddit (OP)

Elections are a big part of it and that's why activists try to encourage people to vote for what they believe in. But if you hired someone and they broke an expensive machine and cost your company millions of dollars, would you wait til their performance review or would you fire them right away?

[-]

TilTheDaybreak@reddit

So democracy only happens one day every two years? Is that what you're saying?

[-]

Breauxmetheus@reddit

Reality is the thing that entire party is allergic to. They fear it more than anything else. Acknowledging reality for what it is means they would have to admit to being wrong. That is something their thin-skinned little egos just cannot abide. It’s either that, or they truly are so abysmally stupid that they were never capable of getting a decent grasp on it in the first place.

honestly people of color should stay home. if anyone is getting arrested, it's likely them.

this is a time when white people need to come out and show support, because their privilege will protect them where it will not protect people of color.

[-]

OkDifficulty7436@reddit

honestly people of color should stay home

r/ShitRedditSays lmao god damn dude, white people just be saying anything

[-]

slothypisceswitch@reddit

But they're right. Black people and POCs would be the immediate targets. What's worse is that they wouldn't even have to be a part of the protest, just in proximity, and their saftey would be threatened.

This is why I volunteered to walk with students who decided to participate in the walk out a few weeks ago.

[-]

No-Plankton-5741@reddit

Sure master. Keep the blacks on the plantation while you tell them what's best for them. Sad thing is liberals have 0 clue that they are the racist ones.

[-]

JustSpectating68@reddit

Awe yes in a crowd of people a cop would target the single person with melanin in the crowd. Can y’all stop roleplaying like it’s the 1950’s?

[-]

slothypisceswitch@reddit

I'm assuming that first sentence is sarcasm. We don't have to role play like it's 1950 because racism never stopped, it's still happening. People kept it tucked in for a while but now they have that shit on full display.

[-]

OkDifficulty7436@reddit

But they're right.

No the fuck they're not? Get off the computer and touch grass unironically

[-]

_TakeMyUpvote_@reddit

ERHM i didn't say THEY COULDN'T. i said THEY'D BE THE FIRST ARRESTED.

fuck me for spouting off with my opinion, amirite?

we might just all end up tearing each other apart.

[-]

slothypisceswitch@reddit

Dont worry about them. They deleted their words like a true bully.

Some people just want to argue and be mad out loud

[-]

OkDifficulty7436@reddit

Your opinion is dogshit, it's un-American, and violently racist.

Never, EVER, tell people when and where they can protest.

Check yourself too.

Fucking White people on here say the WILDEST shit.

[-]

slothypisceswitch@reddit

Hey, maybe you should take a few breathsand back away from the keyboard. Unironically, I typed that while sitting out in my backyard. My whole point is...why are we even being discussed? Like we havent been marching for centuries.

No one is fear mongering, this shit happens. It's happened to me. No one is preventing people from exercising their right. Let's be clear, protests aren't the only way to exercise their rights.

I dont know what you have against clowns. Did you know clowns have been used for political resistance?

[-]

OkDifficulty7436@reddit

Telling people to stay home and not exercise their 1st amendment is always going to be met with absolute hostility.

Never, EVER tell people when and where they can protest, it's the most un-American thing you can do.

Check yourself.

[-]

slothypisceswitch@reddit

SYBAU You dont know me. How about you check yourself.

" do not reply to me again..." Hahaaaa!!!

[-]

slothypisceswitch@reddit

Its amazing how someone can show their whole ass on here with such bravado, but doesnt have the guts to leave their words up...

[-]

AD_Cinema@reddit (OP)

I definitely don't agree with "white savior" stuff and white people deciding what is and isn't racist, however I completely agree with this. I've met enough people of color who are even more worried for their safety than usual right now. The government is explicitly profiling people and a No Kings protest is like a feeding frenzy.

[-]

_TakeMyUpvote_@reddit

reporter tried to GOTCHA that white lady by challenging her on the diversity of the protest and she wasn't having it. and i've watched enough cops pick out people of color to believe that they should not be on the front lines. did i choose poor words? i guess?

never said people of color have no right to protest, nor do i think they shouldn't, i just know that cops are way more likely to arrest them than they are white people.

but fuck me for having an opinion, right?!

[-]

Making money, contributing to the economy, not roleplaying and acting as a white savior. Yeah I’d say that’s a big difference compared to y’alls 0 difference

[-]

JustSpectating68@reddit

Scared of what? Retired white sissies? Scared of people who get hurt from the usage of the wrong pronoun? Explain how would be “scared”.

Totally scared of the jobless eternally online roleplayers and the protestors who are paid by George Soros

Scared were going to take your kid fucking idols away from you. Id rather be just about anything than someone that supports a person that fucks kids, but hey, you do you man.

You'll see a big difference in the midterms I bet. Just because there's not an immediate effect, protests change minds and sway votes for sure

wannabetmore@reddit

Because you are so self- absorbed you want clicks. No reasonable person in the Dallas sub is doubting. I was there and others in the past. It's always been diverse.

So go ahead and pay 50 more for clicks for your ego.

[-]

AD_Cinema@reddit (OP)

Pay? This is reddit I don't get anything out of this. You may have been there in the past but many people weren't. I have 3 hours of footage and I figured the people where the event happened would be most interested in it. I guess I'll just sit on it and do nothing?

If I wanted clicks I'd be making you click through to my social media. Not posting videos directly to reddit without any watermark or any way to get credit.

I post these so that people know there's proof of what happened and if they want to share it they can. It doesn't even show my username when people share things off of reddit as far as I know.

I'm not sure what you're so angry about. If you don't want to see these videos downvote and move on and I'll know people aren't interested.

[-]

RobGabGusMoma@reddit

I hope you'll post more videos!!! I was unable to attend and I want to see it all. So far it's exactly how I expected it to be, peaceful and honestly filled with love for all!!! If you have footage of the counter-protesters who delayed the start of the march, please post it. I've tried to find accurate and detailed reporting, but no luck...
Thanks for filming and sharing!!! If there's another platform to view the rest of it, please send me a link.

[-]

Direct-Technician265@reddit

its a bad faith argument, the people who disagree with the protest are not worried about its diversity, no one is.

its like saying i dont think you had enought pedo's for your GOP rally.

[-]

AD_Cinema@reddit (OP)

I know people discourage me from responding to bad faith arguments, but it's kinda hard to have any debate in the comments if all the arguments are in bad faith. And unfortunately, there are too many places on the internet where it's all just one side cheering for their team. I don't think that's good. I don't think that people who do come with an open mind want to comment because they're afraid they'll get attacked. So I can do my best to be polite (I know I fail sometimes, I can't be my best self 100% of the time) and respond so that we get something like what we got here, where people engaged in debate and shared resources I didn't have so that anyone who may be watching from the sidelines making up their mind can see which side they agree with more. And if you think one side is dumb, then it gives them an opportunity to prove how dumb they are.

[-]

Direct-Technician265@reddit

its not your fault that they are asking bad questions, but they do this on purpose. its a vice signaling thing.

Do you think though that their rallies are very white? of course not, so what is it they are saying?

they are saying they are more scared of the minorities, and the (what they think of as soft white people, the blue hair weak people.) people that are in this protest, are nothing to be worried about. its racism and white supremacy.

coming back to that statement with a no look there were some brown people, is you falling for their little joke. concern trolling.

it was the largest protest in american history, its just the demographics of America that showed up.

[-]

RobGabGusMoma@reddit

She didn't post that to show proof of "brown people" ffs, READ the sign they're carrying that explains why!!! Then check out the link that has a protester EXPLAINING it to a right wing influencer that did NOT get the response he was after!!!
