Thus a protest is a way for knee jerk emotional inspired people to make a scene and let off steam and feel like they've done something about something they don't mean to change. You wanna run around and protest injustice but you are unwilling to boycott a damn thing. You can protest with white people for causes white people care about, and think that is going to get you somewhere equal. When we join with other groups for any cause that does not have helping black people as its number one goal, we are hurting ourselves and walking into another okie doke. Protest demands merely serve as a weak form of request couched in emotionalism, unless they are followed by as many steps it takes using any means necessary until protest is not necessary and not even a thought. You yourself as one person who begins to boycott their ass and asinine mess and asininities more in more, is more effective than you joining in a protest.
Why?
Because you at a protest only makes the voice louder, numbers higher and the flame bigger. But guess what? All bonfires burn out.
But on the other hand, you as a boycotter of products and services and events and holidays and parades and religion and so on, that will put a whole lot of money back in your pocket and give you more time to clear your mind from toxic logic and keep you out of crazy places. This then is like a spark that never dies and is always starting wildfires. If you don't see the power of making the personal choice to boycott, then what the hell are you doing, with your scaredy ass weak ass logic, going out joining in a protest with like-minded people? Protesters (marchers) waste a lot of time, gas, money for food, eating out before and/or after, and buying poster board and sticks and markers. It would be more effective if protest marchers just got together and put all that money in a pot and donated to whoever was harmed that caused someone to think protesting is the answer. Protesting is only effective and beneficial if it is followed up till the end of achieving the goal of the demand, with no let up.
Don't go into a protest without knowing the long-term master plan of how the protest is going to lead to success. Protesting is a request in the form of a false demand to ask those who do you harm, to reform their behavior. This is not possible unless you leave them no choice. This will never happen simply based on protest after protest. Only getting deep into the trenches of the fight for your rights will protest only make sense. Stop the protest nonsense.
I do not want to see another African in another protest anywhere in the world unless it is the first step of non-stop steps that continue to escalate the demand by taking away what the enemy wants, needs and uses against us.This is war. Protest never won no battle, no war and never killed anyone except the protester.
