NBC News tweeted this video of the protester having a meltdown. Her emotions got the best of her and she found herself lashing out at the police she was protesting. Someone at the news network shared it, presumably because they viewed her as a sympathetic figure. I had the opposite reaction watching this video.
“Black Lives Matter. That’s why we’re here … I’m a mom, and I heard George when he called out ‘mama.’ That’s why I’… https://t.co/ZK9kJ0ztKJ— NBC News (@NBC News)1595944980.0
First, I've seen this woman and other like her referred to as an AWFL: Affluent White Female Liberal. I don't know if that's a real thing or if the acronym is intentional, but it's awesome none the less.
Second, instead of being sympathetic that this single mother is sleep deprived because of all this protesting she's doing, I want to know why she isn't more concerned about taking care of her children. Because is she's out every night protesting instead of being a parent, especially at night when her kids most likely need her the most, she's not the one who looks like the shero here. How does that conversation go? "Listen to the babysitter, mama's going out to yell at cops."
Because here's the other thing, none of this is about George Floyd anymore. I was on your side when it was (see ARMED PATRIOTS WANT JUSTICE FOR GEORGE FLOYD, DON'T WANT LOOTING. HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING ABOUT IT... and COPS AND PROTESTERS TEAM UP AGAINST ANTIFA DOUCHE). Protests over what happen to Floyd and speaking out against police brutality, I was an ally for those 48 hours or so. But then the riots and the looting started, as did the violent attacks against police officers, the calls to defund/dismantle them, and eventually using George Floyd was an excuse to promote horrible Marxist ideals. Plus the lack of social distancing has caused a second wave of the coronavirus, but that's a whole other problem.
Not everything is about you, AWFL Karen.
