Protests Are Not Pretty Or Polite, Sam Tracy
Protests Are Not Pretty Or Polite, Sam Tracy
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Protests are only supposed to be peaceful until your football team loses, then violence is free game. Protests are only allowed to be violent and chaotic until people of color have something to protest. Marginalized groups are given far less leeway for protests than their white neighbors.

It’s the invisible elephant in every room across the country.

Do Not Silence People; Debate And Engage Them, Jonathan Petrie
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
During the protests of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, you may have seen Richard Spencer — notable alt-right, white nationalist leader — get punched in the face during an interview. In response, a lot of people shared the video praising the actions of the violent perpetrator, citing Spencer’s racist ideology as a means to justify violence. Here’s the issue. No matter how much you disagree with someone, you do not get to punch them. Violence does not solve this debate.
