I wish Black folks would stop playing into respectability politics, I mean we all know shorty was innocent but even if he stole water his penalty shouldn't be fucking death.
Black Americans doing a nation wide boycott of Asian-owned businesses in the name of this verdict would be effective. They capitalize off our needs and wants: convenience stores, corner stores, beauty supply, nail salons, etc. They depend on heavily on our dollar. Money speaks.
Asians profit from black communities through corner stores, gas stations, restaurants, and hair and nail shops they own. But many harbor racial bias against Black people. That's a problem.
