protestors demand whites "give back" gentrified houses (Seattle: neighborhood, living in)

An unruly group of Seattle protesters converged on a residential neighborhood earlier this week, demanding that the white people inside the homes give up their residences to people of color. ...

According to Twitter user Kitty Shackleford, the group — made up of about 50 demonstrators — marched down the streets of the neighborhood chanting, "Black people used to live here!"

One man can be heard telling residents, "Hey guys, do you know that you are living in a historically black neighborhood right now? Do you know that before your white ass came here this was all black people? Do you know that people like you came in here and basically bought all the land from the black people less than what it was worth, kicked them out so you could live here? Do you know that? 'Cause if you don't, now you f***ing do, so do something about it."

The unnamed male demonstrator added, "How do you plan to fix it because you are living on black people's land right now. ... I mean, native land, but black people lived here, too."

A female leader in the group shouted, "Open your wallet!" and proceeded to demand that the residents give up their homes.

"[G]ive up your house!" she insisted. "Give black people back their homes! You're sitting there comfortably — comfortable as f*** as if they didn't help gentrify this neighborhood! I used to live in this neighborhood, and my family was pushed out, and you're sitting up there having a good time with your other white friends.

The male continued, "Let's not act like you just are oblivious to this s*** because you knew about it all along, and you were OK with it. But guess what, we're not, and we're bringing it to your front f***ing door so what the f*** do you plan to do about it?" ...

Videos at the above link. Some observations:


* This article makes no mention of which Seattle neighborhood had this protest. Perhaps because the neighborhood doesn't want to attract more protesters?

* How can you "give back" houses that were never owned by the people making the demand?

* I especially love this insane comment: "you are living on black people's land right now. ... I mean, native land, but black people lived here, too." WTF?

* These protest demands are getting ever more crazy. And they'll get even crazier until authority figures -- politicians, celebrities, pundits, academics -- start calling out these crazies, instead of praising, supporting, and apologizing to them.

* If white protesters did this in a black neighborhood, they'd be arrested as making terrorist threats and engaging in a hate crime.

Wow, this is so unexpected!

The price of enabling terrorists is that they demand more over time.

When will Seattlites, and all the other well educated professional liberals realize their own politics are working against them?

I wonder if this was the group that passed by my house with the drummers. The drummers were fantastic! Haha, it's amazing what delicate flowers right-wing nutters are, when a small group of a few dozen people walking down the street and chanting is considered terrifying and violent. Maybe your frilly panties wouldn't be in such a knot if you didn't spend so much time lathering yourselves up on garbage alt-right propaganda sites?

I saw the video in the NY Post and could not believe what I was witnessing. This is just the beginning of what these people are capable of, absolute tyranny against White people. These are true racists, filled with hate and violence. Look at the Leftist/Marxist whites standing there and supporting this, totally disgusting.

A Biden victory will strip people of their property, no joke. The whole thing is sickening and hard to believe this could be happening in this country. The Democrats actually stand by this type of tyrannical behavior. What has Trump done so bad that this alternative is acceptable??? Wake the F up!!! You have all been lied to. You cannot seriously all be that dense!!!

At this point anyone who does not vote for Trump is the ENEMY

These are the same thugs behind CHAZ/CHOP, with all the shootings and killings. Antifa/BLM have set fires, burned and looted buildings and businesses, assaulted people, and even murdered people.

When you see these "overwhelmingly peaceful" raving lunatics march into your neighborhood, it's anyone guess if a house will be burned, or a person murdered, that day.

What a great way to convince white folks that they should not be prejudiced against/afraid of Blacks.

No clicking of the blaze for me.

Aw, you poor cowering little person.

I live here. Yes, the protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful. No, I'm not terrified if people walk down the streets speaking loudly, even. I do not hold the thousands and thousands of peaceful protesters responsible for the handful of destructive acts, or the shooting in CHOP (which turned out to be a personal grudge between two people who don't live in Seattle), any more than I hold all police officers responsible for the murderous thug cops who are shielded by the police unions.

Um, sure.. if they were simply walking down the street together chanting the ABC song or singing Christmas carols or something of that sort that would be totally fine and enjoyable.

But you are being intentionally dismissive based on your political ideology and I'm going to call you out on it right now: Aggressively shouting at residents/citizens in their own homes demanding that those residents/citizens "open your wallets!" and "give back their land!" is a clear act of intimidation.

This is a step closer to meeting a legal definition of domestic terrorism by the FBI:

"Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).

You would be wrong to normalize this. Stop.
