Protests During a Pandemic

Description

This Facebook post compares the privilege of protestors who spoke out against the "Stay at Home" order with semi automatic weapons to the unarmed protestors speaking out against prejudice and racism after the murder of George Floyd. The armed protestors were not harmed, and they were able to carry on with their protest without police intervention. However, Black Lives Matter protestors were exposed to tear gas and police brutality while unarmed. This post shines a light on white privilege and racism in the United States.
