[ID: An 8-panel comic featuring Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney. Miles is in a button down pajama shirt and glasses. Phoenix is in a hoodie, sweatpants, and a beanie, and has a stubble. They are in a kitchen. There is a tea plate, a mug, and a carton of milk on the table that Miles is sitting by.

Panel 1 Miles is reading the newspaper and holding a teacup. Phoenix is rifling through a cupboard behind him. Phoenix: Edgeworth Miles: Wright. Breakfast? Phoenix: Mm-hm. Cereal.

Panel 2 A shot from the mug. Behind him is Phoenix’s hand, ripping a packet of Oreos (intentionally misspelled as ‘Oroe’). Miles: We ran out of-

Panel 3 An identical shot to Panel 2. Miles is eyeing Phoenix ripping the packet apart, expression surprised.

Panel 4 An identical shot to Panel 3. Miles is putting down his newspaper against the side of the table, and looking at Phoenix take out an Oreo, disturbed.

Panels 5, 6, and 7 A wide shot of Miles and Phoenix by the table. Miles’s face morphs into disgust as he watches Phoenix crush the cookie, dump the crushed pieces into his mug, and pour milk into the mug.

Panel 8 An identical shot to Panels 5, 6, and 7. Miles is setting down his teacup and watching Phoenix drink from his mug, with disappointment. Miles: You sick bastard.

different decade, same SHIT

[afronerdism]

It’s really not the best idea to share these things without context. Especially when white people sit here and try to use these things as evidence that black people and our movements are harmful. They said the same thing about marches on Selma and the like.

So for context, the “la riots” or more properly termed the La uprising was a result of the absolutely brutal and horrific beating and torture of Rodney King at the hands of LA PD and the subsequent acquittal of all the officers involved. So when you say “different decade, same shit” the “same shit” is the horrific systemic racism that leads to the death and torture of black people and the absolution of white racists and dismissal by white Americans which in turn spurns justified outrage.

It’s also important to note that the brunt of the damage occurred in Korea town because a few days after the brutality showed to Rodney King, a Korean shop owner shot a 14 year old black girl in the head because he falsely accused her of shop lifting. The shop owner was given a criminally light sentence which also sparked outrage.

The reason that there were black shop owners affected by these things is that in tandem with the shooting, gentrification saw Asian and Latino people overtaking black neighborhoods and displacing the local black communities in Los Angeles. So while these attacks were focused on members of the Korean community in Los Angeles, there were black shops that got caught in the crossfire.

It’s also important to know that almost all of the people injured and left dead were black people at the hands of a fiercely and swiftly militarized police force.

The aftermath of the LA uprising saw 2 of the officers brought up on federal charges of civil rights violations and found them guilty while the other 2 were again acquitted.

11,000 people, most of whom were black, were arrested and saw harsher punishment than the officers who beat Rodney king and the shop owner who fatally shot a 15 year old girl.

So the increasing burden of systemic racism, extreme poverty, displacement, and finally the public brutality shown to black people with absolutely no chance at justice reached a boiling point which resulted in the 1992 LA uprising.

So rather than hyper focusing on the unfortunate fact that some black business owners get caught in the cross fire as a way to pretend that you care about the material damages done to black people, how about we focus on the conditions that continue to result in these kinds of tragedies in the first place by addressing institutional white supremacy and its resulting cyclical poverty and oppression.

You cannot use one black man’s outage as a political weapon while ignoring the rest because that truth does not suit your racist agenda

[pbscore]

Op…no offense but the fact that you posted this without ANY of the necessary context people who aren’t educated on this moment in black history don’t already know is very suspect. Even if it wasn’t your intention, you posted this without clarifying any of the actions and injustices that lead to this point, which is only intensifying nonblack people’s ignorance and apathy towards current black issues. 

EDIT: also, in case none of y’all know this, the asshole who commented above (friendly-neighborhood-patriarch) is literally antiblack and misogynistic as hell. Y’all would do well to block his ass and ignore his commentary on any and all posts regarding politics and social issues. 

[siryouarebeingmocked]

“How dare you post this without emphasizing the fact that the rioters were the Real Victims” say people displaying absolutely no sympathy for this ruined business owner. “And how dare you use evidence of black rioters causing harm to innocent people, including the folks they supposedly fight for, as evidence black rioters are harmful. 

Also, I’m going to pretend every single cop in every single incident BLM has ever had a problem with, ever, has been white, and I’m going to use emotive words like ”torture“ while I accuse others of being manipulative and ignoring context while I defend a movement which does precisely that, all the time. 

I’m also going to pretend the suffering of black people doesn’t matter if they weren’t injured or dead, which I’m going to claim was the result of the cops, because I think riots are selective, even though BLM constantly talks about the supposed non-injurous harm to black people. 

I’m going to preach responsibility while deflecting responsibility frantically.“ 

You disgust me. 

Both of you disgust me.

And, ironically, you’re demonstrating some of the reasons people dislike BLM.

[friendly-neighborhood-patriarch]

Ho Lee FUCK these people are heartless

[alaija]

“ It’s really not the best idea to share these things without context. “

They did!

“ A clip from the LA Riots of ‘92. The emotions of a black owner ran high when he discovered that his business was ruined. “

That’s the context!

Some of us aren’t fucking toddlers and already understand what happened. 

What you’re really complaining about is people not being apologists.

“… gentrification saw Asian and Latino people overtaking black neighborhoods….”

I think the word you are looking for is immigration.

“ So rather than hyper focusing on the unfortunate fact that some black business owners get caught in the cross fire as a way to pretend that you care about the material damages done to black people, ….“

Yeah, it’s terrible when they destroy a black man’s shop rather than a Korean’s. You dismiss it as “being caught in the crossfire” when there should not have been any attacks at all.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

I like the weasel wording of “hyper focusing”. As if there’s some reasonable level of focus AN would be fine with.

And the projection of “you’re just pretending you care about material damage to black people”.

[supernerd000]

Even worse, notice ghibli’s wording, specifically a bit that seems to be sliding under some peoples’ notice.

“…you posted this without ANY of the necessary context…”

NECESSARY context

Like no other aspect is legitimate without focusing on the part that props up their narrative, and it is in fact to be lesser to present an event like this without trying to justify it.

It’s not enough to provide the relevant context (which OP did), it has to be what they’ve deemed the correct context.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Which is, again, rather hypocritical from someone supporting BLM, a movement which regularly ignores actual necessary context. Or even the idea that they need to do anything other than assume racism.
