ShiroKuroLots of pictures full of cooperation and hope there if you scroll down. And also some images that are maybe (maybe not) more surprising, like the Black men who formed a wall to protect a single police office who got separated from the other officers....
OTOH I keep reading about white agitators in protests (like Umbrella Man and the white woman smashing windows while a Black man asked her to stop).
There are so many details that are lost in the shuffle.... I'm trying to take it all in while thinking about what I can do to contribute to positive change, even while (for the foreseeable future) I'm staying home and not out and about....

Piano*DadThe annoying anchor on the Denver NBC station last night kept referring, disparagingly, to the "white" evening crowd as a riot, while the afternoon "black" crowd was a protest. My eyes saw plenty of black folk in the evening crowd. But I will grant that the evening crowd was likely younger than the afternoon protesters, and more tolerant of mixing it up a bit. I clearly saw people in the evening crowd kneeling and holding up signs, just like the "legitimate protesters" of the afternoon.
