 To be fair, though, the protest zone did eventually become something of a disaster.

 In Portland only a few buildings were burned down on a few blocks, maybe more. Those buildings were eyesores. I don’t even know of a single building that sustained any real fire or even smoke damage outside of that.


The protests downtown were on a single city block and there was no big or sustainable damage to some protestors ,on the buildings on that block. Even the graffiti was only on the courthouse, or on the boards covering windows of surrounding businesses (the boards were there due to the businesses shutting down due to buggy, they weren’t there because the windows were smashed or anything). The 7-11 one block over not only didn’t close despite the damage, they started staying open later so that protestors could buy snacks.


The fist couple of days of the protests some people looted some very large chain stores, like Apple and Louis Vuitton, but local/independent stores were never touched. For instance Powell’s City of Books is just a few blocks from the protests, and their ground floor (which is the size of the entire city block. It’s huge!) is floor to ceiling windows. Not a single window was broken at Powell’s or if they were it wasn’t noticeable. They never put boards over their windows and I never saw any graffiti on the building, even though it was closed due to the buggy.


They were fiery protests. The only people rioting and causing crazy amounts of damage at the protests were the cops. Just the amount of tear gas they used alone was enough to mess with the menstruation cycles of women who live downtown, myself included

1) From  here  “ racial/ethnic compositions. In Study 2, we collected data from 170 participants using an online questionnaire to test the implications of essentialist beliefs for policy support.  Consistent with previous research, we found that belief in biological essentialism was negatively related to policy support for participants from both dominant and subordinated categories. In contrast, the relationship between cultural essentialism and policy support varied across identity categories in the hypothesized way: negative for participants from the dominant category  but positive for participants from subordinated categories. Results suggest that cultural essentialism may provide a way of identification that subordinated communities use to mobilize support for social justice” :   2) From  Wikipedia : Strategic essentialism, a major concept in postcolonial theory, was introduced in the 1980s by the Indian literary critic and theorist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.

 From the blog post American Thought    WHITENESS, RACISM AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE Today it is almost impossible to find a person who was engaged in a discussion with the left from the West and who never encountered ideas such as white privilege, White and whiteness. In this particular view the concept of White becomes a separate “sociological category”. It looks like people sometimes forget how racism is, in similar way as class, a problem of the political and economic, i.e. it is a problem of access to societal resources and services, segregation, violence and in the role that certain group plays in a political process. It is always used to exclude certain ethnic groups based on their or their ancestors background. ‘American Thought’’s approach towards race and culture also reveals its poverty of understanding the historical role, limitations and fundamental concepts of classical liberalism; such as individuality as expressed in John Stuart Mill’s essay On Liberty (1859). It is expressin

 Homosexuality The same applies to the sin of lesbianism. There is no doubt among the fuqahaa' that lesbianism is haraam and is a major sin, as stated by al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him). (Al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah, part 24, p. 251). Though typically lesbians are not as seen in a negative light as gay men are. "If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, passionately confront them both. If they repent and amend leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning Most Merciful." (Surat 4:16) Hadeeth (saying of prophet Muhammad) regarding homosexuality: Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: "A man should not look at the private parts of another man, and a woman should not look at the private parts of another woman. A man should not lie with another man without wearing lower garment under one cover; and a woman should not be lie with another woman without wearing lower garment under one cover." (Abu Dawood) Volume 7,
