DO NOT go to any protest that you cannot prove is organized by BLM or another well-established local organization. Try to wear a mask that looks more “I’m not spreading the rona” than “I’m hiding my face”. Bring fire extinguishers. If you see white people engaging in violence, confront and photograph them. Defend black and immigrant shopkeepers if necessary.
Much is not as it appears.
There was a supposed “protest” lead by a Neo-Nazi in Asheville. I understand wanting to jump at any opportunity to protest right now but please do your research and be careful!
