Every day it seems im seeing all these protests which is fine its a right to protest and i think its a fair cause but if you protest every day like it seems some people are doing then are you not neglecting your obligations? I go to college, and i work 30 hours a week if i protested like that id be flunking college while getting fired.
Where is school out? why are they not doing homework?

Many of them do. That's why protests are often evenings and weekends.
That said, unemployment among Blacks in Baltimore is REALLY HIGH. Their not having jobs doesn't mean they don't WANT jobs, but that there ARE NO jobs for them.
Yes, many of the people have kids, or used to have kids, until their kids were murdered by Baltimore cops. That's one of the reasons they're protesting. That and the general problems of high unemployment and poverty.
How do you know that every protestor has protested every day, rather than only on some days, or once or twice?
Neglecting their obligations? Isn't trying to prevent murder an obligation?
Protested like WHAT? A couple of hours?
BTW, not everyone who had obligations has 50 hours worth. One of the big causes of poverty is people's jobs employ them for too few hours per week.
Instead of just assuming that they're all in the wrong, why not learn something about what is actually going on?

If these people want to take time away from their jobs and schooling to CHANGE their racist society for the better? More power to them. So the kids miss another day of brainwashing in poorly funded sub-par American school systems, they'd be better off paying a tutor for homeschooling and dropping public schooling altogether.
Also, let’s not forget how Whites used to respond to peaceful protest.

School has been out. An hour was needed. How big of you to share. Thats your life. They arent you and youre no better if they are worst by speaking ill of people in trouble. Thats why you will never really succeed at anything. Sorry to have to tell you I just thought you should know.

If they truly believed in that mantra, as opposed to using it as an attempt to shame others, they'd focus on the alarming number of blacks who kill other blacks.

I'm sure there were blacks working at that CVS store, I guess their lives, and the lives of their families didn't matter, huh?
