BLM VS. MAGA BY KALEI GUYTON, 8TH GRADE CHICAGO
I
feel that the Capitol Riot, aka the MAGA Riot, that happened back in January was very different from how the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests went down. The BLM protests were about the police (who are supposed to protect us, but instead are killing us) and about getting our human rights recognized and our voices heard out in the world. The MAGA Riot in D.C. was about a bunch of racist people protesting for a person who lost an election.
on anything important in life. It was just a bunch of people who felt bad about someone who was not doing a good job in office and wanted him to get a second chance. The BLM marches were very important and hurtful to many people. Last summer, the BLM protesters marched in honor of the death of George Floyd who was killed by police in Minneapolis, MN. Our people were trying to get their hurting voices heard.
In my opinion, the MAGA Riot was an unnecessary protest because it was not based
Hopefully these next few months will be days of peace so that neither group feels the need to have to march in the streets.
