Racism is also uncomfortable."

All Systems are Designed

As designers, we understand the power of a well-designed and human-centered system to drive health, security, and justice in our communities—and to protect and ensure the rights of all people. We are attuned to identifying unethical systems. Systems that exclude certain individuals or groups, lead to dead ends, anger, and in the most monstrous cases, the consistent loss of life from historically abused and disenfranchised communities.

"Why can't they protest peacefully?"

Racism against black people is SYSTEMIC and as a result protestors cannot be asked to play by the rules of a system that has already failed them. Black people are/have been respectful & peaceful but are treated with violence regardless and that IS the problem. People are fighting for their LIVES and if your response is still "yeah, but" then maybe you should reconsider.
