The organizer of the Chicago Black Lives Matter that justified looting as “reparation” has doubled – this week insisting that even someone to call a criminal is “based on racism.”
Ariel Atkins told WBEZ that her group “100 percent” supports the violent looting that plagued parts of Windy City on Monday, and reiterated her claim that it is “repairs”.
“The whole idea of crime is in any case based on racism,” she told the NPR station.
“Because crime punishes people for things they need to survive or just the way society has affected them with white supremacist BS,” she said.

At least 13 policemen were injured and 100 people arrested in violent clashes, leading to a mostly black community in the loyal South Side to kick off a BLM march the next day.
Atkins attacked Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot – who is black – for calling the looting “targeted crime, criminal behavior. ‘
“It’s like her decision what is criminal and what is not,” Atkins said when she suggested calling the thieves criminals was even a form of racism.

‘I will support the plunderers until the end of the day. If that’s what they need to do to eat, then that’s what you need to do to eat, “she said of those who even tried to throw her way into a Ronald McDonald home that cared for sick children and their families. .
Atkins dismissed the idea that civil rights had ‘ever won’ from ‘peaceful protests’.
“Winning came through uprisings. Winning has come through injustices, ”she said.

“The only people who can undermine our movement are the police, our oppressors, and then us if we do not believe in the people we are fighting with,” she told the station.
“If anyone attacks this city, it’s them,” they told police.
‘And everyone who stands up and says,’ We will not take this anymore, we will do what we want ‘- these are the people they should try to protect, and these are the people they should be resentful, ‘she said.

Atkins had no sympathy for the companies that were damaged in the spree, which included a small convenience store that would likely leave the company after it was looted twice a month.
“The fact that one please cares about these companies about what is happening in this city right now and the pain that people are and the suffering that is taking place does not bother me,” she acknowledged.
