[i]AOC: Marginalized Communities ‘Have No Choice But To Riot’
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview Tuesday that marginalized communities in the U.S. and across the globe “have no choice but to riot” under certain conditions.
“I believe that injustice is a threat to the safety of all people, because once you have a group that is marginalized and marginalized and marginalized, then you create a … like, once someone doesn’t have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot,” the New York socialist said during an interview on “Ebro in the Morning,” a radio show on the New York hip hop station Hot 97.
“And it doesn’t even have to be that way,” she added.
Ocasio-Cortez was discussing Israel and Palestine when she made the remarks, but included poor communities in the U.S. and across the world.
“I’m not even talking about Palestinians,” Ocasio-Cortez said about halfway through her almost hour-long interview, which The Hill flagged. “I’m talking about communities in poverty in the United States. I’m talking about Latin America. I’m talking about like all over the world.”
She noted riots in 1968, which occurred in numerous U.S. cities in the wake of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination.
“Social destabilization is what happens when people do not have a plan or feel like there’s no vision for their future,” said Ocasio-Cortez.[/i]

So if you’re black and/or poor or a white ‘ally’ from the suburbs, which’s where the majority of these ‘activists’ are from, you have the right to commit violence against people and their property en masse in urban communities, which’s where the majority of the violence took place, according to AOC and her ilk in the democratic party.
You have the right to takeover and tear down government buildings and neighborhoods.
What you don’t have is the right to defend your community against rioters, hence defund the police in the midst of riots, because they’re just a tool of white supremacy.
