What are your thoughts about non-violent versus violent protests and actions? Do you think this is necessary, unnecessary, or a combination of both?

Social Protest

What is ‘systemic or institutional racism’? How did you feel about the social protests that began last year [i.e, were/are you supportive of the protests, did you or someone you know participate, do you think they should or should not continue] and do you think they have adequately highlighted police brutality against people of color and [more broadly] racial discrimination across the United States and abroad?

What are your thoughts about non-violent versus violent protests and actions? Do you think this is necessary, unnecessary, or a combination of both?

What are your thoughts on property damage, including such actions as taking down confederate statues and the like? Do you think the protests have/will change racist policies and do you believe systemic racism will decrease as a result of such social protests? What can/should, if anything, be done next?
