What is the difference between protest vs. demonstration? How can these two activities help address a racist policy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protest vs. demonstration comes down to the intention of your activity. While the two terms are used interchangeably, a protest is looking for change to a racist policy and a demonstration is trying to raise awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to better understand a protest vs. a demonstration, as well as other related terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Protest vs. Demonstration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Demonstrations and protests are another technique for fighting racism<\/a>. Though the terms are often used interchangeably, they don\u2019t mean the same thing. Here’s the breakdown of a protest vs. demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A protest has the end goal of getting a racist policy changed.<\/strong> Protests involve organizing people and take place over a long period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best protests create situations where changing policy is in racist powers\u2019 best interests. For example, if teachers are on strike and racist power needs them to resume work, racist power might give the teachers raises. It\u2019s hard to create situations like this, of course, because racist power tries to make the most threatening protests illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A demonstration aims to raise awareness about a problem.<\/strong> Demonstrations involve mobilizing people in a particular place for a short period of time. Demonstrations aren\u2019t as effective as protests because they only force change when power can\u2019t deal with bad press, such as near election time. Most of the time, demonstrations don\u2019t do anything except annoy racist power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best demonstrations help people become antiracist and emotionally support protests. For example, while Black women were boycotting buses in Montgomery, Alabama, they were supported by nighttime rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re wondering about protest vs. demonstration and what’s right for you, use these definitions and examples to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ibram\u2019s Experiences With Activism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ibram X. Kendi had personal experience in understanding protest vs. demonstration. In 2007, Black students stood under the \u201cWhite tree\u201d in Jena, Louisiana. The next day, White students had hung nooses in the tree. This sparked racist violence that eventually led to six Black students, the \u201cJena 6,\u201d beating up a White student. One of the students was charged as a juvenile and the others were charged with attempted murder. The district attorney wanted to send them to prison for 100 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to this, Ibram came up with a plan to free the Jena 6 that he presented at a Black Student Union meeting.<\/strong> He called it the 106 Campaign, and it involved two phases. The first was to recruit 106 students on 106 campuses to rally and fundraise for a legal defense fund. The second phase was to organize all these students into a car caravan that would disrupt traffic in Washington, D.C. and force the president to work on the Louisiana governor, who would work on the local Jena government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One woman asked if the car caravans were illegal, and others were scared of being towed or of police response. Ibram ignored their fears and kept outlining the plan. He said that they could go to prison, but they should be fine with that because their cause was important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ibram thought he was being radical, but what he was really doing was scaring people off. The Black Student Union officers voted down his plan. <\/strong>At the time, he thought they were ignorant\u2014he was committed to educational suasion<\/a> and thought the other students were the problem, not him. He later realized that although his ideas sounded <\/em>radical, they weren\u2019t. True radicalism changes the way people think and prompts real change in the world, neither of which he was doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new, less risky plan was to demonstrate on campus and to fundraise for legal defense. The demonstrations didn\u2019t have a large effect\u2014the very next day after the demonstrations, the judge denied one of the six bail. This was hard on the demonstrators\u2014if nothing causes change, what\u2019s the point? But that’s one of the things about a protest vs. demonstration, the goal isn’t to change the policy. However, the fundraising was <\/em>effective\u2014the new defense attorneys managed to get all of the six pleading guilty to simple battery, and no one went to jail.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identification of the Problem<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To work towards ending racism, you have to treat the cause, not the symptoms. Many people think that racism is caused by ignorance and hate, but as we\u2019ve learned in previous chapters, in fact, it\u2019s actually caused by self-interest and policy. The ignorance and hate come later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, any attempt to end racism that starts by addressing ignorance and hate instead of the root cause is never going to be successful.<\/strong> For example, mentoring programs might help individuals, but no behavioral program will have an effect on policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While racist power is very flexible\u2014it will use whatever strategy is most effective\u2014historically, antiracists have tried the same strategies over and over again, even though they\u2019ve never worked and will never work<\/strong> because they focus in the wrong place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ibram, activism seeks power and creates policy change.<\/strong> Changing minds and critiquing doesn\u2019t count as activism. So, in considering a protest vs. a demonstration, the protest is the stronger activism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
