‘GIVE UP YOUR HOUSE’ BLACK LIVE MATTERS ACTIVISTS STORM NEIGHBORHOOD AND DEMAND WHITE RESIDENTS GIVE UP THEIR HOMES. Black Lives Matter activists in Seattle have urged white residents to give up their homes as a form of reparations. “Give up your house,” an activist shouted into a megaphone. “Give black people back their homes. You’re sitting there comfortably — comfortable as f*** as if you didn’t help gentrify this neighborhood.”
