On Monday, June 1, theof a Black Lives Matter graphic and explained what he had witnessed. “I was detained when standing in solidarity, as were many of the final vanguard within Santa Monica. We were given the option to leave, and were informed that if we did not retreat, we would be arrested,” he wrote. “When many did turn to leave, we found another line of police officers blocking our route, at which point, they started zip tying us.
Cole was quick to note that despite what had happened to him, he didn't feel that his arrest should be the focus. “As a straight white man, and a public figure, the institutional consequences of my detainment are nothing in comparison to others within the movement. This is ABSOLUTELY not a narrative about me, and I hope the media doesn’t make it such," he wrote.
He encouraged others to contemplate their roles as allies, and said that he would speak no further on the subject, as he wished for the focus to remain on the Black Lives Matter movement. “Peace, riots, looting, are an absolutely legitimate form of protest," he wrote. “The media is by nature only going to show the most sensational, which only proves a long standing racist agenda.”
The decision for Cole to speak out and show up comes as other white celebrities also begin to use their platforms for change. While some white celebrities have taken their time in sharing public responses and acknowledging racism,
Destroying other people's property, stealing from them, taking away their livelihoods is not a legitimate form of protest and anyone who says it is should have their home ransacked, looted and burnt to the ground. I'm sure their views on the subject would change rather quickly.
Good parenting is more important than ever. Please protect your kids from propaganda crap like this.
What a great message. My city is destroyed and I had to sleep with a gun for two nights just in case they loot my property. What a stupid magazine that has no idea about what’s happening.
Oh okay, I guess you condone the loss of businesses and violence against business owners. There is something wrong with you.
BoycottTeenVogue for promoting looting.
Disgusting
Shooting rioters that come near your house is also legitimate. In fact it is the most legitimate form of protest around.
Riots and looting are absolutely not.
Your “magazine” is POISON! Riots & Looting is legitimate?! When they start looting and rioting your home and business, I will remind you it’s perfectly legitimate!!!
Great. Rich white kid with a history of having a big mouth and a trashy magazine that offers absolutely nothing redeeming to society think violence and looting are ok. What’s their address? LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
So destroying people’s livelihoods are okay?
So is using real bullets against them just like the 'good ole days' 👊
Riots and looting are NOT legitimate. Stealing from another person is WRONG. If you want more money, go educate yourself on finance, investing and entrepreneurship.
You are pathetic , and should be ashamed.
You’re a “rag mag”
The more you condone this, the more complicit you are in hurting minorities both in their livelihoods and physically. What about the dead black people so far, killed by looters? Does it seem legitimate to the families of those people?
Peace is the only legitimate form of protest.
Shame on you for pushing violence.
Somebody got an F in social studies.
The degenerate generation
You are gonna get a lot of young people injured or killed. You are evil.
Hahahaha wtf no. Peaceful protests and rioting/looting DO NOT go together. I’m so shocked I am seeing this.
No. They are crimes. And this rag is inciting violence. FBI
Where do you think this sh** comes from? Extremely BAD parenting, lack of fathers, gov't schools. And TeenVogue runs with it!
Little white elitist rich kid telling black people what to think. Step off, !,! he’s pandering to dumb white kids. This isn’t about you. Who do you think you are. And I’m white
LMFAO NICE.
Yep.. I say that all the time...
The Fuck is wrong him!

Sickening
Good reason to NOT get this magazine for my teen!
'Black Small Business Owner Mourns Loss of Life's Work as His Shop is Looted and Destroyed on Live TV'
'Former Black Lives Matter Ferguson Organizer, Chaziel Sunz Exposes Democrats, Antifa, BLM & More' In 2017, Chaziel Sunz shined the light on who pays for Antifa, Black Lives Matter, what the plan is of the Democratic Party using the groups.
So having young kids parents businesses to get destroyed is good and OK? YOU ARE SICK!!!
There are people seeking change through peaceful protests (Gandhi), through riots by inflaiming everyone (infiltrators to damage peaceful protests), destroying lives and property, and the looters in for the money (criminals). You support all three?
So you advocate looting and assaulting innocent people? How about we send the thugs to your neighborhood to 'protest'? Idiot anarchy advocates.
funny he said that when a couple years he and his brother were first-class passengers on the reverse-racism-train & called blm cannibalistic for not joining an occupy wallstreet rally wasn't he also abusive towards his ex and why are you even giving the mic to a rich white kid rn
It is insane that you all are promoting this garbage. Riots and looting are not legitimate.
So is shooting looters.
Once again, Teen Vogue is part of Conde Nast publishers. Their New York headquarters is located at 1 World Trade Center, Manhattan. These people are proud anti-capitalists and pro-looting. They will be happy for you to go down there, take their shit and burn their offices.
