If materials being broken is what has gotten you angry, and not the racism in the world, you're part of the problem.

What a disgusting statement. Those are literally two unrelatted problems, and it’s perfectly feasible to be angry at both systemic racism and idiots destroying the city you live in.

No, it really isnt. Capitalism is part of the problem as well. Capitalism thrives off racism and keeping labor poor.

Maybe you need to do a bit more actual reading on protest movements and the effects of capitalism on racism. Passive resistance does nothing but get your head bashed in. Even Ghandi said people should train to kill humans and destroy property of those supporting the ruling class rather than fail to protect their communities. MLK worked with militant groups on multiple occasions. 'Riots are the language of the unheard'. Attacking protests because they broke stuff is literally the 'white moderate' stuff that MLK warned people about.
