But those developments did not happen in a vacuum. Political movements are what ushered these cases to the purview of the Supreme Court. The government response in each of these cases was long overdue.
The question you’re asking is the same question MLK’s archetypal “white moderate” was asking in the 1960s. During that time it was difficult to see how the Civil Rights Movement transformed the course of history, but it created the political capital to enact real changes. In any case, that didn’t matter - activists…
It’s ignorant to literally ignore how the struggle has actually manifested. Was she asleep during the Civil Rights movement when white moderates preferred black people sit in the back of the bus?
Agree.
Lol but I like the spirit of his comment. “Why don’t you just be quiet and donate the money the white man gave you.”
If you agree, you’ve misjudged Kaepernick’s impact. He has a Supreme Court justice talking about him, made the cover of Time Magazine, and has inspired an entire symbolic protest movement. What’s he doing wrong?
