I’m gonna sound like an ass when I say this and I don’t really mean to, but I can’t necessarily think of a better way to say it so: Why should they feel great?

I think the point was to bring attention to the fact that people have been protesting for a while now with little to no help. If the new people are truly wanting to make a difference and are committed to shaping the future, I doubt they would be discouraged reading this.

It’s not good enough. You don’t get a cookie for this. It’s literally the least one can do (besides not showing up). I don’t need to be respectful of people who haven’t earned respect. I respect people who show up to BLM protests time after time. I respect people who phone bank for campaigns, and canvass. I respect…

What say you, cheerleaders?

Your concerns are legitimate and deserve a thoughtful response. I think these are concerns that most of us are feeling. This is basically a real-life version of the ‘do you use a time machine to kill baby hitler?’ debate.

I’m getting real fucking sick of the white-washing MLK’s legacy into push-over non-violence. It’s a false narrative so white folks can feel better about themselves. King was for direct action and people need to read the non-edited versions of his letter from Birmingham Jail:

MLK still got assassinated.

I guess if you’re somebody with the sort of privilege that being threatened with hanging because of your ethnicity could only ever be just “words” I can see how punching someone who uttered them is unnecessary “violence” and not self defense. I’m sure Emmet Till could have simply talked his way out of that hanging.…

Fantastic, makes me want to hear the full cut. The Phil Collins one <3

A favorite of mine-

Perhaps you’ve never been called a nigger and told you were gonna get hung from a tree. When you were 10, and in Southern California, in the early 90s. So yes, punching a white Hate terrorist in the face is the right thing to do.

Yea those moral victories are going to feel extra hollow when they start using the full force of the federal military to round up dissenters. But feel free to cry those tears for sad fascists.

But is it when that person advocates “peaceful ethnic cleansing,” something that has never existed in the history of the world? Genocide by any other name is still fucking unacceptable.

Sorry. We’ve fought nazis in WWII. I have no remorse for a nazi getting punched in the face. They want to kill us. They want white male supremacy. I don’t have time for that kind of bullshit rhetoric and neither should you. Sometimes you have to fight. That kind of evil needs to be stomped out by any means…

THANK YOU!!! we must not be divided with this penny ante gaslighting. give me a fucking break

no, he just doesnt want to see or interact with any brown people.

how easily the frightened collude with the devil.

No, but I believe he would be perfectly happy to go back to Jim Crow times. Racism doesn’t have to be as bad as slavery for it to be bad. There is a huge range between full equality and slavery. Lots of room for Sessions to maneuver.
