When did MLK ever advocate using violence though? He was all about non-violence and actually encouraged blacks to take beatings if it meant change. He preached love. You don’t become a Nazi or a rapist by fighting them (bad comparison btw, one is self-defense) but you certainly don’t become better than them. What about the black guy who got KKK members to change their minds by befriending them? Seems impossible, but it can happen.
See, that’s what y’all want. Y’all want marginalized people to take beatings in 2017. You’re not demanding the KKK, Neo-Nazis, Nazis, etc to stop being violent. You accept their violence and are OK with their violence AS LONG AS marginalized people take the beating.
Here’s a thought. Why don’t you talk to the KKK, Neo-Nazis, etc? Why don’t you talk to your white friends and white family members that either believe the same, or are OK with hate groups having an opinion that basically boils down to non-whites being subhuman and not worthy of having equal protection under the law, or being allowed to live.
Y’all tout out Dr. King as if he didn’t get shot in the damn head while he was advocating non-violence. Well, I’ll tell you what happens when Black people answer hate with love. You get NINE people murdered in church in Charleston, SC. NIne people that offered love, compassion, fellowship, and grace to a white supremacist and he SHOT THEM ANYWAY.
SO, fuck your feelings. It’s OUR lives on the line, not yours. We ARE better than them. We’ve ALWAYS been better than them, just based upon the fact that WHEN we were emancipated, we didn’t get our revenge for 400 years of slavery.
You all NEVER say the American colonists were “just as bad” as the British after the revolution. You all NEVER pull that false equivalency when it comes to the events surrounding an ARMED rebellion against their rightful King.
you really think a woman who plays some rich white bitch who becomes friends w her mamie is gonna know shit
