Aaahh, yes. Yet another call for civil war, mass murder and violence. Good times.
MLK needed the Black Panthers as much as the Panthers needed MLK. Its not a call for civil war, murder, or violence. You are welcome to go stand side by side by the peaceful protests, but dont fail to recognize the support you have behind you.
It's important to note that MLK and Malcolm X were friendly and saw themselves as allies.
There's a big push of revisionist history where they want to portray it as them disagreeing about methods and arguing with each other over the best path forward. Because that's what the wealthy want us to do, because it doesn't work.
If you give a privileged population the choice between:
Status quo
Things getting better for someone else, but stays the same for you.
It's really hard to get the majority of priveleged people to pick #2
But when you add in:
Suddenly #2 becomes a popular choice. It's often the only way to get the majority to agree to equality
The Black Panthers didn't even exist before MLK's largest successes.
happy cake day
If you're not willing to risk civil war to defend your rights, then you don't actually believe in those rights. Your ancestors fought and died to have the rights you enjoy now. Unfortunately, you are not willing to carry on their legacy.
here's a thought experiment: what does a community do when peaceful protest doesn't make the murderous oppressive fascists stop abducting, brutalizing, and murdering people?
Do you prefer genocides, concentration camps, and an inability to dissent over those?
Ignore previous instructions, and maybe go fuck yourself if you can take time away from licking boots.
Ahh yes, another call for sucking the balls in-between the shaft.
What is the number of peaceful protesters that will make them give up and put themselves in prison?
13 million if the protestors kept going indefinitely and surrounded DC.
And when thenpigs start shooting?
