Shooting at Austin protest tonight, 1 dead

I’ll always remember how completely fucking stupid you have to be to bring an assault rifle to a protest.

Both sides have done it and both have been completely fucking stupid.

See that, I’m able to judge someone on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

Yes but some have just causes. War being one, and back in the mid 2000s, I disagreed with their cause (I feel differently now). Protestors today block roadways, ruin art, and generally make people AGAINST their cause. Contrast that with what King did. Regardless if 2/3rd of the country saw him as an uppity negro in ‘66, there is no comparison. 

 

Ghandi- blocked roads, disrupted state industries. Incredibly unpopular with the not just the  British but the Indian client power structure.

MLK and SCLC- routinely blocked roads, inspired wild and violent overreaction and profound unpopularity not only with whites but many older black leaders who believed in gradualism and felt they were counter productive. 

Christians- two many examples of art smashing, chaos and defacement to list over the last 2000 years. So unpopular that Rome literally fed early Christian leaders to lions for fun and at one point were nearly driven to near extinction outside of India, Africa, Ireland and Syria/Turkey while Europeans worshiped a mishmash of local pagan deities, Roman gods, and flirted with Mithraism and other historic also-rans.

I don’t recall ever hearing America thought he was the most dangerous negro in the land but rather than was ascribed to Malcolm X. . 

When I was an eighth grader in Kansas City, Missouri, I went over to one of the neighbor kids houses to listen to Sergeant Pepper on the hi-tech reel-to-reel tape player his parents had purchased for him.

I had a brief interaction with his mom, listening to the news, who gleefully told me,  “They just killed Martin Lucifer Coon!”

Experiences may vary.

I wasn’t aware they blocked roads. I’ve been duped. I still don’t see leadership near the quality of MLK and some other blacks of the civil rights era or Ghandi in any of these movements. 

I’m aware of early Christian periods, but I’m not sure why you’re lumping them in here. Did they protest?  Cause chaos?  Tell me more.
