From MLK to BLM: How the hate stays the same.

[AthenaAwakened]

I just worked an event for managers of a very large retail company (400+ stores nationwide) in the automotive related field.

There was not one single black manager or spouse in the entire group. I was really surprised.

Welcome to my world.

And white people know better than black people what black people's problems are?

Rational people of all colors know better than irrational ideologues of all colors about what any problems are and when a particular event is or is not an actual instance of a particular problem. For example, whether the St. Paul State Fair is rejecting vendors based on race or even whether the % of vendors accepted is at all out of step with the vendors who applied is not something better known by the magic of black skin. It is something only known by the application of reasoned thought to objective fact, of which most members of the BLM Borg have neither, not because they are black (many are not) but because they are idiots. (Note, plenty of smart black people do not support the all the rhetoric and actions of everything done under the BLM banner).

So you still didn't answer the question. But I have noticed you do that a lot.

Welcome to my world.

By definition that can't be your world, because as soon as you enter any room, it can no longer be true.

Getting back to this:

The same arguments and tactics used against the civil right movement of King's day, of Garvey's day, of Dubois and Douglass' day are the same arguments, tactics, evasions and denials that are used now. We look back on those times and no one, outside of the hopelessly delusional, would say those arguments and denials held water then, that they accurately described the situation. And fifty years hence that generation will look back on now and wonder how come so many people denied that something was wrong? why did so many white people refuse to see the trouble or listen to black people when black people tried to tell them.

Every valid argument about anything has been used invalidly at various times. It is pure logical fallacy to presume (as you do) that any argument that was ever used invalidly must always be invalid whenever it is used.

Also, pointing out the mindless knee-jerk approach of the BLM "movement" does not deny the existence of the real problem, but rather tries to keep the focus on the real problem, rather than presuming that every idiot who can put a hashtag in their tweet and get mindless conformist to show up actually understands the real problem and has done their intellectual homework to determine whether that problem underlies the superficial analysis of the specific events they are reacting to.

When has the majority of the white population in US History gotten their current racial situation right? When have the criticisms, used then and today, been on point?

is this hate?

Embedded media from this media site is no longer available

In cases like this BLM is part of the problem, not part of the solution. It's only about blacks being killed by cops, not about right or wrong.

Since white people are the problem then yes, we know more.
