There is something very wrong with using popularity as a means to justify opposition to a valid protest. Very groupthinkish; reminiscent of those people who still think the Earth is flat even after Magellan traveled around it.
 
hand2handking hand2handking :lol: maaaan bruh so much ignorance in those cats who are either discrediting Kap because they think he protested in an "inappropriate" way or discrediting him because they think we live in a post-racial society. These are ADULTS spewing out ill-informed and flat out WRONG opinions off as fact. shame

The Guardian has great content from time to time, and I found this except especially important

Martin Luther King wrote in his famous letter from Birmingham jail that it was not radicals or extremists who represented the greatest threat in the fight for justice but those whose pleas for order – like those angrier at Kaepernick’s actions than what it signifies – derailed the struggle.


“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner,” he wrote, “but the white moderate who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a ‘more convenient season’.”

These people are the major roadblocks to progress. Not the bigots and true to the game white supremacist. But the people that claim not to be about that life yet turn a blind to these bigot's actions unless they do something grossly racist. Yet will be quick to tell a black person "I agree with you, but could you not protest this way, you're adding to the racial tension". And love to bring MLK up on some kumbaya steez.

Bigots and racist and are major problem in America, but there are enough minorities, progressives, liberals and moderates to bring them kicking and screaming into the future if all the white liberals and moderates took action. The problem is many don't

But yeah, they voted for Obama twice and they know MLK won't want us fighting like this so........ :rolleyes

not even popularity - only 500 people polled (we can guess who

) and we can draw this "conclusion"

not that this points to the greater issue of gentrication in SF
 
absolutely but IMO i take it a step further

IMO they are just as guilty thru "passiveness" of propagating white supremacy as any kkk member

put it like this, u remember that story of kitty genovese?

they were guilty of "the bystander effect" and so is some of "white america"
 
who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a ‘more convenient season’.”

MLK was spitting that fire.


Talking about those "don't protest here, there, this time, over there" folks.


That fact that think they can tell people when and where to protest to some real privileged ****.
 
 
 

The difference is, that character didn't know he was black. More like:

HOW IS THIS ATTRACTIVE :x  

Everybody aint bigoted against transracial people like you. I think Sammy is brave and beautiful.

You're ignorant B, Sammy is not transracial, he has always identified as the same race he just identifies with his culture :smh:

I can't wait until the 2030 census, so Iridescent Domincans can finally have their own box. :smokin
 
Sammy is guilty.


How Charlemagne a pass for that though?
Smooth as hell how he pulled this off.
 
how the hell is he transracial ?
Yeah idk what that's all about either
Da logical assumption is Sammy's skin simply returned to its original state when he got out of da sun. He used to be darker because of prolonged exposure to sunlight

It is sad as hell that MLK message and image has been so watered down.

Many people legit think he was just bout some turning the other check, and waiting until people came around.
 
i dont even think its that they really believe that as much as they NEED to believe that

like its easier to make him a pacifist and extoll virtues of patience as means to an end

or rather because thats what they want ppl to do, so simply say thats what MLK stood for
