and 2 reinforcing the line against the left by absorbing conservatives. even when they have all the power they can possibly get, their own blocks them. at some point we have to do something different bc we placed our trust in them over and over while actual leftist told us we shouldn't

the dems are never going to make it convenient for you to demand better from them. "now is not the time!" no, the time was in 2004 or 2008 or 2012 but the next best time is now bc they are purposely 1. letting things get worse

Yeah 1 thing I realized is a lot of black folks don't actually know what these people were about. They just know they're black & they support that, which I'm not always against, but if it starts & stops at being black for them, that always leads to trouble.

without the juxtaposition of those like Malcolm X, the Panthers, Robert F Williams, the Deacons for Defense, and all those other groups of Blacks who didn't roll by nonviolence's rules...suddenly dealing with the nonviolent folks seemed like a better deal.
"Deal with me, or we'll have Huey do it?"

Look how those Black soldiers reacted in Houston 1917 when they thought that police had shot and killed one of their men.
They squared up and was ready to take on the whole city.
Non-violent Direct Action is a tactic....for a specific time and place. BUT....

But let's also be clear that this was mostly a Southern phenomenon. The Civil rights movement is narrated as a country wide event, but it was southern..
Northern Negroes didn't want nothing to do with nonviolence. Look at Watts, Harlem, Detroit, Newark, Cleveland, Chicago, etc

They purposely put their bodies on the line to be brutalized. They literally had to take a class for it! Because they weren't used to letting people beat them without hitting back. They were trained. they wore their best clothes.
And the images were caught by television and newspaper men.
