BLM Supports Looters

[Brian37]

I get that. But again, it is still a reaction to getting kicked in the nuts.

"By any means necessary". He was certainly a separatist early on. But late in his life he did come come to the conclusion that we were all in this together. I agree. Late in his life he did understand the futility of us/vs them. But one cannot really blame him for even his early advocacy. Whites were fucking dicks no matter if blacks turned the other cheek or fought back.

If you ‘get it’, then probably shouldn’t refer to people who say Malcolm X advocated violence as ‘idiots’. Since when does being factually correct make someone an idiot?

Boru

I didn't call you an idiot. I was referring to history and a lifetime of people not getting why he did. 

Yes, he advocated violence. I agree. But for the same reason an abused spouse might react to their own abuse.

Blacks are still in a position today of damned if they do defend themselves, and damned if they don't.

THAT was my point.

I wasn't calling you an idiot, I was actually agreeing with your MLK quote. It shouldn't get to violence in the first place if you are addressing conditions.

MLK "A riot is the language of the unheard"..... I 100% agree Boru, so when you rightfully say Malcolm advocated violence, YOU ARE CORRECT. But by MLK's own words even he recognized, while it would not be his tactic, he understood the reaction to abuse.
