Wait so that is your complaint? SERIOUSLY?

If so Whatever...

We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."

(Of course that is not the whole thing, I am being brief.)


That was enough. Individual people are entitled to justice, such as George Floyd. Even if posthumously. No one is entitled to justice for slavery. The slaves and those who perpetuated their enslavement are beyond justice. Just by claiming some sort of collective status, the speaker is being racist.

WTF?

I'm sorry, are they NOT claiming to be acting on behalf of, or in response to harm done to, the black community when they destroy property, steal and commit assaults? I am not condemning any individual for having black skin, but at this point, identifying with, or claiming to act on behalf of the black community should be looked at as much askance as identifying with any other group on whose behalf such harm was done.

With all the problems of the world, this is the one that enrages you?

It actually doesn't. I care absolutely nothing for their cause or their actions at this point. It's a simple objective comparison based on their own actions and rhetoric. The animals and the barbarians have appropriated the name and identity of the black community. And given that no segment of the population as numerous as the black population of the US is as unified in voting patterns and political action, the onus should be on them to distance themselves from the so-called bad apples, which are a disproportionately prominent part of the barrel.
