That last line.  White folk, what MLK was doing in the 60s was ILLEGAL. That\u2019s why he insisted on passive resistance, because then they were not at fault, but they were still sitting at tables   and drinking out of fountains and sitting in buses illegally.  It was AGAINST THE LAW.  Y&#8217;all would be telling him to behave, probably.  Because that\u2019s what you do.  Everything has to be civilised. Respectable. Docile. Toothless.<\/p>\n<p>But after a while that loses its sting, because what armed force is going to just out their weapons down because a bunch of people protest in a respectable manner??  <\/p>\n<p>The unspoken threat behind the protests of the civil rights movement was \u2018imagine what would happen if we all got angry.\u2019  It seems people have forgotten that statement.  Now they\u2019re being reminded &#8211; and maybe rather than scold and waggle your whitesplain finger at the protestors for being naughty, ask yourself why people feel the need to get this level of angry in the first place.  <\/p>\n<p>You could maybe start by counting how many people of colour have been killed in the past six months by police\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>oracularpaintbrush: beautifulchaos1: theloneookami: jetgreguar: gluten-free-pussy: kropotkindersurprise: tuth9: thedayileftthewomb: kropotkindersurprise: April 25 2015 &#8211; Protesters take to the streets in Baltimore to express their anger over the Death of Freddie Gray, who was murdered by police. \u00a0 Yup.
