[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3474735, member: 66082"] Look, MLK and the civil rights movement were about a radical transformation of all of American society, meaning their plan by designed would have impacted every American. They wanted to change who lived in what neighborhoods, who got to compete for what jobs, who got to go to certain schools, who got to vote. They wanted to change the power structure in American society and use the government, the courts, and tremendous political protests to force that change. Objectively, they were advocating a radical transformation of all of American society and for that they were called, communists, criminals(just like blm), blamed for violence(just like blm), said to violate the laws(just like blm), called anti American(just like blm), etc. And in the foreground to that movement was the black power movement, that had even more radicals who often worked with and agreed with the larger civil rights movements, these radicals called for violent uprising, they called for an eye for an eye, they carried guns, trained with guns, talked openly of killing cops, etc. Yet you believe that you would have supported that civil rights movement. lol but you find Black lives matter which as an organization is only calling for police reform of certain police departments in certain cities and places to lessen police violence and harassment towards black Americans by using the federal and local governments which means by design, they want very narrowly focused policy solutions which won't impact most Americans as too radical and violent. lol [/QUOTE]
