COMMUNITY Social Justice Thread: R.I.P. George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor & now Tyre Nichols

TheNightKing said:
I been reading the autobiography of Malcolm X and had an interesting revelation. He said the March on Washington was originally grass roots and black based, but was then taken over by whites and tokens (of which he included MLK). He argued, how can any black man march with those who are his enemy and whom we are fighting against.

Is the same thing happening now?

Oh yes, the "Farce on Washington", as he referred to it.

He totally believed their involvement watered down the movement considerably. Even after the event, he saw alot of People using the March as some sort of Badge of Honor or some sort of Social Gathering--bragging points--to say that they were there and participated in the event, all the while missing the entire point of the March.

Here in Phoenix this past Summer, there was protests. Some of the White Protestors was having a Conversation with some White Dude who was calling them out on their shit. The things they said.......

........pointing out how they know their White Privilege works for them, that they know they'll get better Jobs than Black People, live in better Neighborhoods, have better Opportunities, but completely oblivious that what they said was counterproductive to why they were there in the 1st place. The White Dude pointed out to them that what they were saying was insulting and Racist.

And the Black People--what were they doing?

Standing by, not saying shit.
