People didn't see Gay Marriage happening either but here we are in 2015 and two women or men can get hitched
That was because the Supreme courts ruled State Laws were Unconstitutional.

Same reason BLM might fail, OWS and BLM are mostly privileged folks that are bored. Most of the "save the world" types are usually some underachiever that has some college credits. I used to come across them in college all the time, but never remember bumping into any when I was growing up in my old neighborhood.
These movements usually work better when you have people who are actually in the front-lines and living it everyday, or the movement will never have any heart or soul. Do we believe any of these BLM members will ever be at risk for police brutality, none of these guys are rebels to the system.
Didn't they get exposed for being backed by Clinton via the clintons paying for their websiteThese BLM dudes are worthless and this proves they're bought and paid for.
you got nikkas on this site who proudly brag about not voting so this isn't too surprising, these dudes love do nothing black powerism rather than productive black powerismBlack folks buy everything in this country besides politicians.
The fact there are no black PACs or Super PACs of import should let you know we aint about to get ANY legislation passed in this bytch.
Fair point. It also helps to know how to manipulate the media, to be honest. Rosa Parks wasn't the first person to not give up her seat on the bus but the movement understood that she would be a face that could sell it
This is exactly how I feel. People are so emotionally invested that they haven't stopped and come up with any real ideas. March, yell at politicians, march, protest. Wash and repeat. Ask them how they plan to get what they want and it's the same sad story. That movement needs real leadership or it's going to end up just like occupy wall street. A bunch of emotion with no tangible agenda, and nothing will change.She gave some good game, and it's basically the same thing that people not blindly riding/dying with BLM have been saying. What's on the agenda besides marching, protesting, and other forms of attention whoring? Deconstructing the prison industrial complex and acknowledging the overall structural racism of the justice system would be a good place to start regarding an agenda.
You keep missing my point. Instead of aimless babble why not put forth a focused agenda to push, then find districts you control and put your own candidates in those seats in congress then people have to listen to you. Completely removing yourself from the process accomplishes nothing just as complaining without a list of demands does nothing.
If you are crying about something and someone asks you what do you want in order to stop crying, you damn well better have an answer or you will get nothing and go back to crying by yourself.
Contrary to popular belief politicians above all else want to get elected, their goal is not simply to help you. So what you have to do is show them than unless you get A,B and C you are going ot make it very difficult for them to keep a job. Thats how you get shyt you want. Thats the only way you get what you want. But if you dont even know what A.B,and C is they have no reason to listen to you!
She dressing like
A presidential candidate and lifelong politician responding to a group of people effectively saying "STOP SYSYEMATICALLY KILLING US" with
"What do you want me to do " is purposefully obtuse to the problem and is literally playing dumb to the problem. I don't know, Mrs. Policymaker, we just don't want to die. You explain what YOU want to do to earn my vote.
cause that's how this is SUPPOSED TO WORK
GROUP SAYS "I HAVE PROBLEM" - taxes too high, schools are bad, I need a new bridge, I want to feel safe.
The politician says "I hear you, this is how I will address it"
Why do black people have to do the work and create the plan here? Nobody else ever does. What we want is to NOT DIE and FEEL SAFE. start there and YOU tell ME what you're going to do.
These BLM dudes are worthless and this proves they're bought and paid for.
I don't want to diss these dudes because i'm not personally doing anything, but they don't know what they are doing. They sound like a bunch of rah rah beatniks with no plan.
Right, it's like, when have white people ever given a damn about us? And why are people disappointed when they find out that they don't. It's like these black people never hung around their grandparents or something. I don't know about anyone else but might hipped me to the games that they play at a young age.This movement just exudes "Whites please accept us " instead of building on our own then combating , plus this movement is funded by George Soros a financial criminal and Gloria Steinem who was used by the CIA in the 70s to lure black woman into feminism and playing a key role in the dismantling of the black panthers movement . This exactly what happens when we don't have a code of conduct , anyone despite their past can just intrude these movements with no repercussions , we never learn smh .
