You haven't offered any solutions. Martin was a good brother but peace is only one side of the equation. You see what they did to him. You see how they apply the laws they create. Unlike the countries you mentioned that were bombed out we live oftentimes right next door to those who hate us. So we have to be very strategic.
"Peace" isn't a side of the equation. Martin didn't practice "peace", he practiced strong grassroots organization, targeted nonviolent actions designed to provoke evil responses (and with media coverage), effective economic boycotts, love for his enemies and belief that some of them could be changed, legal action, and a brave willingness to lay down his own life for the cause.
I'm not going to lay out the entire strategy for the movement on an internet message board. But there are some people who are working to change shyt right now, and there are plenty of people who have done it before us. If you want to know how to make it happen, then read up more on the actual strategy of the Big Six in the Civil Rights Movement, Gandhi in India, the South African anti-Apartheid movement, Solidarity in Poland, or the People Power Revolution in the Philippines. I could name dozens of others, but those five have some of the best shyt written up on them.
And yes, look what they did to Martin. Hell, look what they did to dozens of other nonviolent activists who died in the Civil Rights movement. But they would do the same to
thousands if the action was violent. Hell, they'd do it cold-blooded and in the open like they did with Fred, because they can get away with that with folk who are believed to be violent.
If you want freedom, you have to be ready to take losses. But would you rather have Gandhi's freedom losses (maybe 10,000 of your own dead, without your own violence), or would you rather have Vietnamese freedom losses (take out 60,000 of them, but lose 2,000,000 of your own and end up with a bombed-out country)?
Op is frustrated and how do you know he is chickenshyt. You dont know anything about what he experiences on a daily basis that may push him over the edge.
I shouldn't have made that personal - I'm just saying that in general, anyone who needs to have a gun in their hand before they confront the system is taking the cowardly path. The gun don't actually make you any safer, it probably makes you more likely to die, but it makes the fearful feel big when they have it in their hands, which is why so many scared-ass people (
especially White people) like to carry them for "security", like a little boy who needs a blankie.
shyt won't change until we're willing to die for our principles and objectives. We're a conquered people for the most part(yes that was a generalization, not an absolute statement). I promised myself I'd intervene physically if I saw the shyt happening to someone black(police brutality) and my friends of course gave me the most docile replies. shyt hurt my soul. But the response were expected.
Amen to that. We have to be willing to die for change before anything will change. We have to be willing to make economic sacrifices for the shyt we believe in too.
Just killing the wrong people.
