I kno alot of cats on here is wet behind the ears, but have some perspective.
Act like you didnt have cacs that was "down" for the cause back in the 60's and 70's. Guess what happened to them? They got old, conservative and eventually fell in with their own tribe. People in general tend to become less liberal the older the get, but cacs will flip the script on you once they see the benefits of dat' white privilege. There are literally centuries of history that says the white man is not to be trusted and nikkas still eager to love them down.
And you're dead on with this. Obviously younger cats wont remember or know about CACs who were "down for the cause" back in the civil rights era, but if they were really "down," why didnt the byproducts of this yield much more? Why arent these people (who'd be in their 60s-70s and the same ages as these old as politicians in office) being more vocal/visible.
Thing is that ALOT of these folks are down for the experience when they are in their 20s and looking for a cause to dikkride. They know the cops wont crack them over the head, especially with the cameras rolling. When I when out to protest on Monday and Tuesday here in NY, there were TONS of CACs marching and I paid special attention to the ones who were out to snap pics to tweet, attempt to agitate cops, and also suck up energy for their own causes (LGBT, hipster rights). And lets be real, I'm sure in ALL of these demonstrations you had undercover cops in the mix just to soak up as much game as possible. I'd encourage all of yall Coli brehs who live in major cities to join in on these demonstrations not just for the support of the cause but to see how these "others" operate and siphon the energy of the moment for their own future usage
