Why is being woke kind of embarrassing? I dont feel ashamed of my beliefs. I think im right and valid for thinking pretty much every strongly held position I have. I just feel like a fucking nerd arguing it. It doesn’t help that im known as the woke one among my friends so when something happens they ask me/know im gonna have an opinion on it. My special interest has been politics since I was a kid; I have the worst kind of autism. I wish it were trains.
At least im not a liberal ig
What? Most civil rights leaders/black revolutionaries were not/are not for blind nonviolence. They were for self-defense for the most part. Malcolm X, The black panther party, WEB Dubois, Robert F. Williams, and Ida B. Wells are a couple. In some cases they were for strategic necessary violence. Also you are acting as if these movements are marked with a kind of crazed senseless racial violence where innocents are killed. They are not and never have been. 19 people died in the blm protest which is bad, but not all of those deaths are caused by rioting. Some were killed by the state. How many more people were brutalized by the police for protesting? The majority of blm protests didn’t even result in riots. You are comparing entities with an extreme differences in their amount of power. They aren’t comparable in the slightest.
