Okay. Let's back up to what I said you said:Pal, you're reading what you want to read and being angry at anything that may not sound exactly like what you want to hear. You're the type that hurts movements because you can't engage in conversation, recognize sympathetic souls, and shout down anyone that disagrees with your methods. You're also putting words in my mouth.
Guy, you came in here to say MLK isn't infallible...
.Just because MLK said it doesn't make it gospel. He wasn't infallible.
...that black people could possibly make you late to pick up your child...
.I completely disagree with shutting down roadways. As both a parent and sufferer of an anxiety disorder, I would have a very difficult time sitting idle in my car if I was attempting to reach my child. It's not just about medical emergencies.
We're not talking about forcing people to hear and see you. We're talking about restricting someone's movement. And I think that's wrong.
...and they should stop because the protests they did long ago were more palatable to you.
What words did I put in your mouth?The civil rights movement wasn't strictly or even primarily about this type of protesting. Shutting down a highway or burning people's businesses is not the same as refusing to give up a bus seat. Those were different times, and it was very simple acts of civil disobedience that brought about the movement, and it was the unification of all brothers and sisters in the movement for equality that brought about real change.
