cant go back in forth in here all day but i see some people working overtime to mischaracterize my point, so i'll overview
- i understand the anger
- doing things like this puts black people at further risk in this country which is my main and only concern -- us
- our words are just as powerful as our fists. not acknowledging this is an insult to our own intellect.
- i want us out of jail and alive. if that means dragging a racist verbally instead of laying hands (seen as assault in the eyes of a justic system thats looking for any reason to put us down as it is) then... yea
It wasnt mis characterized its just speaking from a past time paradise of just wait and let justice as the system sees it to kick in
There is no time for that
Our existence in the country is equally at risk ppul doing nothing but trying to live their lives in peace encounter violence and hatred from their own community and law enforcment and judicial system
There is no one way to handle it , and everyone does not porsses the same skillset to handle it in the manner you are suggesting
While I may agree that verbal vs verbal should not end in a physical altercation
part of the outrage is that they are pressing these race buttons because they feel they wont suffer behind now they are
