Such a stupid thing to say. You support BLM right, are you out there protesting and not wasting your time on a message board?

No, you're the one who is pissed over someone making a thread about it lol.

You do not have to be pissed to call out crybabies.

Yes, we covered this in the BLM thread. Unlike Eon, I am a man of action. I am about shit in real life, not crying about it on the Internet.

Calm down

What have you actually done in real life that would amount to anything regarding your “SJW” theatrics?

No way. Protesting is useless and only people who need the attention and want to feel good protest. How many times have people protested and how many times did they get the exact change that they wanted? I think the ratio is 1000 to 1.

You change by voting or having money. You get ballot initiatives done. You run for office. Start a PAC and collect donations. Run advertisements.

Standing in the street with a sign or screaming almost never works. That should be taught in curriculum, required, for all schools. We should teach our children how to make political change while also letting them know they have the right to waste time protesting.

Someone should tell Martin Luther King, Jr.

Very glad you brought up MLK because that is exactly who I had in mind while writing my post. 🙂

You're suggesting that someone should let MLK know that civil disobedience and boycotting is different than what I'm referring to as protesting?

No need: he already knew the difference.

Hence why I said what I said in my post. 🙂

You should probably brush up on your knowledge of the Civil Rights movement.

Pretty sure King was all about non violent protest, and that’s why X hated him at first.

The Black Lives Matter protests are non-violent too . . . until the police start assaulting people.

You definitely should.

From MLK:

King become a national celebrity both for what he accomplished and how. “Our use of passive resistance in Montgomery,” King told TIME, “is not based on resistance to get rights for ourselves, but to achieve friendship with the men who are denying us our rights, and change them through friendship and a bond of Christian understanding before God.”

But don't let the Reverend's close relationship with God and using the Christian "turn the other cheek" belief - to support his civil disobedience actions - get in the way of your revisionist attempt on MLK's success.

Make sure not to strawman my position by using definitions of "protest" that do not align with my very clear use. 🙂

I mean damn tho, eon def isn't a man of action as we've since learned

Surely this thread should be mixed with the Black Lives Matter one? It all feeds into the same well of discontent.

"I'm about to tell a joke."

Then he'd wait ten seconds before saying:

"Well — why aren't you laughing? I just told the funniest joke ever!"
