These guys like to pretend that there's some manner of protest that will be acceptable to them, because they don't want to admit that they just oppose the cause. But they were able to get apoplectic about Colin Kaepernicke's motionless protest so... it's not the manner of protest they hate.

I think there are a lot of dipshits who think they support the cause but don't understand that a nice belief + rejection of any means to achieve that belief = not actually supporting the cause Don't know if they're better or worse than the outright liars

Yeah, basically: "The perfect is the enemy of the good". I do think those dipshits are often well-meaning but it leads to, for example, helping a rabidly anti-Palestine president get elected... because you oppose the genocide in Palestine.

Seriously, this kind of poll is useless because the pool of respondents (in 1961!) would certainly be white men. Reality happens at the voting booth, where it matters!

... You do realize the Civil Rights Movement was boots on the ground and actually very important, right? ... and you know that the Civil Rights Act was not passed by popular vote, it was passed by Senators and Congresspeople, right? Like you do know these things?

We liberal boomers fought to give these groups rights, and we protested longer and harder than any young folks today have. Where were yall in the 70s when we protested for women's rights, poc rights and all that?

THIS needs to be part of what they teach in schools. Just showing the I have a dream speech doesn’t give the full context

They won't show other MLK stuff to kids because he was more or less a socialist who was very accurate in his assessment of race politics in the USA. Even now his critiques are cutting.
