Just picked it up from this tweet.

I knew the initial poll was too high. It's gone from 'Well of course their lives matter, all lives do' to 'Yeah we know what that means, fuck off.'

Really makes you think- how much of the "civil rights" movement was actually just what we're seeing now? But has been thoroughly white-washed by teams of stiens and bergs working in corporate journalism?

    Look at all those race riots shows just how much of a mess the American experiment has always been. One main difference is that pre 60's it was usually mobs fighting other mobs, usually black vs white. In the 60's the culture shifts and we get the culture of negro victim idolatry and that is when the white men and the negro more brazen. The riots then become black riots destroying cities to protest racism.

    Emmett Till wasn't a victim even after it came out years later the woman who said he whistled at her and tried to grab her said she lied?

    or even a real doctor.

    My god, are you grasping at straws to paint the civil rights movement as a big sham on whites, saying Emmett Till wasn't a victim and then saying that MLK is not "even a real doctor" as if he fancied himself as a medical doctor, people who have a PHD are referred to as "Dr.", yes, I am fully aware of all the assholes who don't have a PHD nor an MD but feel it's necessary to shit talk a PHD holder and say, "they're not a real doctor".

    If you think she's a liar, why does she suddenly become trustworthy once she says something that fits into your worldview?

    Ooooh. Gotcha. That totally explains why there is suppressed knowledge regarding Till's father getting executed for rape in Italy.

    Emmett Till's father was hanged for rape + murder by the US Army in 1945. I have trouble doubting that the apple fell too far from the tree.

    That's not the case because if it were then you would get white supremacists all over the internet making it a point to point that out about the civil rights movement, just like when white supremacists think they're uncovering MLK's wicked ways by telling people he's a socialist and to add insult to injury he liked fucking white prostitutes as if people didn't know that already, the public knows, the public does not care.

    Completely broken logic but okay

    The public at large has no idea that MLK was a rapist, no.

    This is like saying most people are aware of crime statistics and IQ data.

    They're not.
