'I can't believe this happened again' - 2020

in politics •  7 years ago 

This takes no courage to put a bullhorn in the face of a 20 something white kid. You're not righteous and you're not on the right side of history. Every social movement that meant anything and had any lasting affect was done from compassion for the victim not just hate for the oppressor. If you can even call this kid one.

Go ask Dr King
Go ask Gregory Boyle
Go ask Ghandi
Go ask Thich Naht Hahn
Go ask Jesus
Go ask the elderly lady dumping lentils into a bowl in Salinas
Go ask the people trying to be fathers to young men in Chicago
Go ask

Your righteousness is faux, transient, and shallow. Embarrassing. Foolish. Worth more the same as 120 hours of volunteer work at Trump Tower in October 2019.
