  • This honestly smells like the white washed “civil rights era” mentality that pretends nonviolence is the only strategy for positive change. MLK Jr. was inspired by Gandhi’s nonviolent movement, but he was well aware of the violent side of that story. After Gandhi was ignored and imprisoned, his mass movement turned violent, accomplishing the actual change.

    Dr. King’s strategy was to be a “reasonable black person” with the unspoken promise that white lawmakers would have to deal with “unreasonable” black people should they ignore him. It’s why anti rioting legislation was passed hand in hand with civil rights legislation. They capitulated, but also looked to set up barriers to violence in the future.

    The militarization of the police over the past half century can be seen as an extension of those anti rioting measures. Liberals want us to believe that nonviolence is our only tool, because that allows them to ignore our nonviolent efforts without fear of reprisal. The people we should direct our ire to aren’t just the fascists, but the pro-police politicians in general.
