(2,086 posts)To think that this struggle isn't the same struggle is to minimize and trivialize the deaths that have sparked the latest battle in the ongoing war against oppression.
Black youth is being killed. Do you not get that? Black children are being chosen as targets of availability because they are most vulnerable.
The present struggle is a continuation of the resistance of the '60s against the war of attrition against the black race. The heroic black soldiers and their white counterparts face death and prison just as before. Heroes abound, just as before.
"...what injustice are these protesters confronting and defying?" You can't be that stupid and inhuman. You can't fail to understand that these protesters are confronting the organized and officially sanctioned murderers of black children; hence, you're being deliberately dishonest.
Your belittling of this struggle is telling. The Oppressors have always used that tactic. I believe you're supporting the Oppressors because you're a member.
Economic tactics are the best weapon we have in this war. I've been quoted in this thread and I'd like to remind you:
"Like all oppressed people through-out history, they (black people) realize that a mob can't over-run a cohesive force of well-armed, government supported troops, no matter how poorly trained and disciplined those soldiers may be."
Boycott and disruption are tactics of resistance, tactics you and your ilk fear above all else. You're terrified of being impoverished and on an equal economic level as your victims.
FUCK your "holiday spirit". There's a fucking war going on and you want everyone to ignore it because of the "Baby Jesus" Don't you care at all about the actual babies dying around you as daily events?
Rhetorical, of course. I know what you care about. And your going to lose.
