What revolution in America has occurred without death? Without blood? What revolution for black ppl?
Why should black ppl be peaceful in the face of the theft of our culture, rewriting of history, forced religion, psychological warfare, etc?
I’m not even saying resort to violence fwiw. I’m just asking a valid question. Would we expect anyone else to turn the other cheek?
Ppl imply that I’m saying something that I’m not but won’t use a fourth of that energy to touch what I said about Zimmerman. Why?
Nobody wants to talk about philando castile. That girl in the backseat was like four years old and witnessed the whole thing. She even consoled her mother afterwards while they were both in the back of the police car after they murdered that man and ppl have the nerve to say that nothing justifies what that guy did.
As ppl continue to benefit off of the oppression and suppression of black ppl in this country.
As Members of Congress that aided and abetted ppl that committed treason, that almost killed the Vice President and the speaker of the house are still in office while our black asses can’t even walk around a store without getting followed.
as if **** like stop and frisk wasn’t a thing.
The issue outside of the root causes of all of this is that ppl would rather be comfortable than to attack the issue and genuinely attempt to solve the issues. That would require having the will. It would require changing the entire culture of America and there is no will to do that which is why I said what I said earlier. Why fight for this? Why do what that guy did when you can put your energy and resources into exploring areas outside of America to see if you as an individual would have a better quality of life elsewhere. At least have a peace of mind.
I agree in principle with a lot of what you say, but you're kind of all over the place man. It could be a better discussion if you'd reel it in a little.
But to answer your question, American Independence was gained nonviolently prior to the actual war. There was a decade plus of nonviolent resistance. Protests, marches, petitions, boycotts, etc. They even created a parallel government and rejected British law and courts.
You just said "revolution can't occur without bloodshed." You didn't really use criteria in your statement it came off more like a blanket comment.
