    That you’re dismissing a racist election commissioner as not racist is evidence they haven’t been heard.

      In context, MLK had said....

      Certain conditions continue to exist in our society, which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.


      He was very clearly citing riots as a last resort, not as a main strategy.

      The George Floyd thing was universally condemned. No need to riot.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Riots aren’t a main strategy. As a pastor, you should have figured out that the riots are an expression of economic abuse and frustration—hence the participation of aimless white youth. All these are hallmarks of a crumbling fiscal system (the end times, perhaps), so you might wanna rethink always essentially saying “the problem has been solved, so you can all go home now.” That doesn’t sound very revolutionary. It sounds naive and safe.

          And he was saying that he understood why people rioted, not that he was actually endorsing it.

Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

            I didnt say he endorsed it, to be clear. I was saying that seer and people like rogue, CP, and MM don’t understand why people are rioting.

              EGGzackly. And each and every instance of police abuse that has come to light has been dealt with BESIDES police departments exposing and dealing with their OWN problems.

              This is all about a bunch of anarchists wanting to destroy the fabric of society, and using BLM to accomplish that.

                Oh, you were, were you?

                You mean I don't agree with the anarchists.

                  No, I simply mean MLK understands why riots happen, while you seem to be threatened by it. I expect pastors to be a little more informed about what happens when the consequences of evil national acts carry over to the next generation and sick societies crumble. Isn’t this what you were expecting as a pastor who preaches on eschatology?

                    You really can’t mean that every act of police abuse and brutality (since, say, the 80s) has been made right.

                        People shouldn't feel threatened by riots?

                          She distinguished “the blacks” from “the people.” Freudian slip.

                            I don’t think Christians of all people should feel threatened by anything, especially civil unrest.

                              Who cares if she is a racist? You're never going to completely remove racism from society. What are the ramifications exactly whether she's racist or not?
