Now, history raises him as the pinnacle of civil rights leaders, and his movement as an effective way to fight injustice.
I wonder what they'll say about BLM in fifty years.
I wonder which side of history you want to fall on.
To add - the continual bashing of Black Lives Matter brings to mind this quote by Martin Luther King Jr:
"I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
The moderate more devoted to "order" than to justice, says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action" and implores people to wait for a more convenient time? I see it so often, everywhere, in all issues... though none more than this one.
ALL lives matter and it shouldn't matter what color of skin someone has.
