Democracy is not some magical idea which gives justice to everyone, if only they work with the system. Pure Democracy definitively allows the majority to oppress the minority. The 51% can and will oppress the 49%. That's one of the reasons the US has a Republic. But even the Republic allows systematic oppression of minorities, as much as we try to prevent it. When the system does not give power to your group, it is not possible to work within the system to fix it. That said, I agree: Civil disobedience should not involve silencing others to be heard. You're condoning discriminating against entire disparate groups for the actions of a few? I...what? Really? Really?Something's wrong? Use our fucking democracy like everybody else.
Silencing other people who're working hard to be heard themselves is not fucking acceptable.
Fuck #blacklivesmatter.
Yes, yes, these are only two people and this is only a small minority of the people waving this banner, but that's pretty much always the case.
I holding a movement responsible for the actions of its members that seem to go completely unchallenged. Maybe I'm wrong. Can you point to black lives matters activists who've spoken out against roadblocks, human walls preventing access to education, and violently interrupting political rallies? All I've heard from black lives matters protestors is the kind of unreasonable crap that 8bit was spewing.You're condoning discriminating against entire disparate groups for the actions of a few? I...what? Really? Really?
