Yeah, I want people in general to stop judging others on the basis of race. Clearly the exact opposite objective of the civil rights movement.. /sarcasm

- mcphage 9y agoOf course you do, everybody wants that. But you also want to pretend that white people are already there, and it's the black people who are the problem. And the civil rights movement wants you to know that it's white people with delicate feels and their heads stuck in the sand that are holding civil rights back. Civil rights advance when white people are made to understand that they're pushing everyone else down.
- scottLobster 9y agoI never said black people were the problem, or that white people are already there. I said mentalities like "never trust whitey" are the problem, and I'd include corresponding white mentalities like an irrational fear of black people, stop and frisk, police abuse, etc in that category. The Civil rights movement will make no progress if it alienates potential allies by first demanding penance for one's skin color.
