Yesterday was MLK Jr day, and BLM jumped right on the bandwagon

As the nation celebrates #MLK Jr day — some would say it's important to note the current movement, that his people are still fighting the battle he started. They may go as far as to remind us all that people today are more critical of the movement for black lives than they were of the civil rights movement in the 60's.

And then they ask-- How do we change that?

~~~Here we go... you want 2 cents? I got it!~~~

I think that what most people in this day and age forget, is that MLK Jr WAS A PACIFIST- That is probably the big difference. He was also educated. He calculated his words. He calculated the response to his words. He calculated his response to their response. He thought things out and always stayed true to his core self- being a pacifist (which means he wholeheartedly believed that war and violence are unjustifiable). And thus, he will always be remembered as the biggest ACTIVIST. His demeanor, his actions, his very well thought out words and marches were the most powerful actions of the day. 

Today's movement, BLM, hinders itself by straying from that. By siding with Black Panther rhetoric and trying to connect it to the peaceful Mr. King. By siding with criminals and trying to make them seem like heroes. By going against the law instead of working side by side with them to see the change they want to see. What the movement is ignoring, is the fact that there are many many ways to go about this... there's probably a way to go about it in which neither side perishes.... BLM has to find that middle ground. They have to separate themselves from the BAD GUYS that stand out more than the good guys....

And for those of us who are critical of the movement, who are afraid of the people involved in the movement, who cannot find a common ground with them... They are 'racists'. They 'support the KKK'. they are 'bigots'. NO. NOT TRUE. 

Not agreeing with everything about Black Lives Matter is not the same as the 60s when civil rights activists got beat up or worse, lynched. To compare the two eras, the two groups of 'activists', is offensive to those activists who died fighting the good fight.
