    I would say such a view means you couldn’t love your own children, not being willing to fight those that would, given the opportunity, take money for your child’s care, then deny that care when they needed it to live.

    That’s like a cow knowing their child is about to get the piston to their skull and telling their child to love the pistoner with grace. Very Jesus-y, but an awful parent.

      It’s a delicate point of view in general ill admit, in this situation specifically I would do all I can do to defend. I absolutely wouldn’t go and assassinate some guy that if any of us were in his shoes, with how he came out biologically and the contemporaries and their influence all their life, would be doing the exact same thing he was lead to think as right, true and just. It’s what’s called: “taking oaths” I guess. Convincing yourself that all you know now is not only all that’s worth knowing, but is no longer up for question, and that would then therefore lead you into any harm, hate or iniquity to any degree; the influence of our contemporaries or peers are a massive wieght in the “oaths” we take, so to speak, hence racism.

      We’re all just as vulnerable to becoming what we presently consider as the worst of the world, we’ve just been lucky enough to be abscent the variables and influences that make them so.

        You can walk the path of MLK jr. and another can walk the path of Malcolm X. Changes as massive as the ones we’re seeking often take multiple levers to maneuver into effect.

          Yep, MLK’s carrot would never have succeeded without the stick of Malcom X as a threat.

          Even then, MLK was stopped from spreading his message of economic equity and socialism, which was tragically extinguished before a matching stick like movement for that was formed, by our government in order to prevent that problem explicitly.

          The problem is however, amongst these two levers in particular, only one—ultimately, holds the potential of not only the least amount of lives lost, but the least amount of potential violence and the most potential for truly—again ultimately, reaching the day where at the very least violence is considered obsolete, and no longer necessary.

          The other only offers more of the same; it isn’t anything new but more of what history teaches only creates even more of: hate. The only true remedy to what you or anyone considers as hate—in any given point in time—is love, even to the point of self-sacrifice. It’s being abscent the true woes of violence that lead most to so easily conclude responding to it with love as nonsense.

              I’m sorry if I’ve insulted you in anyway, I’m not here to hate. So if I’ve offended you in anyway I genuinely apologize and I’m sorry about how you feel towards my sentiments, please consider considering them again sometime in the future.

              Happy new year my friend and good day to you.
