Seen on Facebook, and it's absolutely true:Colin Kaepernick tried to peacefully warn is that something was deeply and systemically wrong, and he was vilified and ignored for it. Understand that I do prefer nonviolent direct action over rioting. (I myself helped organize and lead several marches against gay-bashing when I lived in Queens.) But there does come a time when ceful protesting stops working. Gay men went peacefully to horrible fates at the hands of the justice system, for breaking laws that were themselves unjust, for all of American history, until one night in 1969. I find it the height of absurdity to be expected to absorb the excruciatingly atrocious death of George Floyd peacefully. Again, people of color have been collectively knifed by the repeated incidences of the state taking their lives and blaming the victims, and Floyd's death is an especially egregious example of this. Nobody gets to tell us how to bleed. |
