(1,979 posts)MLK was derided by many white mainstream people, including liberals and Dems for his "outspoken" protesting instead of working within the system, which obviously was wrong on their part.
Attacking climate activists as spoiled antics by white kids is as offensive to me as your perceived offense.
Who cleaned up the mess of any protesting, ever? Viet Nam protests, BLM protests, etc. etc.
The point I was making was that the racists and conservatives who have and continue to attack protestors always use terms like "stunt" "antic" or others to dismiss them. They've used this on BLM, LGBQ, feminist, etc. activists forever.
So, why are people willing to side with those people just because they're climate activists, which one could say is the ultimate activism that affects all life on earth?
