(11,856 posts)You throw it out there like "red meat" but fail to properly explain what happened and to what black people this suggestion was given. You were sure to add the name of MLK and the SCLC. But what you failed to say was :
Reverend Suspended For Telling Black People To Exercise Their 2nd Amendment Rights
The SCLC wasnt too fond of Mostellers message of empowerment and issued this statement:
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference was founded and maintains its position against violence of ANY type. We are founded on the bedrock of non-violence and we encourage those principles as we seek social justice and social change in American society and around the world.
Although our organization does concur that the justice system in America has too often failed communities of color, particularly Black youth, in reviewing the comments made by the Rev. Mosteller on Wednesday, March 31, we have found that his comments do not represent, nor reflect the principles and position of this organization.
I get the feeling you're just shit stirring, and I'd appreciate it if you did it on another subject.
That's if you're here long enough
