Great TYT segment on how BLM can improve its tactics

6. But what message was it sending?

I can see having die-ins at shopping malls on Black Friday or disrupting tree-lighting ceremonies. Those things directly target consumer culture, middle class complacency, and the exclusion of the black community from the unexamined privileges of mainstream America.

But what are you targeting when you tell white progressives that they're indistinguishable from the Ku Klux Klan? The message, if there is one, is that even the best of the political mainstream isn't good enough and only deserves to have its nose rubbed in its own unworthiness.

That's not a message that's likely to resonate. It's one thing to guilt-trip people who are already half-aware that they're being self-indulgent and self-satisfied. It's another to go after people when they're pursuing what they see as a higher cause and tell them that cause is shit.

I can't recall the Free Speech Movement ever doing anything like that.
