[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My husband and I have been watching Eyes on the Prize, from Netflix. We're about halfway through. It is extraordinary and I am angry that it was not shown in my history classes in high school. Everyone should see it. The parallels with today are inescapable. When I read today about the BLM leader arrested outside of Baton Rouge[b] I immediately thought of the scenes from the documentary where civil rights leaders were arrested and called "agitators."[/b] It's the same language used today. [b]To the extent anyone is "agitating," it's because there is a real problem that needs to be stirred up and fixed.[/b] The protesters are not creating the problem. They are highlighting the problem.

"They call us 'agitators.'  You know what an agitator is, don't you?  It's that thing in the washing machine that gets out the dirt.  That's what we're doing, we're getting out the dirt."

--Thurgood Marshall[/quote]
FYI, anyone can be an agitator regardless of your skin colour.[/quote]
