[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all act like this shit is new.
The press and politicians and idiotic debaters on social media...this shit ain't new.
In the ‘I have a Dream’ speech on August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King referenced police brutality in that very same speech. You then go to the assassination of Fred Hampton by cops in Chicago. And then all of a sudden you go to the 1980s and you have rappers like NWA and Iced Tea and others talking about ‘F the police’ and also talking about police brutality. And so you’ve had this in each decade. You’ve had the Rodney King beating in the 1990s. Now all of a sudden is you’re in the 2000s. The difference here now is you actually have video of officers in action. That’s the game changer because nobody believed blacks before and cops had decades to develop the habits of brutality that they're now getting called out for.  Habits that need to be brought to an end.

Sounds good. MLK also promoted a poor people's campaign and a campaign against war. Excited to see your efforts in those spaces too  :) [/quote]

He also campaigned against true deep seated police brutality like Kent State and African Americans being shot with fire hoses while peacefully protesting. He did this at a time when African Americans were still treated as second class citizens and segregation was rampant.

To compare those times to today is shameful. [/quote]
That WE CAN STILL make the comparison is what is shameful![/quote]

If you lived through it or know any history of it then you'd know there is no comparison.
