Obama has a bad habit of being a cowardly bitch when it comes to Republicans.

It's pretty much him trying to appear nonthreatening to white people in general. He's terrified of being the angry black man.

It actually makes sense that Obama ended up this way. Black men of his generation with his talents that actually challenge the system or attempt to meaningfully introduce a form of democracy more meaningful than the one that allows this to happen had a funny way of being shot in motels by...definitely not the government.

This route allowed him access to fame, power, and wealth, and most importantly, life. How actually useful is it to people outside of his social circle and class? Not very.

It is a bit sad and amusing that he ends it with, "It won't lead to progress," as if that were ever the goal. These Tennessee Republicans are probably looking at tyrants in the history books and thinking that's the way that it's done.

The most progress we ever made towards civil rights was off the back of peaceful protests, yes.

What are you currently doing to resolve this? Actually, what do you want to do and want us to do that you think will realistically improve America?

By the way, politicians were literally lynching black people back in the early to mid 20th century and peacefully protesting got them to change their minds. Are you saying we are in a state worse than that where peacefully protesting won't work?

This is a half-truth. Those "peaceful protests" were as effective as they were thanks to the other (violent) protests happening at the same time.

Those protests were only considered violent because the police were literally spraying people with firehoses.

It's the same shit that happens today where people blame protesters when it's the police who are inciting the violence.

No, I'm referring to actual riots and calls to arm ourselves/fight back. Change didn't occur via purely peaceful protests, as you insinuated.

Black Panthers and Malcolm X were peaceful. Just because they armed themselves didn't mean they went around being violent. They were defending themselves against tyranny.

even if we accept that they changed their minds (highly debatable), it very much was not "peacefully protesting" that got them to do so
