Biden calls for justice after footage released of police killing Black woman
Joe Biden has called on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, moments after shocking police video was released showing an Illinois officer fatally shooting Sonya Massey after she called police fearing a home intruder.
In his first public statement since dropping his bid for re-election, Biden said the shooting of Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman, by white Sangamon county sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson, in her home in Springfield, after a dispute over a pot of boiling water, “reminds us that all too often Black Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not”.
Biden, who is recovering from Covid at his home in Delaware, said Massey, “a beloved mother, friend, daughter and young Black woman … should be alive today”.
Did you really just compare yourself to Martin Luther King?
no was not
was pointing out the fact that as time passes the labels people get stuck with might sound different years later
Martin Luther King was someone who denounced the majority persuasion and we all benefited from the progress born of his struggles and sacrifices to this day
that was my point
I see, so you think Dr. King denounced white people. Yes, that's what he did for sure. He literally went out there and told white people to go fuck themselves for being white.
Very accurate reading of history.
the majority persuasion was that some people are less than and because he challenged that notion we have more rights today and are able to fight for more
whole reason me and you are able to debate/ discuss topics on the web today because he stood against the incoming tide of persuasion that him and a bunch others were less than and said hell no we are people too
That's not what that phrase means. At all. That might have been the majority opinion.
When you say something like "the majority persuasion," it means white people.
And you are putting the entirety of the civil rights movements on the words of one man, which is incredibly unfair to the huge number of very hard-working Americans, including some who eventually were in the U.S. government and endorsed that horrible, evil, racist Joe Biden you hate so much- notably these two:
John Lewis
and Bernie Sanders
If you are going to use phrases you don't understand, at least don't use them when completely mangling American history.
