So you think it'd be logical and a good move for trans civil rights activists to deface an mlk statue? Since apparently defacing victim monuments is your idea of a productive protest, why isn't it happening?
Do you know remember last year or two when there was a rash of statue defacement that sparked meaningful conversation, you seen to just be I'll informed based on your two weird comments.
You mean confederate statues? Or was an mlk statue defaced to fight police brutality and it slipped through my finders?

Multiple statues multiple vandalizations. Maybe read a newspaper.

maybe you should provide relevant quotes to your links.
Bigots deface MLK statues.
Nazis deface Jewish things.
Genocide protestors paint genocide iconography.
You hear genocide you think Holocaust and and Frank.
Name a single better genocide symbol that would be a better target of vandalism to make a point.
maybe one who actually committed genocide.
I asked for one single better option and your choice was none.
You proved my point.
And the people who did it were racist trying to be racist. Thanks for proving my point that at best it's bad optics and damaging to their cause.
An edit just to laugh at the thought that you were thinking you had me only to post links to mlk statues being beheaded during black history month. You really think the people who did that were supporting blm?
Yes. Yes, they vandalized a statue of a relevant figure. Racism = MLK, police = George Floyd, colonialism = Columbus.
It's not always the things they're against that get vandalized, its what's relevant and will be noticed.
And that's how I can tell you took it at face value and didn't actually read anymore on the subject.
Famous civil rights locations were vandalized and some burned down during civil rights protests.. again, they do what gets attention which generally is what is annoying or controversial because literally no one cares if you chant outside Costco for 5 days.
Dog I asked for a source that someone advocating for civil rights defaced an mlk statue and you provided me with sources of people against civil rights defacing mlk statues. Stop pretending like i missed the point and touch grass.
Technically no, you said trans rights MLK was about racism, they're both civil rights but they're not comparable given that MLK is neither LGBTQ or oppressed because of LGBTQ.
Your example makes no sense but I will point out those people were protesting civil rights just their horrific concept of what that means.
Ie. Protesting for fewer civil rights is a civil rights protest just an incredibly stupid one.
I asked a very specific question and you failed to answer it. No technically about it.
That you did. Specifically:
I linked several sources that civil rights protestors defaced MLK statues. They may have shitty reprehensible concepts of civil rights but they are protesting ostensibly for civil rights.
I answered your question, it's not my fault you were exceedingly vague.
They are protesting against civil rights. You did not answer my question. Pro genocide people didn't deface this statue. You have missed the point so completely it's actually impressive.
For our against the protest is about civil rights, yes. You should be less vague.
Correct, anti genocide protestors did it because she's a Jew which is relevant and she's a genocide victim which is more relevant, the fact she's a Jewish genocide victim during a Jewish enacted pogram is sorry super goddamn relevant.
Zionists are the ones pushing that it's anti semitic because it works, the reason it works? It's people like you who say protest the "right way."
The answer is no. It was a concise question and you failed.
