#beyond the government killing our activist leaders in cold blood

[halfricanloveyou]

and a reminder that the FBI killed lots of Black activists (and MLK. i genuinely believe they killed MLK and Malcom X and it is known/confirmed that they killed several leaders and members of the Black Panthers.)

ALL governments kill activists, protestors, and occupants when they start getting too much attention or gaining too many followers. USAmericans love to make absurd, nonsensical, and pointless comparisons like these. i get so fucking tired of seeing white people bring him up all the goddamn time without knowing literally anything he said or did beyond his speech.

later in life MLK also specifically said “peaceful” protesting isn’t enough to cause change or gain support. idk how someone could be brazen enough to invoke MLK’s name or ANY Black activists when they should know good and goddamn well those activists were demonized and then murdered by the US government.

maybe if instead of using Black activists and Black suffering as a fun “gotcha” to win an arugment, someone could try to fight systemic racism or actually read or listen to anything Black people have said ever???

also fuck the israeli government and fuck their armed forces. they continue to murder Palestinians.
