It's perfectly ok to say "It's okay to be White". But Black Lives Matter is "Marxist", "racist", etc. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

The high tide of riots and the militant edge of Black Power was 1968:
In the end it backfired as much as anything can ever be said to backfire. The riots were touched off by the murder of Doctor King, and they meant that hundreds of cities burned at once, on large scales, requiring massive deployments of troops in some of them. When Richard Nixon started insisting in soft-handed phrasing but it was exactly what he meant that 'give these people what they say they want and all they do is hate you and burn their own houses down, I promise law, order, and security' people were willing to listen. This was the wrong view, it neglected that these riots were touched off by King's murder as a pretext but fit into over 100 specific cases of local oppression that was already a time bomb waiting to go off.
So much of the soft-handed white supremacy of the modern age springs from these riots and the approach Richard Nixon used to turn them into the basis for his first sweeping victory.

Jamaica in the 1970s and 1980s: Reggae, Diaspora, and the Path to Homeownership
Jamaica in the 1970s and 1980s was a period marked by political unrest, cultural evolution, and a deepening connection with the global diaspora, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. The influence of reggae, New York street culture, and European culture, particularly in the UK, where Bob Marley spent considerable time, had a profound impact on Jamaica’s socio-political and…

We need brothers and sisters with this mindset today! It seems like everyone is complacent and happy because they got "theirs". A person born with a soul cannot feast while a starving man's face is pressed against the window in a blizzard! We aren't built like that! Now instead of a youngster wanting to be Angela Davis or a Fred Hampton they wanna be Koonye or Candace da Friendly Coon!

For all that his last 30 years of life in Ghana incline one to think unkindly of Ture's radicalism it did stem from very real experiences:
And the context of his Black Power speech in 1966, the one that gave the name to the later harder-edged Civil Rights movement is likewise often omitted. Kwame Ture spent his career seeking to challenge not just the violent mobs of massive resistance, but the ones in the state of Mississippi, among the most dangerous and bloody-handed of their kind. He saw that white activists of the Civil Rights movement were somewhat apathetic about it and viewed the color of their skin as at least something of a shield (and within some limits it was, sometimes. Other times not).
So when he made the shift, it was in response to real grievances and real realities. Unfortunately for Kwame Ture he had neither the aptitude nor the will to maintain the movement he took over, because maintaining a movement required a kind of focus that he just didn't have or want to have. Radical firebrand speeches are easy, translating them into daily grinding maintenance isn't.
