MLK and Malcolm X

Two opposites who conservatives hated, but now they use both as if they always respected them....they use MLK for the way he protested and always claim he did it the right way, even though when he was doing it that way back then the hated him....they use Malcolm X for his criticism of white liberals taking his words out of context as if he supported white conservatives

dissent. Just like they turned kneeling in silent protest to being " disrespectful". Now they are calling for peaceful protest. When you get that, you say its disrespectful. Even now, when the looting and violence is diminishing. They are still upset that people are marching loudly in the streets, demanding to be heard. That's not peaceful. As Cuomo reminded us yesterday, peaceful does not equal passive.
