Like I said before. Where is the guarantee that I, or anyone else, is going to agree with whatever they want to do?
If you strt letting mobs make decisions then you will eventually have massive violence between mobs. That is why we have a government with rules and laws to address these issues. White people passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voters Rights Act. White people ratified the 13th-15th Amendments. If we need to make new changes to the system then lets make them in a way that honors the rule of law instead of mob violence.
First of all, BLM does have a specific goal. They need government and rule of law to accomplish that goal. And so far as I know, they are not fighting for the right of any group to do whatever it wants--most especially white supremacists.
Not sure who is advocating that we "let mobs make decisions." Not BLM. (you need to be more careful selecting parts to be representative of some negative whole: same problem in our discussion of "black culture" on the Juneteenth thread.
Fred, I too take rule of law very seriously, and don't support actions that undermine the principle--though that does not mean I support every law as passed and reject civil disobedience as a legitimate remedy at times.
"White people" passed the Civil Rights Act and Voters Rights Act in response to the tension created by civil rights "mobs." You agree with that, right?
