The Civil rights activists that we laud today like MLK. Harvey Milk, etc were called the same that these guys are today. I am just saying. It’s easy to romanticize the past. Believe me, I’ve been guilty of it before too but if we want to convince ourselves that silent protests are the only reason that civil rights won out in the end, I will have to strongly disagree. Sometimes direct and vocal action is needed. And if that means Bernei Sanders’ supporters get their ego bruised because their candidate isn’t being treated like a political messiah than tough shit. I am sorry. I really do like Senator Sanders and I intend on voting for him fully but they have every right to protest and pressure him and I think it actually worked some since he did release a detailed position sheet on what he’d do.
