It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Did Malcolm X ever actually abandon his position of self-defense by any means necessary?
No
MLK Jr. never did either
It's an attempt to whitewash history to convince people that pacifism is The One True Path to Equality™
MLK Jr. was not alive to see the bulk of the civil rights act. Most of it was passed a week after his assassination, after the worst riots America had ever seen. Wonder what changed and forced the state's hand?
Cool, I thought I missed something.
No, he became less of a Black Nationalist and more accepting of white allies in the struggle, but he continued to believe that armed militias should protect black communities if the cops refuse to, at least as far as I know of him.
