      It’s concerning how much support these types of statements get.

      “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

      –Dr. Martin Luther King Junior

          MLK Jr, the guy that has that one quote about white moderates that gets paraded around constantly while 90% of his other words are completely ignored.

            Good to see the true feelings of this community reflected in such quick fashion. ‘That one quote’ is a pretty lengthy diatribe, and it’s far from his only time. But the sick comeback makes white moderates feel better about themselves

    It’s funny because extending rights to marginalized people does not by any means diminish the rights of the privileged.

      There aren’t a limited amount of rights that can only be handed out to be shared amongst people.

      There are just rights and everyone should be entitled to them.
