43. It was disturbing to read they don't want help from other POC or White (Progressives)

because those are all tainted as sell outs or something.

I was an activist in late 60's against Vietnam War. Ran into many different groups with different agendas...and there were some who wanted to "break off" and "do their own thing" not trusting anyone. So, this isn't new.

What's sad is that living through what I remember and my experience is-- that those who "broke off" into more violent actions ended up doing stuff that got them in jail or killed. Others not seeing change fast enough became bored or frustrated and dropped out becoming very establishment. But, there are so many positive actions that survive from the 60's we have to hope that "BLM" will reform our our whole Militarized Police and for profit Detention System along with Racial Targeting, Stop & Frisk without Cause and all the other reforms in the legal system that causes hostile Police Actions against POC, Mentally Ill, Homeless and Youth population.

I think this article is a good read for young people who may be looking for a more radical way of supporting a cause they believe in, feeling frustrated with what they view as "Establishment Failures"..but, having been through an era long before now..with much the same kind of language...I'd probably look and read carefully and think hard before I jumped in head first.

Focusing on "Constructive" and NOT "Destructive" Efforts win more people (hearts and minds) to work with one towards a Goal that might achieve progress over outright rage of Shaking Fists and Shouting Down those who could support your efforts and move one's "Agenda for Change" forward in a better more productive way.

But...in the end...Every Generation needs to find their "Own Path" to fight the injustices particular to their Own Time and Life Experiences.... BUT, be aware, that there may be "forces behind the scenes" with an Agenda You Aren't Aware Of that Might Come Back to Bite You on The Neck. Like a Vampire.

So, there's that.
