Organizers in Ferguson are training new protesters. I'm fine with nonviolent civil disobedience, but this session sounds like a cult, and recent history shows it is not non-violent.
"The topic of race came up briefly as Sekou points out, “Look at all these white folks putting their bodies on the line for black people, because this is not a separate struggle. It is one struggle.” "I agree with that.
"And I also think we’re not going to get change in this society unless white people are just a little bit afraid. Again, it’s okay to be a little bit afraid but just don’t be paralyzed in that fear."That's wrong, and that's why these protests will become violent. You can't claim you support non-violence at the same time you're talking about scaring people. This is why Obama encouraged them. This is the kind of protest he used to organize. This is how he hopes to start a violent revolution.
