The Vietnam war involved forcing Americans to fight a BS war. The average American hardly feels the same kind of impact in relation to Israel, which is why you don't see protests against the USA/Israel right now on a scale anywhere near those that happened during the Vietnam war.
As for George Floyd's death, it took the largest protests in American history to take 3 cops to trial to be found guilty.
I don't think your comparison makes sense and it's leaving out so many factors about USA/Israel.
Why aren't these protestors calling Trump out at his rallies? They know neither party will cut ties with Israel, and it seems folks in this thread are torn between acknowledging this while simultaneously claiming the Dems minds' could be changed by these protestors. Just seems painfully naive.
I gotta ask. How many of y'all here are POC or women, and how many are white dudes?
Would it kill you to just say Black you peckerwood motherfuck
Nice crackerjacketing by the way, you fucking disgust me and they should probably let another Langley uniform run your account. There's an entire Black enclave on this fed, but you out here talm bout "how many" cracker shut the fuck up
EDIT, because as a matter of fact? I got a whole raft of 'actually-Black' critique for your misleader queen right the fuck here. Twenty-eight articles ranging back seven goddamn years written by the Blackest men and women I know. Folks I organize with, folks who've hosted seminars that I've been to, folks that actually have principles and standards that they live by that no peckerwood is going to cudgel them out of.
I pray you get caught up in this guilty country's deserved retribution. On everything I believe in I pray you get caught up in it.
You're the one going to bat for the genocide party. You're the one trying to separate protesting Jim Crow, protesting the draft of Black servicemen, and protesting the literal Democrat-abetted genocide of Palestine; and then trying to liken any and all critique of your queen as to coming from white men, so you tell me, cracker. You're supposed to be smarter than this, ain't you? Can't keep track of a conversation when you're not the one gish-galloping it?
What offends me is the minute you get pushback, that's when the archetypal white liberal "none of you are anything but white" comes out. The collective You HABITUALLY talks over Black and brown voices, and ALWAYS lumps us all together when we all know you're only ever talking about one or the other. I find it offensive that a blatant settler would question anyone else's bonafides regarding identity. I find you offensive.
Now slander my lucidity again, peckerwood. I hope you keep that 'finding being abjectly hated' funny, you're gonna need it over the next couple decades. Your mother should've swallowed you, and further discourse with you is a waste of time.
Your smug naivete only turns people off to whatever cause you think you have. By simply saying these protests won't work, you follow in the footsteps of those who told civil rights leaders that they were too radical and needed a different approach. Your political imagination is too limited to see a better world beyond our current one, so you belittle and shame others who fight for righteous causes because your soul is corrupted by capitalism and you like it. You fight others because genocide has no affect on your calloused, propagandized heart. You care only about being right and care nothing about righteous causes. You are deeply unserious.
Protests ended Jim Crow and helped stop the Vietnam war and highlighted police brutality that finally caused convictions, why not defunding Israel?

Absolutely. I was being general to facilitate a good faith conversation, but that turned out to be pointless.

You believe the two are comparable? Seriously?

I hate when people like you do this. Nothing screams cracker more than condescendingly believing everyone that doesn't think like you is white.
Everything about your posting history screams cracker. You are a fucking sundodger, I can see it in your posts.
Everyone pushing back against you is an actual POC. That's why they don't think like you, because only white people think and act like you.
