You are never, ever, ever going to convince me that it is appropriate (helpful, useful, kind) to openly vilify people who are hurting. When people are literally fighting for their lives, their humanity, their civil rights, putting the focus on how they should be doing that more reasonably, stoically and sensibly will not only fall on deaf ears, it will make the speaker come off like a first class asshole - one who cares about tranquility and the status quo more than they do humanity or justice. Unless you engage with them with some level of empathy and understanding of the depth of their pain, rubbing what you perceive to be their miscalculations in their face and calling them the problem isn't helping anyone - in fact it's making things worse. Do you honestly disagree with that?

Why exactly is that you expect people who are reeling and gut-punched to behave in an entirely calm, reasoned, and optimal way? Is that what you do when you feel threatened on a primal level? Because it that's the case, it indicates that you are most likely a sociopath. I don't believe that you are, but the question of why you expect that from others still remains?

And every single thing that you've presented to me, I've thoroughly and roundly rebutted with the fuller picture, with salient quotes, and with examples — or I’ve repeatedly told you how much I agree. The real question is, why have none of those made any impact on you? You really and truly don't think that Dr. King was widely viewed as an extremist in his day? And that doing things to purposely create a crisis (his words) wasn't a very extreme thing to do? That's some white-washing of the past (pun intended).
