@VicGolfChad Psst: MLK supported LGBT rights.
Did the segregationists go through a period, like in the 1970s, where they whined that people were mean to them for being segregationists?

@VicGolfChad For starters, his wife said he would have supported LGBT ppl. She was an ardent LGBT rights supporter. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2006-01-31-letters-king_x.htm … -

@jbarro Look into Jimmy Carter's early career, it's an interesting case study of this exact question. -
@DavidKlion interesting. anything in particular I should read? -
@jbarro Nothing in particular, just that he was pro-Civil Rights but ran against busing in the 60s. It was a transitional time for GA Dems. -
@jbarro And in 1970 (going off Wikipedia here) he went after the "Wallace vote" and trashed MLK a bit. That was GA politics at the time.

@jbarro@samwilkinson Revocation of capitalized privileges is an injustice. All reform is a fail. Burke's Law holds. -

@samwilkinson@jbarro Yeah. I want to redeem the oppressor while rescuing the victim. Otherwise transitional gains traps block *any* reform - View other replies

@NathanaelDSnow@jbarro There is no redemption for these oppressors save making a change they're unwilling to even consider. -
@samwilkinson The way to redeem them is by offering to compensate them to give up their privilege out of my own pocket. -
@NathanaelDSnow That's a neat way to ensure that these particular folks win either way. -
@samwilkinson it is the only way to end a cycle of violence. -
@NathanaelDSnow All of the violence flows in one direction and your proposal rewards it. - Show more
