America is going to change now. No longer a question; it’s a certitude. Our choices are violent change or peaceful change. We know what violent change looks like & it’s horrifying. Peaceful change begins w/ radical truth telling, & atonement that gets to the heart of things. NOW.

Can you point to a place in American history where peaceful protest resulted in real change?
The women’s suffragette movement and the civil rights movement!

Both had their violent elements as well. If you look at American history it is always a mix of both that has brought change. Not advocating for violence just pointing out the history.

I think this is kinda more truthful.

I thought about that, but the women's suffragette movement was piggybacking on black men voting. I am not sure I would qualify it as totally peaceful. Civil rights real change came with uprisings. Legislative change has to come with the ability to enforce the change.

Things only changed substantially when MLK was shot, when women threw themselves in front of horses.

The suffragette movement partially succeeded because the women’s vote was considered a political move to further keep black people out of power, racism won the women’s right to vote
