Campus Protests Are Called Disruptive. So Was the Civil Rights Movement [View all] WhiskeyGrinder May 10 OP

Civil rights movement was for INCLUSION. yagotme May 10 #1

Yes, there's so much desperation to equate the two when they are nothing alike. BannonsLiver May 10 #5

Yeah, 'nothing alike'. The civil rights movement wanted our citizens to have their rights, DemocraticPatriot May 11 #102

"...nothing alike..." Are you sure? yagotme May 13 #115

Correct Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin May 10 #20

Wrong on every count Doc Sportello May 10 #31

How am I wrong? yagotme May 10 #37

It's actually very offending to compare the two jimfields33 May 10 #51

I didn't consider the word "offended", but it sure seems to apply. nt yagotme May 10 #54

But in Gaza, Palestinian civilians, women and children are treated as 'collateral damage' DemocraticPatriot May 11 #104

Being used as human shields, and being killed by Hamas directly. yagotme May 13 #116

Israel will buster bomb a whole block of kids & families womanofthehills May 14 #149

Israel HAS given warnings before attacks. Hamas has not. yagotme May 14 #150

How do you know what MLK would say if he were alive today? yardwork May 10 #66

I came here to post that exact point! yardwork May 10 #65

The protests are not about demonizing Jews malaise May 10 #93

This message was self-deleted by its author debm55 May 10 #97

It is now 'fashionable' to oppose death by bombing of thousands of women and children DemocraticPatriot May 11 #105

"The protests are not about demonizing Jews" yagotme May 13 #117

Whether intentional or not. It is now- attacking American Jews even kids. It is a bad scene and helps no one. Demsrule86 May 13 #127

Excellent Point.. there's No comparison between Rosa Cha May 10 #82

Rosa Parks was arrested, NOT KILLED--- DemocraticPatriot May 11 #106

How about those shouting/posting signs and banners "Intifada". Are they wrong? yagotme May 13 #118

The Gaza protests ARE for 'inclusion'--- inclusion with the LIVING, DemocraticPatriot May 11 #103

Then they need to go protest the Hamas government. In Gaza. yagotme May 13 #119

No way are they are the same. No way at all. debm55 May 10 #2

Help me out here. RandySF May 10 #3

Glad to help. H2O Man May 10 #6

You nailed it malaise May 11 #112

Yeah!... Think. Again. May 10 #8

Would you equate denying Jewish students entry to campus facilities with Ms. Park's not getting out of her seat? RandySF May 10 #11

First of all... Think. Again. May 10 #12

They also denied Jewish students access to certain areas. yagotme May 10 #25

Rosa Parks did not deny anyone a seat Mossfern May 10 #30

I know.. Shocking. Cha May 10 #77

If refusing to vacate a seat so other (white) passengers could use it... Think. Again. May 10 #87

As a passenger she took up ONE seat. Dr. Strange May 11 #98

She didn't deny anyone a seat...I suggest you check google. She merely refused to give up her seat. Demsrule86 May 10 #85

If refusing to vacate a seat so other (white) passengers could use it... Think. Again. May 10 #88

If you can't see the diference, I can't help you. And that was an Amercan protest for our civil rights. Demsrule86 May 13 #120

I didn't ask for your help. Think. Again. May 13 #122

You really want to die on this hill? It is OK to call little kids baby killers at an American school. That is OK? Demsrule86 May 13 #125

You're the one who can't seem to move on. Think. Again. May 13 #126

Yeah, she denied a seat to all those white guys, and threatened and assaulted them when they tried yagotme May 10 #40

Did you happen to see... Think. Again. May 10 #41

Yes, I did. yagotme May 10 #44

If refusing to vacate a seat so other (white) passengers could use it... Think. Again. May 10 #50

The seat she was required to "give up" was in the "black" section. yagotme May 10 #53

I rest my case. Think. Again. May 10 #55

So, Rosa Parks is similar to terrorist-supporting, Jew-hating individuals denying Jews access yagotme May 10 #56

I wasn't comparing Ms. Parks to the provocatuers. Think. Again. May 10 #70

From your post #12: yagotme May 13 #114

And as is clear in my post... Think. Again. May 13 #121

You initially compared her to the protestors. yagotme May 13 #128

You don't understand how discussions work, do you? Think. Again. May 13 #130

Perfectly. yagotme May 13 #132

Instigators, provocateurs, chaos agents, etc... Think. Again. May 13 #138

Yes, they are, when they are imbedded with the protestors. yagotme May 14 #139

They are not protesters. Think. Again. May 14 #141

YOU say that. yagotme May 14 #142

Protesters are the people who are protesting... Think. Again. May 14 #143

The people that are there to not protest are protesting to cover the fact that they are not there to not protest. yagotme May 14 #144

And they are not protesters. Think. Again. May 14 #145

While they are protesting. nt yagotme May 14 #146

Protesters protest, people faking protesting are not protesters. Think. Again. May 14 #147

Stop? You're making the assertion that individuals standing with protestors, yagotme May 14 #148

It is not the same-now if she stood by door and wouldn't LET white men in at all...that is what we have here. And these Demsrule86 May 13 #123

I respect your anti-first amendment position... Think. Again. May 13 #124

That is fine. I don't want to see right wing assholes emboldened by antisemitic bullshit from these protests. Demsrule86 May 13 #129

My belief is that it is... Think. Again. May 13 #131

Exactly. The civil rights protests also weren't about Nixie May 10 #10

Recommended. H2O Man May 10 #4

All protests are disruptive. That's their nature. MineralMan May 10 #24

Thank you. nevergiveup May 10 #38

Anti war protests were because the US was involved in the war Mossfern May 10 #32

Depends on how H2O Man May 10 #49

And what did they really accomplish? Nixone was elected twice. The war continued. Demsrule86 May 10 #86

The direct involvement by US troops would have continued for a lot longer, DemocraticPatriot May 11 #107

We send huge sums of money and weapons to Israel Sky Jewels May 11 #101

Again, not the same. Mossfern May 11 #110

Ludicrous comparisons. It just shows the desperation. Nixie May 10 #7

Agree with you Nixie. Many of the marchers died or were badly beaten for equal rights. This right now is like cosplay. debm55 May 10 #28

Rec'd! Mossfern May 10 #33

Thx, Deb, and you nailed it with "how dare they" compare Nixie May 10 #95

And a lot of Jews marched for egual rights beside their African American brothers and sisters. And some died for that debm55 May 10 #64

Trucker blockades were call disruptive too. Mountainguy May 10 #9

You do understand that... Think. Again. May 10 #13

We're discussing tactics Sympthsical May 10 #15

No, Mountainguy and I were discussing... Think. Again. May 10 #16

Well, we see people protesting against Jews in America Sympthsical May 10 #19

No, Jews in America, as a whole, are definitely not oppressing anyone, that I am aware of. Think. Again. May 10 #27

Wrong sarisataka May 10 #26

No, the protests are based on the university's refusals to divest from Israel financially. Think. Again. May 10 #29

Here- sarisataka May 10 #43

Those demands were made after the initial protests were formed... Think. Again. May 10 #48

I can only lead you to the water sarisataka May 10 #57

How gracious of you. Think. Again. May 10 #71

Looking back to where the goalposts started sarisataka May 10 #76

This is all far more Louis Farrakhan than MLK Sympthsical May 10 #14

The antisemitism checks out... AZSkiffyGeek May 10 #52

Where did the Civil Rights movement disrupt institutions that weren't engaged in denying civil rights? brooklynite May 10 #17

The universities ARE engaged in denying civil rights by... Think. Again. May 10 #18

No they're not Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin May 10 #21

So, the universities are at fault because they allow Jewish students to attend classes there? yagotme May 10 #23

You are correct, surely that is not what I mean. Think. Again. May 10 #34

"Drawing attention to", and shutting down access, denying entry to a certain group, etc. yagotme May 10 #42

We might have come full-circle back to... Think. Again. May 10 #45

I did not reference any of those. yagotme May 10 #47

Not to be snarky. But it is spelled Israel.not Isreal. debm55 May 10 #35

Thank you, I try to be as typo-free as possible but it doesn't really seem... Think. Again. May 10 #39

"The universities ARE engaged in denying civil rights by their refusal to divest in Israel." Jedi Guy May 10 #59

Being murdered is the ultimate denial of civil rights.... Think. Again. May 10 #73

Universities aren't murdering anyone, though, unless I missed a really big news story. That was what you said. Jedi Guy May 10 #79

um, okay. Think. Again. May 10 #80

So, anyone who is invested in an Israeli company is actively engaged in denying civil rights? Patton French May 10 #60

Financial support of entities denying civil rights can imply culpability, yes. Think. Again. May 10 #74

Can you expand on that? maxsolomon May 10 #62

You might have notice that... Think. Again. May 10 #75

I'd have to be blind not to notice that. maxsolomon May 10 #78
