That is some article talking about what was going on in the 1860s, and the writer decided to call the (then) legal stuff that the KKK was doing "civil disobedience". That was a very poor choice of words on the writer's part, and totally irrelevant to the way people normally use the term today. It also says that the KKK stepped beyond the author's odd concept of civil disobedience into truly fucked up shit. So you equate civil disobedience to KKK members because of this one thing that I assume you found via Google?PJfanwillneverleave1 said:

The article draws upon facts that civil disobedience runs rampant in kkk.PJ_Soul said:

1860 till now (or at least a pic from 1999 for reference).
Same manner, same tone after all this time.
Civil disobedience - kkk0 -
But you said you equate civil disobedience to KKK members, and were therefore surprised that I support civil disobedience. I.e. Civil disobedience = KKK. That doesn't mean the same as saying the KKK has practiced civil disobedience. Sorry for paying too much attention to what you wrote.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:

Civil disobedience - kkk
Did you read it? It specifies the different manners and tones throughout the decades, almost all of which do not qualify as civil disobedience.
The KKK wear hoods to protect their identity in the committing of crimes, by nearly every definition, civil disobedience requires breaking the law openly and getting arrested for it.
A better use of Google would have been starting with a definition of what civil disobedience is.Post edited by rgambs onMonkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

Most liberals do love civil disobedience, equal rights and living wages, stopping and preventing wars, reigning in the financial maffias...that's what civil disobedience is all about, that's liberalism to a T.
So breaking the law is required for civil disobedience?
And someone states they love civil disobedience......0 -
Duh, yes, civil disobedience is necessarily breaking the law.
I think the fact that you don't fully read posts yet reply to them anyway is showing this afternoon.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

Yes, she did and I do too.
So too should women, black people, native people, and any laborers who make a living wage, because they all owe their rights to those who practiced civil disobedience.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

I'd say your side is conservatives. In the last few years, you guys have been parroting each other, saying that if someone says racism is happening, that the person identifying the racism is being racist themselves and that doing this is making racial tensions worse. It's an interesting form of denial. This gets paired with blind faith in law enforcement in cases of cops abusing their power. I think it has to do with us white guys slowly losing our white privilege, which makes some people afraid of that change.Godfather. said:0 -

also I don't really subscribe to any political party or labels, I've always voiced my opinion on what I believe is best....some disagree I'm sure, it just seems to me that labels and parties are a target for blame and finger pointing, our government has become consumed with it self and doing that they have lost sight for the best interest of the people and when the people become angry they turn on each other and the government uses that as a tool.
