I dunno, I could see it happening.  Old white women are some of the most idiotic and vindictive people on the planet, from my experience.

Who's "they", UP? Random internet tough guy SJW? Troll? A mentally ill radflake? Hopefully you aren't meaning "they" as in the huge plural of all the people who are kvetching about Beach Body adverts as being a serious terrorist threat. It's a stupid, unimaginative, old-school "sex sells" type of ad, it's a stupid social media over-blown reaction to the stupid ad. Some sick piece of shit saw the hashtag and decided to one-up everybody else by sending in a bomb threat. SJW Napolean complex, perhaps. Who knows, maybe the company owner is loving every second of it all, especially the bomb threat, because this avalanche of intense publicity is worth 1000 times the cost of the original stupid ad campaign. No such thing as bad publicity when it comes to product recognition value, unless the product is being recalled for defects. I bet his sales are through the roof right now.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

And here's Salon saying the Baltimore riots are okay:

The kicker?  The horrible things they're implying about African-Americans.  Calling violence "black political strategy" feels incredibly racist to me - as if the only way a black person can ever spread a message is through violence.

Can you give more criticism of the writers opinion besides "they're the real racist!"

Edit:seriously, could you give me some reasons why you dislike what the article said?
It was not saying that "black people can only spread a message though violence" it was saying nonviolence only works when people are paying attention.
And no, I don't fully agree with the article.

Welp, time to go resurrect Malcolm X and tell him that violence isn't a legitimate strategy.

You mean the violence he abandoned?  I must remind you that after his Hajj, he started preaching "ballots before bullets".

And pray tell, what exactly did militant African-American groups actually accomplish?

Besides, this isn't political violence.  This is just mayhem and carnage.  The rioters destroyed a CVS and a nursing home.  Furthermore, the vast majority of the protesters are peaceful.

To go even further, a lot of the protesters actually shouted down and otherwise stopped, or tried to stop,  the rioters.

That's right.

Furthermore, I did some research, and I found out that MLK was taken out of context:

I am fully aware of what the quotes meant. MLK was saying that people turn to riots because they feel that no one is listening to them.


The reason I used the quote for the duck was because I was sarcastically answering the ducks question.

Whether or not Malcolm X abandoned violence as a strategy is irrelevant. Violence IS a strategy. One that has varying levels of effectiveness depending on the situation, like any strategy. Should it be the go-to strategy? I for one don't think so, but that doesn't matter because it's still a strategy.

So like so many of my points, it went right over your head.

That ^ right there, I can understand and condone. That van is a legitimate target for rage. Many people besides Grey have died or been crippled from taking a "rough ride" in BPD paddy wagons over the decades. Burning and looting neighborhood businesses is off the chain bullshit. The old folks home arson was completely heinous. Poking holes in the fire hoses was a special kind of chicken shit.
