Wow, Bonsu, the hate you give. I am very thankful that I am not American when such vitriol drips from the lips of an accomplished mind.

Yes, I am what you would label White (and therefore without validity accused of being an immediatte racist, supremist, WASP,) but I have been shot at, thrown from my country, and had family members taken from me because of my color.

But I do not fester and harbor your hate.

If you want to encourage the mind of a fledgling child, or cause, do not smack it and expect it to reform. It will snap back. Bear baiting was abolished long ago. Baiting others with condemnation and overweening hubris will get you no followers.

TRUE followers follow because they believe in a cause, not out of vicious belittling rhetoric.

Turn your worthy pen to encourage and nurture the awakening of the cause.

Martin Luther King Jr. said 'I have a dream' he did not say 'I have a manifesto and you shall submit to my righteous cause.'

He said,

"With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to climb up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day."

Martin Luther King Jr. was a positive force that is why he was followed. Racial Equality is a positive movement for ALL races.

The BLM you speak of, and snarl for, is it a God fearing force of positive equality?

You must ask yourself, just as you ask the vast swaths of 'Whites' you slander and disfigure, if are you a positive force of God fearing racial equality.

A nurturing open palm is superior to a fist of angst.
