"protesting in the streets" won't actually help anything.
MLK didnt just make speeches. he was a hands-on activist. Real activism takes work. Interactions with families. food and clothing drives. Getting to know the community personally.
Not simply climbing on soapboxes (or posting You Tube videos) and making speeches. This is, i think, Jons point. BLM is only effective so long as they walk the walk rather than simply talking to the media and getting press coverage.
Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul
