Muhammad Ali family was just stopped at an airport because of their last name. All American born with family history going back to the 1600's in the U.S. Trump who's the President said he would like to make stop and frisk. How in the hell is BLM worst than that?
And were murdered for it. What made the civil rights movement(somewhat of) an success was not appealing for fellow white american consciences, it was the U.S looking like giant hypocrites promoting freedoms of the West vs. Communism yet their 2nd largest population group, a population that was in the U.S longer than most other Americas could be killed for not letting a white person have the right of way in traffic. Also by fighting I mean all elements civil rights movement. But now you have an Attorney General who Mrs. King fought against, you have the right fighting to end voter rights, talks about a national Stop and Frisk policy, etc etc.Actually, for the most part blacks didn't fight. Instead they appealed to the consciences of their white fellow Americans, and that was extremely effective.
That's the thing, it doesn't have a long history in the U.S or Britain. The Civil war happen in the U.S. Haiti had to kick France, Britain, and the Spanish ass, etc etc. The awareness was that if the U.S is viewed has hypocrites that most of the world would side with the communist philosophy which would lower the U.S standing on the worlds stage.
See the Cia assassinations in Africa, Caribbean, South America, and wars in Asia. Also most civil right leaders were watched by the FBI and labeled as commies.
Irrelevant. I'm aware that Robert Kennedy had the FBI keep tabs on Dr. King and tap his phone. How does any of that negate that the American Civil Rights leaders wisely and effectively targeted the conscience of the American majority rather than turning to violence to achieve their aims.
If a vote was held to end Jim Crow prior to the Civil rights act, the vote would of lost. The Federal government ended Jim Crow, not the "people". So if it was the leaders of the Civil rights movement only goal was to appeal to the conscience of the white american then they failed. Thankfully that wasn't the only goal.
