@FeralRobots@mastodon.social @breiter There is no phrasing that will make racists happy. It's a fool's errand to try. Martin Luther King couldn't find it. "Nonviolent protest" and "civil disobedience" were hated terms in their time. "Black Lives Matter" is apparently a bad term. "Hands up, don't shoot" is also bad. "Defund the police" is terrible. When you find a framing that works for racists, let me know. Might win you a Nobel peace prize! Because even the peace prize winners couldn't figure it out.🤷🏿‍♂️
