Of course our hearts can and should beat for black freedom fighters, or such fighters of any and all colors! Where did I ever say redemption has to come in a white skin?! What things are you reading into my words which certainly never entered my mind?!
As it happens, I do hear you about what we need to understand and I don’t disagree. And the only reason I don’t make that agreement stronger is because I feel I don’t know enough to do so. However, I can and do at least concur.
My point comes from things I remember from decades past and a desire to prevent our side from relapsing into such counter-productive rot such as Europeans and whites generally are uniquely and hereditarily racist and bigoted. That did our common cause no good at all during the 70s and 80s.
I don’t want to see a repeat of that disaster.
