A. You're responding to someone else.
B. Ah yes, the meatgrinder tactic, notable for it's effectiveness when used by the minority group within a conflict. How strategic and clever you are /s
A. Then ignore it if it's not your words.
B. In this discussion, you were being highly amusing by concentrating on a quibble over why MLK did what he did.
You didn't once mention Frederick Douglas, probably because as an ex-slave working for a politician who couldn't promise emancipation he's much closer to the actual meat of the argument.
So, go nuts. Explain why Frederick Douglas was disgusting for helping Lincoln instead of a sure to lose abolition candidate.
I didn't mention Frederick Douglas because I know who I'm replying to and how to stay on topic.
And I know who I am responding to.
It was funny watching you tie yourself in knots, and satisfying to see you admit that you have nothing useful to say.
Now that you've exhausted yourself, I'll leave.
I was kinda hoping you'd find a way to pretend you'd been more oppressed than Douglas, but I guess even you have some selfawareness.
