The president and doubtless other wise and influential heads have counseled them to think big but go gradual, to not embarrass the president and his crew by demanding too much too soon. This is not the kind of self-serving advice that you ignore. Its the kind you listen to carefully, and do the exact opposite of. If movement activists follow the presidents advice theyll waste the fleeting opportunity that media coverage allows them to advance their own demands, and without taking those demands a step further in the direction opposite the one Obama and his crew want, the movement may find it difficult to continue to grow. The president, the Congressional Black Caucus, big city mayors and other liberal authoritarians are old players at an old game. They desperately need movement leaders to AVOID game-changing demands. Theyre Democrats, utterly dependent on votes from the overpoliced and terrorized communities. So while the fascist cops work for them, and they have little intention of cracking down on police murder and brutality beyond the cosmetic and convenient, they need to appear to be “listening” to the pain of communities suffering under their police and prison state. Their remedies, as always will be community policing, more training, and more talk, to show that they are indeed listening. Their aim is to channel back whatever activism exists into the safe channels of establish Democrat politics.
