Narrative matters, and anybody with more than a cursory knowledge of history would know this. The civil rights movement was a success precisely because MLK and others were able to change the narrative. Some whites were moved by images of white officers siccing dogs on non-violent protesters and white supremacists firebombing churches.
That said, saying that narrative matters is not to say that it is the only thing that matters.

Case and point:
not_osirus_jenkins;9190517 said:15 million black people in america
1.5 million cops
Y'all do the math
100k men could bring america to its knees.
Really, my nigga? You think it's that simple. You have one group that is notoriously unified, has basically been militarized, and is full of people that are trained and equipped for combat.
On the other side, you have a group that outnumbers the other group by a factor of 10 (by your numbers), however, what does that number look like when you take away the children, elderly, and disabled. How many of the people left are willing to go to war? How many of the people left have the training or capabilities to go to war? How does the math look when you factor that in?
All of that's irrelevant though? Do you really think that niggas could just declare war on the cops, and all we'd have to worry about would be the cops? How long do you think this war would go before the National Guard and other domestically based military units were brought in to shut shit down. Ya'll niggas aren't thinking rationally. Blacks make up less than 13% of this country, and almost all of those people are integrated into the system in a way that such a war would be just as destructive to that community as to the rest of the country.
Violence may be necessary to solve this issue, but it will only be effective if it's in defense of the people and the people's interests. These ambushes are cowardly and ultimately they will be totally ineffective. The only thing they will succeed in doing is turn the sentiment of most of the country completely in the direction of the enemy. How long do you think it will be before black men are getting killed and most everybody in this country think its justified because we have officially been targeted as a threat?
Im not gonna knock your point cuz it's valid. But I know what happens when a group of like minded individuals got 1 goal in mind. 100 attacks a day won't change anything? 24 hour news coverage won't change anything? You know what happens when they institute martial law? They step on other people's toes that don have anything to do with this. Go and tell those Texas they have to give up there guns cuz the blacks are out of control. Watch the response. Go to Bama and Georgia and west va and South Cac and tell them give up your guns or go to jail. This is bigger than just black people in america. It's about rights in america. And impeding any right to any American whether it's for the better or not will always bring trouble. Bu then again, maybe that's just the way I see it. Maybe those gun nuts will gladly give up some rights and their guns. Maybe Americans aren't as american as they think they are.
I feel what you're saying, but I think you're misjudging the situation. You're basically relying on the idea that blacks going on the offensive would somehow draw a certain element to our side. You're not really considering who that element is. Those CaCs in Bama, Georgia, and SC are far more likely to pick up their guns and deal with the "Black Problem" themselves than to wait on marial law. For example, this was taken from the Baton Rouge thread:

The problem Americans are American, and Americans have always been stupid and easily led to attack each other rather than the people who are really oppressing them.
Could go either way. Not saying they are allies. But a violation of a person's rights pushes some of those people into a corner. Either way it looks bad on america. Instead of fixing a corrupt system they pushed a part of their nation to the point where they hate cops more than fear them. Instead of building bridges and coming up with solutions they'd rather demonize an entire group of people. Put that on the world stage and watch the chaos that unfolds.
That's America for you. There is a lot less money to be made in peace than drama, so which way do you think a country that prioritizes money above everything else will go? Sad, but sadder that the average American still doesn't see the centuries old trick that's being played.

You seem a little deranged, but the civil rights movement was a success. Read some history books about what life was like before the civil rights movement.
Also, you're a dumbass if you can read my posts day in, day out and think that I am white.

Idiots worried about "narrative change" don't see the bigger picture, nigga what narrative? The one of oh they were criminals anyway so they deserve to die, that one?
Some mfs lack empathy, the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes and feel for them even when that person is unlike you. Mfs like that only understand shit when it happens to them. They need to have it in the back of their heads like "shit I better not be so trigger happy cuz these niggers are fed up and might come for my ass." And they don't know when or where that shit is gonna happen. This might be the only effective check on their behaviour, cuz asking nicely and marching peacefully sure don't seem to be working. I mean they fear us already anyway
First and foremost i am indifferent to these chicken coming home to roost.
However the narrative matters because it can and will get worse for US... thats my concern of the negative effects of whats happening towards US.. If a change of narrative didnt extend pass someones feelings then who cares but thats not the case.. it doesnt stop there
Worse than what? We face every kind of discrimination and oppression right now! From environmental to economic racism, that shit runs the gamut. They kill us unarmed with impunity, how much worse can it get? You niggas afraid they'll reinstate slavery. Oh wait I forgot, we have that too thru the prison industrial complex
Do you understand that their entire white privilege and identity is predicated on having zero empathy. They will never get it or change until you force them to have it. When they experience the shit enough then they will finally be like damn, this is fucked up, it will never happen before that, and all black people need to know this as fact
Oh I absolutely can get worse
Aren't you in Canada btw?
I live in Detroit and am married to a black man, I'm not less in this shit cuz I'm from Canada. My point is, they do whatever they want right now already, us being passive is not keeping anything at bay. If they aren't doing certain things like martial law is more because they are worried about global perception, not because we're being good lil niggers that don't fight back and just march peacefully.
Not saying we need to stop doing that too, but when the chickens come home to roost, they just have to deal with it, they don't get to return the chickens. Thru the hardship, they just might learn some empathy.
well you are a muslim too and you hate america :'(
I'm an existentialist actually, nice try tho. Look at whitey coming in here throwing around labels. I bet you don't know one Muslim person either. And just like you crackas always talking about where are the peaceful Muslims whenever there is a terrorist attack, where are all the white people and good cops when an innocent black person is murdered. Or is it that you only want sympathy for y'all plight while actively oppressing everyone else? You white people are completely blind to the level of arrogance and entitlement you have, don't worry tho we see you
why do you hate me so much you somalian pirate? :'(
