No questions. Thank you for illustrating how minorities are so oppressed that they are forced to support any power and not bother their masters just for a slim chance of not being totally wiped out.
How about now we stop and organise? I don’t like the taste of boots.
So, in your mind escaped slave Frederick Douglas was a bootlicker?
Bayard Ruskin? WW2 partisans?
Please make your explanation as elaborate as possible.
Do you know the meaning of “forced”? I put it in bold :(
If I put a gun at your head I kindly ask you to choose between licking my boot or die, are you a bootlicker?
What do you mean you don’t have a choice? Dying is a choice. Try to be more grateful.

Those folks were organizing, you are the one trying to insult them by implying they weren't.
And if you think I misunderstood what you wrote you could be humble and accept it and delete your comment. You could accept the idea that you didn't write clearly. I mean, you did misspell 'organise.' Maybe you made some other mistakes? Isn't that possible?
So no, you don’t know what forced means ok. It means there are no choices, zero, nada.
I’m not insulting them, I’m pointing out that a choice between dying and obedience is NOT a choice and it CAN NOT be used to prove how compromising with fascists works. It doesn’t and they weren’t, they were forced to comply.
Organise is british. I know many british words like “wanker”, “cunt” or “arsehole”. Maybe you misplaced your manners? Isn’t that possible?
Right to insult like 'wanker?'
Great way to build a strong organization.
So more than a hundred years later, free US citizens are no better in terms of options and opportunities than a runaway slave?
So you think cooperation is bad and everyone should organize on their own?
No wonder why the left is so fractured
There's pretty clearly a big difference between saying we cannot ally with the DNC and must organize outside of that, vs saying cooperation itself is bad and we should organize on our own.
Cooperation with the enemy in a war against the enemy... is bad.
