What do you think of this guy's social justice campaign?
Do you find his personal example threatening or intimidating?

Nice prezi.

Are you talking about the picture of the person standing there? I'm not sure why that would be intimidating. If that is a serious attitude then we are in deep trouble.

I think he made some good statements on race relations and attitudes on college campuses, and how interactions should go between police and young black men suspected of crimes.
A rather pointed campaign of social justice

Controversy of telling ppl to not look threatening or intimidating, while making the point: "I feel like instead of teaching people how to act around police, there should be some form of sensitivity training for law enforcement."

He might discuss that in his class as well. Dunno.

Well thanks to his fine example of dropping his knife and surrendering to police, he might be able to discuss that in some of his prison rehabilitation classes, though there's a good chance he'll get a life sentence so it will mostly go to the benefit of other inmates

Maybe I'm missing something, but that presentation seemed very basic.

Expecting her to do the right thing is another thing. Stevie Wonder could of seen going into Libya would have disastrous consequences but Hillary with her grasp of policy couldn't see it.

How would you have resolved the Libyan civil war? Pull a Russia and support the strongman while he butchers his own people?

The rebellion would of died off pretty quickly, instead the west intervened, the Gulf scumbags, as always funded some Islamic fundamentalists and the rest is history. Libya is a failed state, Al-Qaeda & ISIS have a strong presence there now, almost all the migrants streaming from Africa come thru Libya, human trafficking, weapons trafficking, hub for Islamists of all stripes with a direct route to Europe. Most people there would probably give an arm and a leg to go back to the pre war days. Yeah you might of been somewhat oppressed, at least you had a home, lively hood and your relatives were alive.

Our version of spreading freedom & democracy actually means turning countries into failed states.
