The contradiction diminishes the obligation- the point is we CANT do them all as you suggest cuz some of them contradict others. I never said all Black people but certainly more Black people have died for the cause of resistance than voting.

I never made that claim- I only represented that some people have such reasoning and to that you claimed they werent valid to you- now you've changed your mind.
