Delusions of Grandeur: Contrasting 'Black Lives Matter' with Past Protest Movements

"Black Lives Matter" protesters and their sympathizers suffer from delusions of grandeur, often comparing their "struggle" on the streets of modern cities to the protest movements of the past. One BLM supporter, Dan Thomas-Cummins, recently responded to my call for the prosecution of the movement's organizers. He compared said organizers to Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, even Jesus Christ.

 

He wrote:

 

Jesus was a criminal in his time and committed acts that violated the laws of the society under which he lived, all in the name of justice and salvation for the undesirable.

 

Oh, Jesus, you say? Well then. Case closed. Let's dial things back a bit, shall we? Rather than scour history for anyone that committed an act of civil disobedience to immediately equate with BLM, let's pause to consider a vital question. Is civil disobedience always moral? That's the implication when citing any given dissident as BLM's patron saint.
