It's an impressive accomplishment and obviously kind of a marvel that this is what he feels called to do. Only respect for the man and his activism.<p>But I hate the tone that often emerges when this is brought up or referenced, especially common since 2020. As if Davis's approach is the <i>correct</i> way for black people to address the racism of white people, contrasted against the "wrong" ways like BLM protests and organized direct action.<p>The man put himself in significant danger over many years. For impressive and personally meaningful but ultimately very small scale victories. That can't be the standard we expect from black activists. <i>White racism is a problem white people are obligated to solve</i>. If you are are white it is <i>your</i> role to be doing this, don't make a black man do it for you.
