"Withers was a rat!" Plain and simple, right? If your friend was informing on you to the FBI, would you carve out some exception for his behavior?The Detectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549329661157387943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717391956014930517.post-18559017015450806382010-10-14T17:30:31.509-07:002010-10-14T17:30:31.509-07:00This blog is so interesting! Personally, I believe...This blog is so interesting! Personally, I believe that the thing that destroyed black communities the most was the division within those communities. How could African Americans expect to achieve anything when half of the leadership were selling themselves out? Did they not realize that by being "informants" and betraying their own race, they would eventually be thrown aside themselves? Yes, I agree that Withers was wrong, but I also think that this is a problem, not an issue. Still today, African Americans don't seem to know how to be successful and acclamated into a society run by white privilege without being labeled as the "out group." Just like the old woman who agreed to sit on the patio, it never leads to good and it never results in progression. After all, the FBI wouldn't have a means by which to gather this information if it weren't for Black people...Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884775610862792377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717391956014930517.post-23475008964689488692010-10-11T21:11:06.280-07:002010-10-11T21:11:06.280-07:00This is a very interesting topic. With you and Car...This is a very interesting topic. With you and Carolyn's opinion on it, (read it, it was in Sept.). I still stand strong on my opinion on him building trust with the FBI in order to gain some form of leverage or protection with them. In other words, while his actions may seen wrong, I still believe he did it with good intentions!thatguydarshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871593983058038637noreply@blogger.com
