Pressuring people to “speak out”

Was watching cnn last night and there was a lot of talk of the need for people to “speak out.” What exactly are people supposed to be speaking out about? Doesn’t everyone agree that it was wrong what happened to George Floyd? I feel like what they mean is that people should speak out and say they are responsible for George Floyd’s death because of their contribution to white supremacy (whether it be covert/overt, conscious/unconscious). Why should people apologize for things that they had nothing to do with? It’s dishonest and fake.

So if they go off message they can cancel them on social media.

I’ve taken this time to speak about the suffering and pain that has been inflicted on the micropenis community. It’s time to end the abuse #sizedoesn’tmatter

This is so ridiculous. Man, I don't wanna be superior or supreme to anybody. I'm just trying to make ends meet, be a good husband and father, and mostly be left alone. I just wanna sit on my couch in my underwear and eat junk food and watch old-school rasslin', most days. If I'm keeping you down, you need to try harder.

Wasn't there a push a few years ago to silence straight, white male voices on topics such as race, sexuality, and women's issues?

Drew Brees gave his opinion about the national anthem and what it means to him. Then, LeBron James felt the need to “speak out” about what Drew said.
Why the hell can’t he or any of us have our own opinion without every idiot speaking about how we’re wrong or telling us what we need to think?

"Speak out" in this case means say what we want to hear

Hate your white race and shite on your country.

OP—If you have the time/chance, read this book to help you understand the mindset of Communists—which I believe is the bigger problem/end game than the racial issues. (Ironic that LeBron James came up in this thread.)

Pressuring people to “speak out”
We are entering the world of thought crimes and iron fist censorship. It needs to be fought tooth and nail or we will perish.
America was built on free speech and limited government. We are the most unique country in the world in that aspect. The Bill of Rights is taken so much for granted by an ignorant youth they almost don’t deserve its protections.
The federal government for a long time but especially since 2001 has been gathering power back to itself and we have all been complicit in allowing it to do so.
We have been trading freedom for a false sense of security and a misplaced notion of social justice.
This push now is the hungry powers attempting to gobble up the last barrier to total control: freedom of speech and free exchange of ideas. And our poor pathetic citizenry is not only happy about they’re advocating for it.
We’re losing the ability to think for ourselves and think critically. And it’s being actively and purposefully diminished.
Read a quick headline, see an out of context quote, make a decision on someone or some issue based on nothing but those few words and never question or look into the matter again.
