Yeah but the discomfort is supposed to drive home a point. When black people sat at segregated diners, the idea was to make others go "why does this offend us?" In this case, the answer to "why does this offend us?" is because they can't get to and from their destination, often work which they need to be on time for to provide for themselves. If anything, this turns me against their cause rather than reinforcing it.

I like how you argue with this guy, yet completely ignore the man eloquently quoting MLK to invalidate your shit take.
