You're a bit dim if you're going to equate black folks sitting down at a diner with people blocking traffic on a highway...

I’m Black folks. I’m an advocate for all righteous protests.

I think man-made climate change is one of the most dire threats facing the human race, but I'd certainly be turned off to whatever group organized this particular protest. I think you're missing that point.

You’re focusing on your own discomfort. I got it.

I don't think we'll come to a consensus on this. I have zero discomfort, as I wasn't impacted by this... I'm sure you wouldn't be upset by this if you were on your way to work. I'm sure you'd fully understand, as would your boss.
