I just don't get where he's thinking I'm suggesting whites should not have protested. His comment just makes no sense.

When somebody is throwing a tantrum over something, and someone says: "Remember that time something similar happened? Nobody threw a tantrum back then!" the subtext is usually "And so you shouldn't be throwing a tantrum now" not "We should have thrown a tantrum back then, too".

For a long time that's exactly what people would have meant when posting something like this.

Whites snapping out of their conditioned complacency and embracing the idea that violence is a valid problem solving tool is a rather new and exciting development. I think the misunderstanding is understandable, no?
