Democratic Rep. John Lewis said Thursday he sometimes feels like taking a bullwhip to people in order to make them care about civil rights.
It doesnt matter whether theyre black, or white, Latino, Asian-American or Native American. When you see something thats not right, not fair, not just, you have an obligation to do something, to say something. Theyre just too darn quiet. I really wanna use some other words sometimes, Lewis told the audience of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Town Hall on Civil Rights in Washington, D.C.

I believe in the philosophy and the discipline of nonviolence, but sometimes I feel like taking a bullwhip and just saying to people, You get your butt up. You go out there and do what you must do,' the Georgia congressman continued.
Lewis added that young people must become fighters and warriors for the cause of civil rights.
Activists just need to be radical and extreme in order to fight racism in the United States, Lewis opined.
Aren’t whips racist?
I want his butt to meet my steel toed boot
Heap on more abuse so we will agree with you. </sarc>
“Old slavery” is gone. But Ds are hell-bent on a “do as the master says or you get the whip” society. First time I’ve heard them mention a literal whip, but not surprising.
Funny how he claims he fought against Racism and the KKK, then immediately after MLK jr was killed HE JOINED THEM!!
Okay. He can bring his bull whip. I’ll have my 1911. Let’s do this. Someone hold my beer?
Rep. John Lewis Wants To Take A Bullwhip To People So They Care About Civil Rights
I am a woman, and I am feeling triggered by this image of an ugly old man hitting me with a whip. Where is my safe space?
I wonder if he understands how many TRILLIONS of rounds we have stored up?
Help! Help! I’ve been triggered by the mention of bullwhip.
Heap on more abuse so we will agree with you. </sarc>

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Today’s classic example of another insane lib off it’s meds.
That POS has absolutely no business being in Congress.
He represent no one but himself.
He should move to Zimbabwe or some other crap hole that is more in line with what he believes in.
John Lewis is left wing as can be. I personally can't stand him. But he would never advocate violence.
To be fair, in the context of what he said, he is talking about using a bullwhip on people who he thinks agree with him but are too lazy to get off their butts and get involved.
If he wants to take a bullwhip to people he thinks agree with him but are lazy, I don’t see a problem with that. Perhaps those lethargic, brains-of-mush bleeding heart liberals he uses the whip on might get the idea that perhaps the malediction of “nazi” might fit people like this douchebag and other liberal Democrats better than it fits conservatives.
But his talk about making them radicals and warriors is more of an issue with me.
You’d better go back and read the article again.
> Arent whips racist? <
You are overthinking the issue. It really is this simple:
1. Everything a white person does - or thinks - is racist.
2. Nothing a non-white person does - or thinks - is racist.
In all seriousness, we are now at the start of a dangerous era in our country. Civil debate is no longer possible. The left has seen to that. One must either completely agree with the left, or be shouted down.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Arbeit macht frei. And other forms of motivation will surely change hearts and minds.
This worked so well in concentration camps.
What more do they want? We aren’t living in the fifties. All segregation today is by minorities who want to live apart. Their broken record bleating Andy yammering about “civil rights” is so damn tiresome and wearying. But they never give any concrete examples other than the bald-faced lie that it’s open season by cops to shoot blacks. Heather Mac Donald has published the truth about that pernicious lie: “The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe”
I don’t believe he’s talking about “us”, he want’s to whip his own supporters.
