Right, a white man, showing videos of other white men telling black men why they should just behave politely whilst they are murdered. "Just go to the back of the bus and sit down." Also, nice job conflating rioting and looting. King was a fool and he died for his stupidity. Hundreds of years of oppression did not stop because of his rhetoric, but it did diminish with the rioting that followed his death. The only mistake is to take the police on head to head where they are strongest. Tactically (and hypotetically) when black people learn from the IRA, then, and only then will they finally accomplish lasting change. Looting is despicable and counter productive. Enacting massive damage against their property and infrastructure isis not. Who cares if white viewers approve? When did their opinions help black people by and large? Only when whites are as afraid of blacks, as blacks have to be of them, will they sit down and figure out how to ensure fair treatment for all.
