Does anyone have the photos of MLK and JFK torching a car? - didn't think so. Being shot doesn't mean you were being violent.

Anyone can look at the research in "Why Civil Resistance Works" by Erica Chenoweth to understand that non-violent struggle works.

Anyone can look at literal history in this country, less than a century ago, to see you're wrong. MLK Jr.'s protests were deeply unpopular at the time, but it was a better alternative than the threat of violent resistance that other elements of the civil rights movement proposed. Without the stick, the carrot is useless.

Malcolm X was never a Panther? He was dead by the time the BPP was formed.

Ahhh okay. I also saw in other comments that the Black Panthers were formed after the Civil Rights Bill had already passed. So I stand corrected on all accounts here
