    Honestly, much love to the ancestors who paved our way; but I stand on the assertion that the likes of Dr. King and other non-violent activists fucked us all up giving the peckerwoods an ‘idealistically higher’ option to cudgel us with. I don’t doubt they’d have come up with a way to get to the same old horseshoe horseshit “just as bad” nonsense-- but the deliberately-half taught beliefs of Dr. King and nem (because they NEVER teach about the whole “that dream I had, has in many ways become a nightmare” quote, or how he was getting closer in ideology to Ture, and Seale, and el-Shabazz before the government had him murdered) allows these crackers to feel so morally superior when they stare down their nose and hem and haw about how “absolutely evil directly fighting back against one’s oppressor is”.

      That’s a fact. I also know that a lot of our people tend to be religious and that plays a factor in the whole “nonviolent” tactic. I don’t like the idea of the tragic martyr, that the oppressors will grow a heart and that’s how we can “earn” our freedom. If they had a heart they wouldn’t have dehumanized and enslaved us in the first place
