Yeah, no shit, turning a peaceful protest into a full-blown riot is wrong and ultimately self-defeating, and non-violent means of protest are far better at effecting change and keeping the optics of your movement good in the long run. Doesn’t mean the protesters didn’t have a damn good point about how raw a deal they’ve been getting. You don’t want riots? Listen to what they have to say and try and address their grievances (assuming, of course, that said grievances actually hold up to scrutiny.)
Jesus Fuck, why is this speech still relevant half a century after MLK bought it?
No shit.
Back in the 50s 60s and even the 70s, cops would show up to a domestic dispute, and the partner would not file charges out of fear, then later the same cops show up to a murder, and the victim gets sentenced to life.
You can't simply look at MLK as a white person, and say, "Be like him" and then condemn Malcom X without understanding both.

Repeating that you are an ABBA fan, as if that's a rare thing, makes you a cunt. Try to keep up.
Yes, you got me, I was one of the right wing insurrectionists who stormed the Capital because not everyone likes ABBA.
