It’s also very Liberal propaganda.
While of course barely mentioning the Black Panthers and how MLK was suddenly a reasonable alternative to their violent resistance.
The only reason MLK didn't do more was because what they were already doing was illegal, and anything more could get them jail time. And this is still what they thought of him and his "peaceful" protests:
They did the same shit when they pretended that BLM burned down cities. We really don't learn even from our recent history, huh?
Exactly this. The "carrot and stick" strategy doesn't work without the stick. Every time a nonviolent movement achieves something, it's because they were seen as the preferable alternative to a more militant contemporary.
And his "peace" was met with an extreme act of violence. Certainly was an answer for someone(s).
