Peaceful protests have literally never solved anything of significance. Perhaps I’m ignorant to something, but if there has ever been a nationwide peaceful protest that has accomplished something, I’d love to hear it. I’d love to hear stories from non US nations as well if there are stories there.
MLK was certainly preferable for the government. Malcolm was murdered by the NOI though. I would’ve expected the government to have killed him by that point, no idea why he wasn’t. Violence would’ve been reasonable. Killing Strom Thurmond could’ve only turned out well.

You never learned about the Civil Rights Movement? That was pretty fucking significant.
You think that the civil right movement was peaceful?
Well, that was mostly peaceful. Well, the MLK Jr. era part. Those worked because democrats wanted votes and knew they’d get them. Trump doesn’t care.
It was peaceful because the options were deal with MLK or deal with Malcolm X. Both were still killed.
