Americans are trained through 12 years of public education to become docile if or when they protest.

The only characters of the Civil Rights movement that are mentioned in public school are MLK and Rosa Parks.

Practically no mention of Malcom. Everything I learned of the Black Panthers through my public school career, was from watching Forest Gump. BLA? Fannie Lou Hamer? The Deacons for Defense & Justice? Never heard of 'em.

Obviously pacifism is the way to get your message across, right?

Except it fell on deaf ears until black men and women started showing up armed.

(And that, boys and girls, was the start of the gun control movement).

Fuck...I only know the story of The Hurricane because of Bob Dylan.
