On the one hand, if you take up arms against the state, the state will win. On the other, saying that they should have gone about this non violently misses the context that the non violent leaders were murdered anyways. Truly a no win situation and the only solution is for white people to take the honus of dismantling racist systems. I need to do more reading on that.
