Saying "violence is never the answer" is such a lazy stance...I'm disappointed to see Roland Martin tweeting this...9 times out of 10 when I hear this its from someone with strong ties to the slavery mentality of the Christian church..
Whenever I hear "violence is not the answer" my first thought is "What is the question?"
Whenever I hear "violence never accomplishes anything" my first thought is "It accomplished and maintains the American empire and white supremacy"
Lets try not to get caught up in regurgitating these platitudes without really thinking about what they mean and who is giving them to us...
Almost every significant event in history was put into action due to violence, yet these clowns always spouting off "violence is not the way" when it comes to these whites. As long as blacks can be mistreated in this country without significant repercussions then we will always be looked upon as nothing but trash.
