    Dude was a true revolutionary. Imagine someone saying this s--- in 2019. Part of me wonders how different race relations would be had he not been killed so young. How different certain African-American communities would be & their attitudes toward police. There would have certainly been more violence but would it have led to greater progress?

    He was a black nationalist and he promoted violence. He was a hateful man.
