All Black leaders get killed when they deviate from their messaging about race. That tells you all you need to know about the concept of race itself. History teaches you that MLK's rhetoric was heavily based in civil rights, but it doesn't teach you why he pivoted to economic
rights. History teaches you the "by any means necessary" rhetoric of Malcolm X, but doesn't teach you how is life changed drastically after his pilgrimage to Mecca. Finally, you know who Fred Hampton is, but you don't understand why he was such a threat. All of these men
understood the con race is, but were killed before they could extend this messaging to the masses.
