Black Power Mixtape
Talib Kweli was intercepted by federal agents for listening to a thirty year old Stokely speech. Seems that that government still fears Stokely..

King and Carmichael
King and Carmichael are two different, but very similar black men. King implies that the blacks have begun to use non-violent demonstrations and marches to prove to the whites that violence isn’t the answer. On the other hand Carmichael is saying that the blacks should defend themselves and that the whites should stop hiding behind police officers and stand up for themselves. I agree that King and Carmichael both believe in non-violence, to a certain extent, a point that needs emphasizing since so many people believe Carmichael is a very violent black man. Although I disagree with much of what King says, I fully endorse his final conclusion that violence is not the answer.
