119. If you think the Civil Rights Movement was all non-violent, shame on your schooling.

There were very real arguments and fights about methods, tactics, etc.... from *within*. Not to mention real, actual, street violence. I guess you kind of hint about your education on the topic, though, by calling it "MLK's Civil Rights Movement".

Do you consider Malcolm X an "infiltrator"? Stokely Carmichael? Huey Newton?
