I incorrectly thought that Slim was inferring that MLK would have advocated for a more violent form of activism if he had had forewarning about things that would happen later, when from what I do know about the Civil Rights Movement I'm very much under the impression that he was well aware of how things were likely to go and made specific choices when it came to the rights and wrongs of violent retaliation, and the effects it would have.

I accept that that wasn't actually what Slim was saying and I misconstrued his post... but if I'm wrong in the above thinking then also let me know? I can admit that I don't know vast amounts about it.
