How many rappers emulate Dr. King's call to non violence? Why is that part of his mission ignored by so many? It isnt all about racism.

I agree 100%. The Hip Hop culture became enamored with Violence early on... I do recognize that his message of unwavering non-violence only had so much traction throughout the 70s, 80s, 90s, & now. Self-defense is intelligence.
