    MLK wasn’t killed because he spoke out against Vietnam.

    He was killed because he was abandoning a racial paradigm in favor of a class one. He was building a rainbow coalition.

      Same with Malcolm X, and Fred Hampton. As soon as any of these men started talking about class unity, the people in charge immediately acted to get rid of them. Really shows how scary class consciousness is to the ruling class.
