Nonviolence, is only for the oppressed

Sure there was ghandi, but also there was MLK. Teaching nonviolence to the oppressed seems so weird.... In reference to trayvon Martin, why should the oppressed be obligated to NOT react? When his "girlfriend" was in trial why was she vilified for reacting to the prosecutor? "Never do you find whites encouraging other whites to be nonviolent"- Malcolm X  ...his example of Pearl Harbor still resonates... with the World trade incident, when we are attacked as a country our response isn't nonviolence, it's war. War is their reaction directed/cosigned by the president.... What kind of world would we be in if everyone thought that way? Nations in which we practice drone strikes and kill innocent citizens would be  well within their rights to react THEN... Malcolm X adds as oppressed people of the past (slavery) we are expected to forget oppression, YET the holocaust has two recognized days April 27/28....TWO FUCKING DAYS
