IMPORTANT NOTE:
Myself and the other makers of this video absolutletly do not endorse or promote violence in any form.

This song / video is "about" the first initial positive idea and, the only purpose of this peaceful march is to help bring awareness of racial injustice.

The very second that a march becomes violent, by whatever reasons and/or sources, the whole original peaceful purpose of the march is tainted and disappears.
