Yeah that struck me as the most odd. Because if you know anything about black history, it's that "Black power" was a term coined by Kwame Ture (then Stokely Carmichael), and he was very much so against the non-violent type of protest that Martin Luther King undertook to instill reform. I think it's pretty ignorant and shameful that they would first say Martin Luther King's name, and then proceed to beat up those kids in the name of Black Power. Extremely ignorant.
