King explains how the shooting of police in Dallas was already baked by the recipe of America's history of racist exploitation. 

Making a cake is easy... as long as you follow the recipe and instructions. Messing it all up and creating a disgusting, inedible mess is just as easy — particularly if you get distracted or fail to take your time with everything.
