Back when the American people had real leaders and real heroes worthy of those names. Even in death, your light shines brightly, Dr. King. Thank you.

It’s up to us. We have to broadcast the vital information on the sides of buildings. The nihilists and pie in the sky xtians have take over or at least they want us to think this. The net is now dominated by psyops and hasbara.

My God that's exactly why I stayed away from recent protests. I knew I'd only ruin what so many have accomplished with these freedom convoys. I knew it was the better thing to do. I just don't have the temper NOT to react to the aggression we saw from our leaders, so I stayed away. I'm glad now that I did so. God bless, Dr King ❤

Bullshit, nonviolence is exactly what the title says, a weapon, a tactic, one that can be very useful and effective when employed correctly but it is NOT a virtue, that's what Dr. King got wrong, those of us who fight for liberation will do what ever it takes to get there

Because the info wasn't here when I needed it, I wanted to come back and share it for anyone else wondering: Interview by Martin Agronsky for "Look Here" Author: King, Martin Luther, Jr. (Dexter Avenue Baptist Church (Montgomery, Ala.) Date: October 27, 1957 Location: Montgomery, Ala. Genre: Interview Topic: Little Rock School Crisis, 1957 MLK: Now the other method that one might use is that of resignation or acquiescence. But I think that is just as bad as violence because non-cooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. Agronsky: You make a difference, a distinction between passive resistance and nonviolent resistance, is that it? MLK: Well, I think that can be something of a (sematical?) problem. If passive resistance means just passively accepting violence or injustice, if it means cowardice and stagnant passivity, then there is a difference because nonviolent resistance does resist. It is dynamically active. It is passive physically, but it is strongly active spiritually Agronsky: In a sense, Would you regard it as moving into the Christian philosophy too? You mean the doctrine of turning the other cheek to regard as positive rather than passive? MLK: I think it is positive. I think very definitely if it is used properly and accepted with a proper attitude. It is a very strong method. It is a method of the strong man,, not the weak man.

Nonviolence can be a very effective tactic but that's all it is, it's a weapon to be wielded, not a principle, if you're facing down a bear you won't swear by a stick as your weapon when there is a gun right next to you, but Dr. King, being a principled man, made that mistake, one of the few mistakes that he ever made was confusing nonviolence as a principle

he said he believes in the intelligent use of the police force. I wonder if he would say different today or not, i know i learned in Community College that he was supported but watched, and that he would organize a protest but someone crooked inside the force would tip off some clan people and then there would be violence. So, i just wonder about how he would feel and if he wouldve chosen anything different looking back. But hindsight is 2020 and in the end his life and movement mattered and did alot.

Our founding fathers and the 13 colonies and what not we began to understand that we need a system that is better than one that has ever been created. We don’t defer to old systems and old schools of thought. We’re better. Or more evolved we understand things differently because we live in a different reality as we did. That is why we can’t defer to Lenin or Marxist or communist sentiment. We’ve done these things before we understand the fallacy. We can do better now and we have the intelligence do so but you need to take up the gauntlet for yourself if you care about our country and what we stand for

In 1989-90 there were thirteen nations that underwent nonviolent revolutions. All of them successful except one, China. That same year, 1.7 billion people were engaged in national nonviolent revolutions. That is a third of humanity!!! If you throw in all of the other nonviolent revolutions in all the other nations in the twentieth century, you get the astonishing figure of 3.34 billion people involved in nonviolent revolutions. That is TWO THIRDS of the human race!!! No one can ever again say that nonviolence doesn't work. It has been working like crazy.

He literally criticises both parties but you missed the point in what he was saying because you made it about yourself. I don't think you care about MLK Jr and are just using him for your agenda. But there were different opinions in civil rights movement. Some disagreed with MLK like Malcolm X for example and he was also critical of the US and both of its parties as he saw they weren't there to help black people but both wanted power. We still see that today. You're make it a party thing, while we are talking about racism which your country is responsible for. Your founders are also racist. It just depends on which groups as some say nonviolence is better and others said violence is necessary to protect ourselves. And protests are not 100% nonviolent because you have different people in them. When black protesters protest most are actually non violent but there is a smaller percentage of violent ones too. The media you get your information from chooses to focus on the violent ones as a way to portray the entire movement as violent because the media is biased. However they were positive about Hong Kong protests which had lots of violence because they oppose china so the media are hypocritical. Every protest I have been to has been a peaceful one but your media doesn't like reporting on those ones.

G.K.Chesterton said Jesus was preaching sanity to a planet of lunatics. Dr King did the same. It is notable that both Gandhi and Einstein would fully agree with Dr King.

There’s a reason why we implemented judges. Because we understood that there is no algorithm that can substitute for a human Conscious and intuition that is why we were supposed to go before a judge of our peers because our forefathers understood that a individual is a fucking idiot. But people can be smart. We have the technology that can be done
