“Maybe she needs to actually read Martin Luther King’s words. He never promoted riots. He did promote peaceful protests, but not riots.”
Martin Luther King’s words, some of them:
“Let me say as I’ve always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. ... But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation’s summers of riots are caused by our nation’s winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again.” [Martin Luther King Jr., “The Other America”]
.. But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard.
Double edged sword. The democrats MO is crushing opposition to their lunacy. Like all of this civil rights charges in 2024 with respect to basic legislation.
At this point I feel like I really don’t care of they want to riot. You can only back up so far.
We've been hearing non-stop for decades about the "plight" of the negroes ... and for all the blather and drivel all we have accomplished is to produce a population of angry, violent, idiotic wards of the state who threaten to burn their own neighborhoods if we get smart and cut off their gravy train. If the negroes want "justice, equality, and humanity" they need to get off their collective ass and EARN those things.
