No, it wasn’t…because he was talking about people who didn’t want to see black folks rise up at all if it meant disruption. I would be thrilled to see Gazans gain equality, their own state and be just fine with protestors disrupting the people who could actually affect those changes. Protesting by blocking regular folk from getting anywhere is rock bottom stupid because they don’t have any power to make the change…it’s taking their frustration out at the situation out on innocent people. Instead of speaking truth to power, it’s inflicting their will on the powerless. If you can’t tell right from wrong, that’s a you problem.
If you think MLK would have been all for trapping regular civilians on the US freeways for a war in another continent though, you’re a complete and utter moron.
Nah. Its you that needs to do better. No protest needs to apologize for inconveniencing you.
Your hand wringing is precisely what MLK was talking about.
