I came in here to post MLK and I'm black. I respect his ideology and all that he accomplished. As a child I dreamed to follow in his footsteps. It pisses me off that he put himself, along with others, through so much. The ideal of peace is a wonder to believe in. The way of which he went by it was not happening, especially during that time period. Not saying he had to result to violence, but a no back down and I'm not going to take this mess approach was needed. Taking stones to the head and not throwing them back?
I'm more fond of Malcolm X more than MLK myself, but this is just ridiculous. MLK accomplished a lot with civil disobidience.
What's ridiculous!? Maybe I worded this wrong. I stated that I respect his ideal for peace and everything he accomplished. For a long time I wanted to be Dr. King. As I got older my views changed. The OP said pissed not hate. It pisses me off to watch videos of hundreds of blacks marching with Dr. King while being unfairly attacked and not fighting back. Dr. King, the man, does not piss me off, just the thought of what he put himself through to obtain peace. He lived during a time where it was not going to happen that way.
