I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word. Martin Luther King, Jr. 6. Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all.
Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.
Black man, by nature, is divine . . . Integration is based on complete acceptance of the fact that in order to have a decent house or education, black people must move into a white neighborhood or send their children to a white school. White people must be made to understand that they must stop messing with black people or the blacks will fight back. Black people should and must fight back. Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael.
