Also worth noting, that even as MLK was spreading his message of peace, he was accused of causing rioting and violence.

My point was that MLK was well aware of how he was likely to be rewarded by white supremacists for his words and actions, and yet he continued to fight using words instead of fists, which is why he's remembered as great. But here we are in a thread in 2020 arguing over whether or not it's OK (or apparently even desirable) for a racist old man to get his head bashed in on a bus. Depressing as **** really.
