We would all do well to remember the teachings of Martin Luther King jr. Few men have been as great at spreading and practicing the true ideas of peace and equal rights.
MLK didn't want special treatment, he wanted all blacks to just be left alone to live their lives with equal protections.
MLK was outspoken about violence. He even refused to appear at rallies with Malcolm X because he was promoting the use of force and violence.
Few, if any of us, will ever be as great as this man.
[spoiler]I know that MLK had issues with infidelity. Every man had his weakness and none are perfect. These issues don't take away from the good he brought the world. [/spoiler]
