I'm tired of this "I won't stoop to that level" garbage.
There are a lot of people who are perfectly fine with everything happening as long as they can retain their pride and be able to say, "Well **I'm** not responsible ". As MLK put it, they don't want justice, they want order.
I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action";

MLK really do have a way with words.
