      You sound like my brother who screams about how people should home school because it’s so horrible that they teach children to hold respect for me as a person.

      "First, 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”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.”

      Everyone jumping to downvote without considering.

      • if it’s your attitude, most here will disagree but you have a right to your opinion. They also have a right o try to talk you out of it
      • if you’re saying more people feel this way, it’s a legit idea that needs to be considered. People just don’t like change so the bigger the step forward, the more who will think it went too far
