It's a mind blow to see this comment being downvoted. Literally what Martin Luther King, Jr. preached (and correctly, so).
Fred Hampton and Martin Luther King would probably disagree with this statement.
Personally, what you're alluding to was part of the righteousness of MLK Jr and Mandela. To their own detriment, they faced the consequences of their actions multiple times.
Tell that to Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Ghandi...
In fairness, they were both MLK.
Mlk Jr does have skeletons in his closet
Erm, surely this applies to MLK too.
You cite MLK and Gandhi but we also have to acknowledge people like Malcolm X were effective and influential while advocating an 'any means necessary' stance.
Gandhi, King, and Mandela would like to disagree with you.
TIL yet another way MLK changed America.
