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

If your devotion is to order, where your allegiance is to the polite convenience you've come to accept and expect as a first world consumer, you are no ally of justice.

Again with another poorly thought out opinion that does not logically connect your message with any real measure of virtue. Here you're excusing the conduct of people who would block traffic by chalking it all up to countering the white moderate preferring an absence of tension, which is not a logical conclusion whatsoever as it could be similarly used to argue for hanging racists in the street. It's ignoring the severity of the impact of the protest to break it down into a binary of support/nonsupport. "Either you're with us or you're against us." is the mantra of forced conformity of thought. Seriously, do better.

You write dumb shit like you're trying to hit a word count.

"excusing the conduct of people who would" literally delete this entire cringe flourish and you lose zero meaning. In fact you lose redundancy wHerEiN you first refer to what they're doing and then just say what they're doing in the same sentence. Sophomoric.

It’s ignoring the severity of the impact of the protest to break it down into a binary of support/nonsupport.

So high off your 8th grade writing level that you don't even bother building your sentences around coherent thoughts.

I've read what you wrote and am firmly in the position of looking down on you due to your poorly thought out and immature views. No amount of writing skill is going to cover up your overall lack of intelligence, and you haven't demonstrated any writing skill either. You can convince yourself I'm writing dumb shit just because you disagree with it. I don't care...I just know better.

With true fidelity to my criticism you bore everyone with excessively verbose drivel that contributed nothing
