If you were to stand quietly holding a banner saying that just because you were Black did not mean you were entitled to less rights.
Then someone punched you in the face for doing it, whose fault would that be.
Martin Luther King and The Mahatma before him advocated passive resistance. They risked themselves, their families and their children when they did this.
As a direct result of this the world is a better place. Because they said no, we shall not take this, neither shall we lower ourselves to the level of those who would attack us.
We shall overcome.
what if i held up the banner and my kid got punched in the face for it?
