  I would tell you what courage means if I thought it might help you.

  Someone offers a counterpoint and your first impulse is to insult?

      Then look to what MLK did and preached: non-violent protest.

        he may have advocated non-violence but he did not condemn violence. he understood it as an inevitable and necessary response under continued oppression. please don’t whitewash him.

        we are not going to protest our way out of fascism. i hope we all know there is much more to be done.
