"Judge not a man by the color of his skin but by the content of his character."
The story of Dr. Martin Luther King describes the importance of fighting the injustices of the world with pacifism and non-violence. We learn that Dr. Martin Luther King was a preacher that was able to fight for equal rights for minorities knowing that there was racism that existed. We learn that in the 1960's there was inequality that existed because of racism, and Dr. Martin Luther King fought against racism. We learn that while other movements attempted to incorporate hate and violence, Dr. Martin Luther King preached the importance of civil disobedience against measures that were racist and designed to prevent individuals from improving themselves.
"Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
We learn about the examples that existed in the past of Jim Crowe laws that attempted to prevent individuals from improving themselves. There were also unjust discriminatory laws that called for separate bathrooms, separate water fountains, and even different seatings in buses for people that were African-American or minorities. This describes the manner that sometimes there is racism that exists and there is the need to combat the temporary lies and negative emotions that attempt to lead to hate and envy without reason. We learn that while there were movements calling the need to fight hate with hate seen in false philosophies of hate and lust, Dr. Martin Luther King called on the need to preach filial love, genuine empathy, and civil disobedience describing that racism does not allow for true equality.
"Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice; say I was a drum major for peace; say I was a drum major for righteousness. And all the other shallow things will not matter."
We learn that Dr. Martin Luther King was able to preach and describe the importance of not fighting hate with hate and instead instructed the need to fight against hate by preaching unity, equality, and wisdom. We learn that Dr. Martin Luther King was able to help African-Americans and minorities fight against the injustices of racism that had existed in the past. We learn that because of the preaching and determination of Dr. Martin Luther King, the unjust and unequal Jim Crowe laws were removed and instead the importance of equality, empathy, and filial love was seen. We are able to see the importance of how filial love and genuine empathy can conquer hate when fighting against hate.
We learn that Dr. Martin Luther King's example allows us to know that we can not have negative emotions describing hate, anger, and envy because they attempt to lead to a negative road. We learn that instead we are supposed to persevere preaching truth and learn that there is no need for hate. We learn that the other movements that were non-peaceful describing militant groups were not helpful. Dr. Martin Luther King's example allows us to know that we can persevere preaching truth and not be a part of the inequalities and injustices that false philosophies attempt to lead to. We learn that the elimination of Jim Crowe laws and improvements of equality, equity, and justice for minorities occurred because of Dr. Martin Luther King and individuals that decided to fight against hate with genuine empathy, filial love, and not participating with the injustices of an unequal system.
Martin Luther King Fought Against Racism With Pacifism
"In 1956, Martin Luther King preaching a philosophy of Christian non-violence that he said would conquer evil and save America, led the people of Montgomery, Alabama, in a successful boycott of the city's segregated buses."- The Unraveling of America: A History of Liberalism in the 1960s by Allen J. Matusow (page 62)
Martin Luther King fought against racism by using peaceful resistance and similar strategies that Ghandi and Henry David Thoreau used. Martin Luther King boycotted department stores that did not want to employ African-Americans due to racism. We learned that there were also peaceful demonstrations and protests against racism and racist institutions. This was while the FBI had decided to stand down and not help the African-American community fight against racism in the 1960s. This describes that citizens fought for their civil rights and did not allow racism to dictate their lives. While racist socialists were opposing Martin Luther King, individuals decided to resist hate and envy from socialists and communists with pacifism, empathy, and removing negative emotions. Despite revilings and intimidation, peaceful resistance fought against racism. Individuals demonstrated without violence to show they disagreed with racist Jim Crowe laws and envy from idolators. The department stores that were being boycotted decided to no longer use racist standards to give employment. Department stores decided to employ African-Americans and minorities.
John F. Kennedy would fight for civil rights by working with Martin Luther King. When racist socialists in the 1960s attempted to prevent students from going to university in Mississippi, Kennedy ordered the military to allow the students to go to university similar to Dwight D. Eisenhower who allowed an African-American student in Little Rock to go to school. It was noted that the racist socialists who opposed the students in the 1960s were idolators. It was noted that the idolatrous socialists threw empty bottles and shot rifles attempting to intimidate the marshals restoring order and African-Americans from going to university. To this, Kennedy ordered the army to guard the marshals when the racist idolators attacked the marshals. The troops were sent to restore order and the envious socialists dispersed. It was noted that once the troops arrived, the coward socialists ran from the troops and dispersed. JFK was also impressive choosing to fight for equality. JFK was also fighting against poverty, socialism in Cuba, organized crime, and wanted to send a man to the moon while working with MLK to end racism. Obviously both JFK and MLK were hated for being impressive and fighting for true equality and civil rights.
"Finally around midnight, with the situation worsening by the minute, Kennedy moved to save the marshals. Taking one action he must hoped to avoid, he ordered the army to Oxford. Troops arrived on the campus at 5:00 A.M. The mob set a fire in their path, but as one Justice Department man in the building remembered it, 'the troops came in to the flame, and they marched right through without breaking a step. And there was a kind of visceral, almost physical impact on the mob. They fell back a couple of steps, and there was a kind of exhalation of breath, as if they had been punched by the troops marching through the flames, and that was really the end right there... The mob just melted away.' The toll of the battle included two persons killed (one a foreign newsman), and 375 others, including 166 marshals, wounded. But Meredith was in the university to stay, and the federal court orders had been upheld."- (page 85)
"Kennedy issued an executive order in March 1961- the only civil rights order he issued that year- creating the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity."- (page 64)
Martin Luther King Fought For Minorities and Was Slandered by the FBI Being Called a Communist
"FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had no sympathy with the civil rights movement and used his every resource to limit his responsibility in this area." (page 80)
"Not terminated until June 1966, the FBI's phone taps on King yielded no evidence of Communist subversion, but they did generate political intelligence on the civil rights movement useful to both the Justice Department and the White House."
"Hoover was not content merely to wiretap King."
William Sullivan, Assistant Diretor of the FBI, called Martin Luther King a "clerical fraud and Marxist."- (page 81)
"Sullivan authorized the first microphone surveillance of King's rooms. Bugging was not illegal, but the necessary trespass to plant a bug was."
Martin Luther King fought for the rights of African-Americans and minorities. MLK fought for improved wages of minorities in the 1960s when racism and envy attempted to prevent improved wages for minorities. The FBI slandered MLK calling him a communist being that MLK was a Christian preacher. We learn communism and socialism actually projects its deficits and attempts to oppose Christianity. We learn that the communists are racists and project their deficits unto others. We learn that the FBI started slandering MLK because he was helping individuals who were discriminated based on race. MLK was slandered by the FBI being called a communist and also had the hotelrooms at the locations that he was staying bugged. The FBI wiretapped the hotelrooms at the locations that MLK was staying in different cities. MLK kept fighting despite the opposition from racists in the 1960s.
"[FBI] agents investigated SNCC's complaints of civil rights violations, but nothing ever seemed to happen."
"Martin Luther King said in 1962, 'Every time I saw FBI men in Albany, they were with the local police force."
MLK fought against racism and preached the importance of genuine empathy while fighting against hate. We know that there was slander because MLK was helping individuals fight for improved wages for the working class instead of having decreased wages based on racism. MLK also fought for the civil rights of minorities that was attempted to be prevented by racism. There are history books that described how the FBI did not actually attempt to help the civil rights movement and actually stood aside while citizens fought against racism. There are history books that state that the FBI tried to not help the civil rights movement in the 1960s and that the FBI even opposed MLK calling him a communist and wiretapping his rooms. (There are some good things that the FBI has done in the past, yet there are actually a large number of negative things they have done including slandering MLK and also wiretapping also seen against the Democrats in the 1970s. There is also the story of David Koresh who was attacked by the FBI for "supposedly" owning a hand-gun silencer that most likely could have been planted. I do not know all the details yet the FBI invaded the David Koresh compound due to envy looking for a silencer yet illegally entered the compound trespassing, used explosives, and shot at the people living inside when there were innocent children. David Koresh was married and had children and lived in Waco, TX. The response from the FBI was rather questionable seeing how the silencer was most likely planted and the FBI was envious of David Koresh for living in a manner that was different from the system in the 1990s. These examples help us be far apart from negative people and have healthy skepticism against bureaucracies that have attempted to usurp authority. We can have gratitude being far apart from negative and deceitful people who do not look to help others.)
MLK Fought For Civil Rights in Birmingham, Alabama
"In response to an invitation from African American leaders, Martin Luther King initiated a carefully prepared campaign on April 3, 1963, to smash segregation in that grim, raw industrial city. King was aware of the stakes."
"We believed that while a campaign in Birmingham would be the toughest fight in our civil rights careers, it could, if successful, break the back of segregation all over the nation,' he wrote."- (page 86)
MLK persisted despite discouragements and persecution from the FBI. MLK was able to make non-violent protests in Birmingham where individuals fought for their civil rights despite opposition from racist socialists and the FBI. It was noted that after MLK and individuals marched peacefully in Birmingham, the socialist racists attempted to stop the non-violent marches. MLK had opposition who told him to cease the marches, and MLK kept protesting. MLK was arrested for keeping the protests going. MLK spent eight days in jail for choosing to keep protesting peacefully.
"Demonstrations grew daiy in size and intensity, until on April 10 a local judge issued an injunction banning further protests. King, who had never defied a court order, decided to take his Ghandian philosophy to its logical conclusion and keep on marching. On Good Friday, April 12, he was arrested and jailed. One consequence was his famous "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" an eloquent defense of demonstrations, civil disobedience, and non-violent protests."
MLK would write Letter from a Birmingham Jail that described the importance of peaceful protests and civil disobedience. MLK was able to keep marching and enlisted children to march in the protests. To this, the Commissioner of Public Safety (not governor), Bull Connor, flew into a fit of rage seeing the civil rights movement persevere despite envy and opposition. In the next protest, Bull Connor told police to use dogs, fire hoses, clubs, and their batons to beat on protesters. Pictures of the protest appeared on newspapers showing obvious racism from socialists against peaceful protesters. The Civil Rights Movement kept persisting and both the North and South saw the need to resist racism and violence. Despite hate and envy from Bull Connor, individuals kept marching and protesting segregation and racism.
"After eight days King departed from his cell and resumed leadership of the demonstrations. When secret talks between white and African American leaders broke down, he dramatically escalated tactics on May 2 by recruiting thousands of schoolchildren to join the protests and fill up the jails. The appearance of the children threw Bull Connor, Birmingham's Commissioner of Public Safety, into a rage. So far, Connor had handled the demonstrations with relative restraint. But on May 3 he set upon the marchers with dogs, clubs, and fire hoses, making martyrs of his victims and assuring their triumph." -(page 86 and 87)
Martin Luther King Persevered Despite Persecution From Socialist Idolators
"Early in January 1962 the FBI made the startling discovery that one of King's closest advisors was a New York lawyer, Stanley Levison, key administrator in the early 1950s of the secret funds of the American Communist party. Though Levison had become alienated from the party sometime in 1955 and ceased thereafter to participate in its activities, the FBI reflexively concluded that he was now exploiting his considerable influence on King to advance the world Communist conspiracy. ...Evidence in the FBI's possession casting serious doubts on these characterizations was ignored.
MLK was being wiretapped in his phone conversations for nearly three years without legality based on slander and false accusations of being a communist. After the phone wiretapping produced no evidence of MLK being a socialist, the FBI proceeded to wiretap his hotel rooms. The FBI was also illegally surveilling and wiretapping the conversations of Levison, an African American lawyer, who advised MLK and had ceased to be a part of the socialists since 1955. Hoover wiretapped Levison's conversations which also proved that he was no longer an active member of the communist party. Despite conclusive evidence that MLK was not a socialist, the FBI kept illegally surveilling MLK. This describes how the FBI was obstructing and opposing the civil rights movement and not about MLK being a socialist.
"Martin Luther King described it in his book, Why We Can't Wait: On that day several thousand African Americans marched on the town, the jails were so full that the police could only arrest a handful. There were African Americans on the sidewalks, in the streets, standing, sitting in the isles of downtown stores. There were square blocks of African Americans, a veritable sea of black faces. They were committing no violence; they were just present and singing. Downtown Birmingham echoed to the strains of the freedom songs.' That afternoon business leaders sent word to King that they were ready to negotiate. Three days later, truce terms were announced: the big department stores agreed to desegregate within 90 days and promote and hire African Americans; African American leaders canceled demonstrations and called off the boycotts of stores.'"- (pages 87-88)
MLK would go to Birmingham, Alabama and organized protests against department stores that did not want to hire African Americans. There were mass boycotts and protests that were peaceful in nature and looked to fight against racist segregation laws. MLK was able to persevere despite persecution and harrassment from socialist idolators and the FBI. Instead of being discouraged, MLK organized one of the biggest boycotts that caused big chain department stores to reconsider giving employment to African Americans. Business leaders initially refused to hire African Americans and minorities, but reconsidered because they saw that the protests and boycotts were peaceful. Business leaders of department stores began to hire African Americans and minorities within three months of the boycotts. MLK was able to help African Americans and minorities break the barrier of workplace discrimination that attempted to prevent equality in employment in civil society in the United States in the 1960s. This was after also helping desegregate bus transportation in the 1950s. (In these times that are not the best of times, we can persevere boycotting anything that has to do with idol worship (for example, propaganda from the media, movies, series, music, and negative information) and avoiding false prophets and socialists who have envy and do not like competition seen in multiple fields since the 2010s and most notable with the experimental covid "vaccines".
Matusow's Surprise at MLK Persevering After the Civil Rights Movement Bill Removed Segregation in 1963
"After Selma, King could have retired with his Nobel Prize to his church in Atlanta, there to live out a life as one of the most esteemed and honored citizens."- (page 199)
Allen Matusow who was the author of the book that described the racism that existed in the 1960s along with the courage of righteous individuals to fight racism with filial love, stated that MLK kept fighting against an unjust system. Instead of retiring from fighting for civil rights in 1964, MLK kept persevering and went on to fight for equal housing opportunities for African Americans and minorities during Lyndon Baines Johnson's administration. MLK actualy cared about others and after helping the civil rights movement fight against segregation in the south, he went to Chicago to fight against unequal housing opportunities for African Americans and minorities.
The author of the book, the Unraveling of America, described that he was surprised that MLK did not retire. MLK instead of quitting, decided to keep fighting in the North of the United States against segregation in the housing market. MLK made strides against segregation in Chicago where African Americans and minorities did not have the best housing opportunities based on racism. MLK also fought for improved wages for the working class when the monopoly "capitalists" attempted to prevent increases in the wages of the working class similar to how laundry workers were prevented from receiving minimum wages when JFK instituted the minimum wage in the 1960s.
Martin Luther King Fought For Improved Wages For The Working Class
Martin Luther King was envied by socialists for fighting for improved wages for the working class. Even after helping African-Americans and minorities fight against racism in Birmingham and Montgomery, Martin Luther King was able to keep fighting for civil rights. After the Civil Rights Bill from JFK passed legislation, MLK kept fighting for housing rights to allow African-Americans and minorities to have improved housing. MLK also fought for improved wages for the working class. MLK went to live in the slums of Chicago seeing how there was not equal housing opportunities for African-Americans and minorities.
MLK also protested against the Vietnam War describing the importance of civil disobedience and pacifism. The Vietnam War was a war that was protested by a large number of people including students at universities. This was because individuals considered the Vietnam War a senseless war. MLK would speak out against the war which also may have led to envy from socialists. MLK was able to keep fighting for true equality and for pacifism. MLK was also vocal against Lyndon Baines Johnson's inability at creating equal housing legislation.
Martin Luther King Fought For Equal Housing Rights
"In 1966, King's organization- the Southern Christian Leadership Conference- had by now chosen Chicago as the testing ground for nonviolent resistance in the North. Operating on a budget of $10,000-a-month, members of his staff opened an office on the West Side in October 1965 and began planning a major campaign, whose slogan would be to 'end slums'. In January 1966 King himself came to town, moved part time into a dingy $90-a-month flat in the heart of the ghetto, and took over the so called Chicago movement."
"Needing to begin somewhere, King decided on a campaign for open housing. On July 10, 1966, Freedom Sunday, King launched his drive with a rally that only half filled the 85,000 seats in Soldier's Field."
'Our power does not reside in Molotov cocktails, knives, and bricks,' he told a crowd, whose members included the notorious Blackstone Rangers and other of the city's street gangs. Afterward, like his namesake at Wittenberg four centuries before, he marched to City Hall and placed on the door a list of his movement's demands. Chief among them was open housing. As of July 11, we shall cease to be accomplices to a housing system of discrimination, segregation, and degradation,' he declared. 'We shall begin to act as if Chicago was an open city.'" -(page 203-204)
"King began demonstrations against the conspiracy of bankers, builders, real-estate brokers, and home owners to keep Chicago's African American population penned up in the ghetto."
MLK fought for equal housing rights in Chicago in the 1960s. There was racism in the housing market in the 1960s described by the manner that African Americans and minorities were not allowed to live in the better parts of town and suburbs in specific cities. In Chicago, MLK went to live in the slums and was able to fight against racism in the housing market. MLK described that true power does not reside in violence and instead resides in practicing filial love and genuine empathy. MLK convinced individuals to practice civil disobedience and peaceful protests instead of rioting and using violence. MLK fought against a real conspiracy from socialists who were racists and did not want to share resources (good paying jobs, education, and equal housing) with others by resorting to racism and discrimination based on ethnicity and race instead of practicing genuine empathy.
"Law or no law, did America move any closer in the 1960s to Martin Luther King's goal of an open housing market? Apparently, she did. On the basis of data in the 1970 census, demographers detected a slight trend toward residential desegregation in the nation's larger cities."- (page 208)
It is noted that there was improvement concerning equal housing in the 1970s due to the efforts of MLK and righteous Christians who fought racism with genuine empathy and civil disobedience. MLK described the need to persevere fighting racism. MLK did not retire after being a major cause of desegregation in the Southern US in the 1960s. MLK went to the Northern US and was able to fight against desegregation in the housing market and also fight for better wages for the working class. MLK was probably not appreciated by the FBI, Hoover, Sullivan, idolators, racists, monopoly "capitalists", and socialists. Despite opposition, MLK was able to keep persisting and never gave up.
MLK was able to speak out against Lyndon Baines Johnson's inability to create legislation that would eliminate racial discrimination in the housing market in the 1960s. Johnson seemed to appear to want to make legislation but did not actually follow with his actions. It appeared to many individuals that he was shirking at the creation of anti-segregation legislation in the housing market. MLK spoke truth and Johnson was not trying to help desegregate the housing market.
"Civil rights leaders had been pressing Johnson to act against housing discrimination since 1964. By himself, they said, he had the authority to kick the financial props from under the dual housing market and open the suburbs for African Americans. All he had to do was amend Kennedy's 1962 housing order forbidding banks and savings and loans associations to lend mortgage money to biased builders and developers. Johnson hesitated for two reasons. The Justice Department doubted that he had the requisite authority, and the political risks of such an order were enormous... Johnson solved his housing dilemma by shirking responsibility while appearing to fulfill it. In his January 1966 State of the Union Message he called on Congress to enact a fair-housing measure and in April submitted appropriate legislation. Of course, as civil rights leaders knew only too well, Congress was unlikely to enact it- which is why they had favored an executive order in the first place. Joseph Rauh, counsel for the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, commented sourly, 'I think it is a means of getting off the hook on an issue they don't want to face."- (page 206)
"Expressing a widely held view, Martin Luther King remarked, 'I don't think the President has done battle for the bill or given enough leadership to get it through.'"- (page 207)
"Nevertheless, few of them ever doubted its ethical superiority over the bloody rantings of H. Rap Brown."
"And despite the party's effort to improve its image sponsoring free breakfasts for the poor, many Panthers seemed more interested in crime than social justice."
"...Black nationalism, like all other nationalisms, emphasized what divided men rather than their common humanity." -Patriotism is love for one's own country while nationalism is racism and hatred against other countries and against patriotism. MLK and righteous Christians wanted a better country without racism in the 1960s without resorting to violence and racism. Jihadi violence from Black Panthers and Weatherman described that they were socialists and were against peace. Individuals were able to note the difference and preferred the Civil Right's Movement in the 1960s despite opposition and envy.
The Assassination of MLK
MLK was assassinated in 1968 by a recidivist criminal who was a racist socialist. The individual shot MLK with a sniper rifle while MLK was in the balcony of his motel. MLK was in Memphis, Tennessee helping working class workers to get better wages. MLK was fighting against racism and improved wages for sanitation workers and individuals of the working class. Because MLK kept fighting for better wages for the working class, protesting segregation in the housing market, and voicing opposition against the Vietnam War, the FBI, Hoover, and Sullivan probably did not appreciate MLK nor his record of leading the Civil Rights Movement and desegregation in the United States.
MLK was assassinated in 1968 by a socialist. With MLK's assassination, Congress passed legislation that helped desegregate the housing market. Johnson would not seek re-election. Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy who was going to campaign for the presidency in 1968 and was going to win the Democratic nomination was assassinated by a socialist jihadi. Most likely the FBI, Hoover, and Sullivan did not want another Kennedy presidency. MLK was able to endure 15 years of harassment from the racist socialists and turn all the hate and envy into determination to remove racism from the United States of America in the 1960s. MLK's life describes how a single individual can cause significant change for the better. MLK never gave up and was able to make the United States a better place. Hoover would die of disease in 1972 and be remembered as one of the worst presidents of all time serving four years and was known for doing nothing in the Great Depression.
Martin Luther King Was a Christian Preacher and Not a Socialist
"Those who heard Martin Luther King's speech learned, if they did not already know, why this African American man had become the unrivaled leader of his people."
"When the architects of our great republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
MLK helped the civil rights movement by fighting against racism seen in segregation laws. For his commitment and determination to fight racism with pacifism, MLK was slandered, illegally surveilled, intimidated, reviled, placed in jail, and hated. Despite the persecution, MLK was able to keep fighting back against racism and the injustices of an imperfect United States in the 1960s. MLK did not falter in his fight against racism and inequality, fighting hate with filial love and genuine empathy. MLK was able to persist in Birmingham and also provide hope in the March in Washington where 250,000 individuals arrived to describe how the civil rights movement seeked to remove racism from the United States in the 1960s.
JFK was able to pass legislation that prevented racism in employment and the workforce in 1963. JFK decided to stand with the civil rights movement. The bill described that segregation in civil society was removed in restaurants, theaters, public places, buses, and schools. This was after a few racist governors had attempted to prevent African American students from going to university in Mississippi and Alabama. We learn that JFK sent the marshals and army to allow students to go to school while the FBI stood down. MLK was vital and indispensible to the success of the civil rights movement. Choosing to preach pacifism instead of violence, the civil rights movement abounded and gave African Americans and minorities the opportunity to obtain employment, an education, use public transport, play sports in school, college, and professionally, and leave racism in the past in the United States in the 1960s. (We know that sadly there is still racism in the US by idolatrous socialists who hate Christianity, multiracial individuals, different ethnicities, and industrious individuals. Idolatrous socialists also hate impressive individuals who actually worked hard to improve instead of trusting in trust funds, corruption, and non-compete clauses.)
