    “First, 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; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’

      Damned glad to meet you, hypnotron. You good on supplies? My cup seem to overflow, at the moment.

        I’m not dying yet, but I like your offer. :)

        We should keep brainstorming. I wish I could ‘friend’ people on lemmy while using an app (I use “Voyager”). Just thinking out loud here.

          Good idea. On another platform I could once put notes next to a username, shows up every post.
