    You can walk the path of MLK jr. and another can walk the path of Malcolm X. Changes as massive as the ones we’re seeking often take multiple levers to maneuver into effect.

      Yep, MLK’s carrot would never have succeeded without the stick of Malcom X as a threat.

      Even then, MLK was stopped from spreading his message of economic equity and socialism, which was tragically extinguished before a matching stick like movement for that was formed, by our government in order to prevent that problem explicitly.

      The problem is however, amongst these two levers in particular, only one—ultimately, holds the potential of not only the least amount of lives lost, but the least amount of potential violence and the most potential for truly—again ultimately, reaching the day where at the very least violence is considered obsolete, and no longer necessary.

      The other only offers more of the same; it isn’t anything new but more of what history teaches only creates even more of: hate. The only true remedy to what you or anyone considers as hate—in any given point in time—is love, even to the point of self-sacrifice. It’s being abscent the true woes of violence that lead most to so easily conclude responding to it with love as nonsense.

          I’m sorry if I’ve insulted you in anyway, I’m not here to hate. So if I’ve offended you in anyway I genuinely apologize and I’m sorry about how you feel towards my sentiments, please consider considering them again sometime in the future.

          Happy new year my friend and good day to you.
