[yellow, a finger up, looking smug]
The answer to oppression is NEVER violence
Turn the other cheek
Pacifism always wins
You could earn rights by asking nicely instead

[yellow, proudly showing us a huge book]
Don’t believe me?
Open a history book!

[yellow, looking frustrated as they are shuffling through the book’s pages]
Ok so…
Uhm…
Not this page…
Wait…
The next one…
Awkward…
Another…
Yeah but…
For sure this time…

[yellow, sweating, protecting their book, a hand raised towards us]
Can you stop looking?
You’re being rude
That’s my book

    Remind me how that King thing turned out, again?

    Civil Rights Act of 1964. Voting Rights Act of 1965. Fair Housing Act of 1968. End of Jim Crow. Nyota Uhura getting a job on the bridge of the Enterprise.

    “You can’t negotiate with a tiger when your head is in it’s mouth.” -Winston Churchill on Appeasement Strategey

    “Now you listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I’ll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method… is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.”

    -FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield on Sheriff Truman threatening to punch him again

      i was referring to how MLK ENDED

      Don’t confuse nonviolence or pacifism for an unwillingness to defend oneself. God blesses the innocent, not the foolish.
